A Mass Transferring Brown Dwarf Binary on a 57 Minute Orbit
Samuel Whitebook, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kevin Burdge +9
Mass transfer in stellar binaries has been well studied in most stellar mass ranges, with the notable exception of ultracool stars and substellar brown dwarfs. We report the discov…
Multi-color characterization of optically invisible FU Orionis-type outbursts: Demonstration and prospects for the WINTER survey
Danielle Frostig, Kishalay De, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +8
Episodic mass accretion is the dominant mechanism for mass assembly in the proto-stellar phase. Although prior optical time-domain searches have allowed detailed studies of individ…
An optical to infrared study of type II SN2024ggi at nebular times
Luc Dessart, Rubina Kotak, Wynn Jacobson-Galan +5
We present 0.3-21mic observations at ~275d and ~400d for Type II supernova (SN) 2024ggi, combining ground-based optical and near-infrared data from the Keck I/II telescopes and spa…
Revealing a main-sequence star that consumed a planet with JWST
Ryan M. Lau, Jacob E. Jencson, Colette Salyk +8
The subluminous red nova (SLRN) ZTF SLRN-2020 is the most compelling direct detection of a planet being consumed by its host star, a scenario known as a planetary engulfment event.…
Assessing the Impact of Binary Systems on Microlensing Using SPISEA and PopSyCLE Population Simulations
Natasha S. Abrams, Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam +3
Gravitational microlensing provides a unique opportunity to probe the mass distribution of stars, black holes, and other objects in the Milky Way. Population simulations are necess…
A Link Between White Dwarf Pulsars and Polars: Multiwavelength Observations of the 9.36-Minute Period Variable Gaia22ayj
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, Pasi Hakala +30
White dwarfs (WDs) are the most abundant compact objects, and recent surveys have suggested that over a third of WDs in accreting binaries host a strong (B 1 MG) magnetic…
