Rate of caustic crossing microlensing events in stellar binary lenses with significant orbital motion
Arjun Murlidhar, B. Scott Gaudi, Todd. A. Thompson
Binary lens microlensing events in which the source crosses a caustic produce sharp, distinctive magnification peaks and can therefore be readily identified. In this paper, we expl…
Hidden in Plain Sight II: Characterizing the luminous companion to Kappa Velorum with VLTI/GRAVITY
D. M. Rowan, S. Kraus, Todd A. Thompson
Kappa Velorum (Markeb, HD 81188) is one of the brightest stars in the Southern sky and has long been known to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary. The binary mass function is la…
The structure and evolution of a high-mass stellar merger in the Hertzsprung gap
Rachel A. Patton, Marc H. Pinsonneault, Todd A. Thompson
Post-main-sequence binary mergers are a common evolutionary pathway for massive stars, but the effects of merging on the long-term structure and evolution of the resulting star are…
Precise and Accurate Mass and Radius Measurements of Fifteen Galactic Red Giants in Detached Eclipsing Binaries
D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +9
Precise and accurate mass and radius measurements of evolved stars are crucial to calibrating stellar models. Stars in detached eclipsing binaries (EBs) are excellent potential cal…
Very Low-mass Stellar and Substellar Companions to Solar-like Stars from MARVELS II: A Short-period Companion Orbiting an F Star with Evidence of a Stellar Tertiary And Significant Mutual Inclination
Scott W. Fleming, Jian Ge, Rory Barnes +59
We report the discovery via radial velocity of a short-period (P = 2.430420 \pm 0.000006 days) companion to the F-type main sequence star TYC 2930-00872-1. A long-term trend in the…
