Drifters on the edge of town: Boötis stars in clusters

Richard J. Parker, Megan Allen

Boötis stars are a subset of chemically peculiar A-stars that display Solar abundances in lighter elements (C, N, O, S, etc.) but a deficiency in Iron-peak elements. This diffe…

No signature of the birth environment of exoplanets from their host stars' Mahalanobis phase space

George A. Blaylock-Squibbs, Richard J. Parker, Emma C. Daffern-Powell

The architectures of extrasolar planetary systems often deviate considerably from the ``standard" model for planet formation, which is largely based on our own Solar System. In par…

Weighing Melnick 34: the most massive binary system known

Katie A. Tehrani, Paul A. Crowther, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +4

Here we confirm Melnick 34, an X-ray bright star in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud, as an SB2 binary comprising WN5h+WN5h components. We present orbital soluti…
