Roman CCS White Paper: Characterizing the Galactic population of isolated black holes
Casey Y. Lam, Natasha Abrams, Jeff Andrews +34
Although there are estimated to be 100 million isolated black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way, only one has been found so far, resulting in significant uncertainty about their propert…
The Galactic Center with Roman
Sean K. Terry, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +31
We advocate for a Galactic center (GC) field to be added to the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). The new field would yield high-cadence photometric and astrometric measur…
Seven Classes of Rotational Variables From a Study of 50,000 Spotted Stars with ASAS-SN, Gaia, and APOGEE
Anya Phillips, C. S. Kochanek, Tharindu Jayasinghe +4
We examine the properties of rotational variables from the ASAS-SN survey using distances, stellar properties, and probes of binarity from DR3 and the…
A Multiwavelength Study of the Massive Colliding Wind Binary WR 20a: A Possible Progenitor for Fast-Spinning LIGO Binary Black Hole Mergers
Grace M. Olivier, Laura A. Lopez, Katie Auchettl +7
WR 20a is the most massive close-in binary known in our Galaxy. It is composed of two 80 M Wolf-Rayet stars with a short period of 3.7 days in the open cl…
Unicorns and Giraffes in the binary zoo: stripped giants with subgiant companions
Kareem El-Badry, Rhys Seeburger, Tharindu Jayasinghe +5
We analyze two binary systems containing giant stars, V723 Mon ("the Unicorn") and 2M04123153+6738486 ("the Giraffe"). Both giants orbit more massive but less luminous companions,…
The Seventeenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Complete Release of MaNGA, MaStar and APOGEE-2 Data
Abdurro'uf, Katherine Accetta, Conny Aerts +337
This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the complete…
Birth of a Be star: an APOGEE search for Be stars forming through binary mass transfer
Kareem El-Badry, Charlie Conroy, Eliot Quataert +7
Motivated by recent suggestions that many Be stars form through binary mass transfer, we searched the APOGEE survey for Be stars with bloated, stripped companions. From a well-defi…
KELT-24b: A 5M Planet on a 5.6 day Well-Aligned Orbit around the Young V=8.3 F-star HD 93148
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Jason D. Eastman, George Zhou +76
We present the discovery of KELT-24 b, a massive hot Jupiter orbiting a bright (V=8.3 mag, K=7.2 mag) young F-star with a period of 5.6 days. The host star, KELT-24 (HD 93148), has…
Discovery of a Candidate Black Hole - Giant Star Binary System in the Galactic Field
Todd A. Thompson, Christopher S. Kochanek, Krzysztof Z. Stanek +14
We report the discovery of the first likely black hole in a non-interacting binary system with a field red giant. By combining radial velocity measurements from the Apache Point Ob…
