Characterizing bright Scuti pulsators using TESS light curves:II. Pulsation amplitude and energy distributions

Prasad Mani, Timothy Bedding, Simon Murphy +2

Pulsations in Scuti stars exhibit a wide range of excited frequencies and amplitudes, but the underlying principles governing their amplitude distribution remain unclear. We re…

The Close Binary V486 Carinae

Ahmet Erdem, Volkan Bakis, Burcu Ozkardes +5

The hitherto neglected close binary V486 Car is studied with the aid of newly applied satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and TESS), high dispersion spectrometry (HERCULES) and ground-…

FQ Circini: An Ordinary Nova with a High-mass B1 V(n)(e) Companion Whose Decretion Disk Transfers Mass to the White Dwarf via Roche-Lobe Overflow

Bradley E. Schaefer, Andrew Pearce, Tom Love +4

FQ Cir was an ordinary fast He/N classical nova, peaking at =10.9. The pre-eruption and post-eruption counterpart was at =14.0, making the smallest known classical nova ampli…

Comparative study of the W UMa type binaries S Ant and Epsilon CrA

Volkan Bakis, Edwin Budding, Ahmet Erdem +6

Contact binaries challenge contemporary stellar astrophysics with respect to their incidence, structure and evolution. We explore these issues through a detailed study of two brigh…

The enigmatic multiple star VV Ori

Edwin Budding, John Southworth, Kresimir Pavlovski +6

New photometry, including TESS data, have been combined with recent spectroscopic observations of the Orion Ib pulsating triple-star system VV Ori. This yields a revised set of abs…

V618 Sgr: Galactic eclipsing symbiotic nova detected in repeated outbursts

J. Merc, R. Gális, P. Velez +9

V618 Sgr was previously classified as an R CrB-type variable and later as a possible symbiotic star. Our study aims to analyse the nature of this target, which is currently undergo…

V410 Puppis: A useful laboratory for early stellar evolution

Ahmet Erdem, Derya Surgit, Burcu Ozkardes +6

New spectrometric (HERCULES) and ground-based multi-colour photometric data on the multiple star V410 Puppis are combined with satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and TESS), as well as…

Absolute Parameters of Young Stars: V Puppis

Edwin Budding, Tom Love, Mark G. Blackford +2

New spectrometric data on V Pup are combined with satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and recent TESS) to allow a revision of the absolute parameters with increased precision. We find:…

MACHO Alert 95-30 : First Real-Time Observation of Extended Source Effects in Gravitational Microlensing

C. Alcock, W. H. Allen, R. A. Allsman +54

We present analysis of MACHO Alert 95-30, a dramatic gravitational microlensing event towards the Galactic bulge whose peak magnification departs significantly from the standard po…
