Red Supergiant Stars as Cosmic Abundance Probes: KMOS Observations in NGC 6822
L. R. Patrick, C. J. Evans, B. Davies +5
We present near-IR spectroscopy of red supergiant (RSG) stars in NGC 6822, obtained with the new VLT-KMOS instrument. From comparisons with model spectra in the J-band we determine…
Kepler-445, Kepler-446 and the Occurrence of Compact Multiples Orbiting Mid-M Dwarf Stars
Philip S. Muirhead, Andrew W. Mann, Andrew Vanderburg +7
We confirm and characterize the exoplanetary systems Kepler-445 and Kepler-446: two mid-M dwarf stars, each with multiple, small, short-period transiting planets. Kepler-445 is a m…
Quantitative Spectroscopic J-band Study of Red Supergiants in Perseus OB-1
J. Zachary Gazak, Ben Davies, Rolf Kudritzki +2
We demonstrate how the metallicities of red supergiant (RSG) stars can be measured from quantitative spectroscopy down to resolutions of ~3000 in the J-band. We have obtained high…
NLTT 41135: a field M-dwarf + brown dwarf eclipsing binary in a triple system, discovered by the MEarth observatory
Jonathan Irwin, Lars Buchhave, Zachory K. Berta +13
We report the discovery of an eclipsing companion to NLTT 41135, a nearby M5 dwarf that was already known to have a wider, slightly more massive common proper motion companion, NLT…
