Kepler-1661 b: A Neptune-sized Kepler Transiting Circumbinary Planet around a Grazing Eclipsing Binary
Quentin J Socia, William F Welsh, Jerome A Orosz +7
We report the discovery of a Neptune-size (R_p = 3.87 +/- 0.06 R_Earth) transiting circumbinary planet, Kepler-1661 b, found in the Kepler photometry. The planet has a period of ~1…
Photometric Observations of the 2017 Outburst of Recurrent Nova M31N 2007-10b
Quentin J. Socia, Martin Henze, Allen W. Shafter +1
M31 is an ideal laboratory for observing and studying recurrent novae. To date, there have been 18 recurrent nova discovered in M31, six of which have recurrence periods less than…
KIC 9832227: Using Vulcan Data to Negate The 2022 Red Nova Merger Prediction
Quentin J Socia, William F Welsh, Donald R Short +5
KIC 9832227 is a contact binary whose 11 hr orbital period is rapidly changing. Based on the apparent exponential decay of its period, the two stars were predicted to merge in earl…
The Fast, Luminous Ultraviolet Transient AT2018cow: Extreme Supernova, or Disruption of a Star by an Intermediate-Mass Black Hole?
Daniel A. Perley, Paolo A. Mazzali, Lin Yan +60
Wide-field optical surveys have begun to uncover large samples of fast (t_rise < 5d), luminous (M_peak < -18), blue transients. While commonly attributed to the breakout of a super…
