Beam monitoring for radiotherapy from conventional to FLASH dose rates using Low Gain Avalanche Silicon detectors
Cristhian Cadena, Antonio Cota Rodriguez, Tonatiuh GarcÃa Chávez +10
We report the performance of low gain avalanche Silicon detectors (LGADs) for instantaneous electron and proton beam monitoring across dose rates ranging from conventional radiothe…
White dwarf + M dwarf Detached Binaries in Long Period Radio Transients: Observed Binary Parameters, Evolution, and Population Constraints
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kareem El-Badry, Iris de Ruiter +4
Long period radio transients (LPTs) are the slowest radio-pulsing sources ever found, with the current population spanning periods of seven minutes to over six hours. Two of the th…
JWST observations of three long-period AM CVn binaries: detection of the donors and hints of magnetically truncated disks
Kareem El-Badry, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Matthew J. Green +1
We present JWST/NIRSpec high-cadence infrared spectroscopy of three long-period, eclipsing AM CVn binaries, Gaia14aae, SRGeJ0453, and ZTFJ1637. These systems have orbital periods o…
The White Dwarf Initial-Final Mass Relation from Open Clusters in Gaia DR3
David R. Miller, Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl +6
The initial-final mass relation (IFMR) links a star's birth mass to the mass of its white dwarf (WD) remnant, providing key constraints on stellar evolution. Open clusters offer th…
Variability of Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae with the Zwicky Transient Facility. II. Long-Timescale Variables including Wide Binary and Late Thermal Pulse Candidates
Soumyadeep Bhattacharjee, Nicole Reindl, Howard E. Bond +14
In this second paper on our variability survey of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) using ZTF, we report 11 long-timescale variables with variability timescales ranging fr…
Circumstellar interaction in the extreme white dwarf merger remnant ZTF\,J1901+1458: A new class of white dwarf merger remnants with X-ray emission
Aayush Desai, Ilaria Caiazzo, Stephane Vennes +31
Double degenerate white dwarf (WD) mergers can exhibit extreme magnetic fields exceeding G and rapid rotation, but their spectral-energy distributions and high-energy emis…
