Physics of Eclipsing Binaries. VI. Hot, compact stars
David Jones, Nicole Reindl, Kyle Conroy +9
Models of eclipsing binaries require the assignment of appropriate emergent intensities to the surface elements of the binary components. For distance-dependent modelling of flux-c…
BlastBerries: How Supernovae Affect Lyman Continuum Escape Fractions and Ionizing Photon Production in Local Analogs of High-Redshift Galaxies
Miranda Y. Kong, David O. Jones, Nicole E. Drakos +16
While compact, star-forming galaxies are believed to play a key role in cosmic reionization, the physical mechanisms enabling the escape of ionizing photons through the galactic in…
Is the nitrogen-rich source PN K4-47 a true planetary nebula?
Thomas Steinmetz, Tomasz Kaminski, David Jones +3
PN K4-47 is a young planetary nebula that exhibits shock-excited bipolar lobes and a complex molecular environment, with the highest number of molecules detected within a planetary…
Classifying white dwarfs from multi-object spectroscopy surveys with machine learning
James Munday, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Ingrid Pelisoli +5
With tens to hundreds of spectra of white dwarfs being taken each night from multi-object spectroscopic surveys, automated spectral classification is essential as part of efficient…
Post-Perihelion Integral Field Spectroscopy of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Willem B. Hoogendam, David O. Jones, Bin Yang +10
The environs of other stellar systems may be directly probed by analyzing the cometary activity of interstellar objects. The recently discovered interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was th…
Spectral evolution of hot hybrid white dwarfs: II. Photometry
Semih Filiz, Nicole Reindl, David Jones +4
We present a photometric analysis of 19 DA and 13 DAO white dwarfs (WDs) with effective temperatures exceeding 60 kK, building on the spectral analysis reported in the first paper…
Feeling Blue: Constructing a Robust SALT3 UV Template and Constraining its Redshift Dependency
Qinan Wang, David O. Jones, Justin D. R. Pierel +13
Upcoming cosmological surveys will obtain numerous rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), yet there is concern about how standardizable SNe Ia are…
TITAN DR1: An Improved, Validated, and Systematically-Controlled Recalibration of ATLAS Photometry toward Type Ia Supernova Cosmology
Elijah G. Marlin, Yukei S. Murakami, Dillon Brout +14
ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial Last Alert System) is a time-domain survey using four telescopes, covering the entire sky. It has observed over 10,000 spectroscopically confirmed Type…
Dynamical binary interactions in the 2040s
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Ondřej Pejcha, Tomek Kamiński +15
Dynamical binary interactions such as common envelope (CE) evolution or stellar mergers are a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of binary phenomena, ranging from bl…
The Most Luminous Known Fast Blue Optical Transient AT 2024wpp: Unprecedented Evolution and Properties in the Ultraviolet to the Near-Infrared
Natalie LeBaron, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +45
We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic ultraviolet-optical-infrared campaign on the luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) AT 2024wpp over the first ~100 d. AT…
The DBL Survey II: towards a mass-period distribution of double white dwarf binaries
James Munday, Ingrid Pelisoli, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +14
Double white dwarf binaries are an important remnant of binary evolution as they are possible type Ia supernova progenitors and strong sources of gravitational waves in the low-fre…
A super-Chandrasekhar mass type Ia supernova progenitor at 49 pc set to detonate in 23 Gyr
James Munday, Ruediger Pakmor, Ingrid Pelisoli +9
Double white dwarf binaries are a leading explanation to the origin of type Ia supernovae, but no system exceeding the Chandrasekhar mass limit (1.4 M) has been found that…
JWST/MIRI Study of the Enigmatic Mid-Infrared Rings in the Planetary Nebula NGC 1514
Michael E. Ressler, Alba Aller, David Jones +3
While NGC 1514 is an elliptical, but complex, planetary nebula at optical wavelengths, it was discovered to have a pair of infrared-bright, axisymmetric rings contained within its…
Probing the Local Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function with Gaia
N. Chornay, N. A. Walton, D. Jones +1
The Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function (PNLF) remains an important extragalactic distance indicator despite a still limited understanding of its most important feature - the brig…
The GW Vir instability strip in the light of new observations of PG 1159 stars. Discovery of pulsations in the central star of Abell 72 and variability of RX J0122.9-7521
Paulina Sowicka, Gerald Handler, David Jones +9
We present the results of new time series photometric observations of 29 pre-white dwarf stars of PG 1159 spectral type, carried out in the years 2014-2022. For the majority of sta…
Ondr}ejov echelle spectrograph, ground based support facility for exoplanet missions
Petr Kabath, Marek Skarka, Silvia Sabotta +18
Fulfilling the goals of space-based exoplanetary transit surveys, like Kepler and TESS, is impossible without ground-based spectroscopic follow-up. In particular, the first-step ve…
