Long Term Evolution of Surface Features on the Red Supergiant AZ Cyg
Ryan P. Norris, Fabien R. Baron, John D. Monnier +23
We present H-band interferometric observations of the red supergiant (RSG) AZ Cyg made with the Michigan Infra-Red Combiner (MIRC) at the six-telescope Center for High Angular Reso…
Limb Darkening and Planetary Transits II: Intensity profile correction factors for a grid of model stellar atmospheres
Hilding R. Neilson, John B. Lester, Fabien Baron
The ability to observe extrasolar planets transiting their stars has profoundly changed our understanding of these planetary systems. However, these measurements depend on how well…
Stellar atmospheres, atmospheric extension and fundamental parameters: weighing stars using the stellar mass index
Hilding R. Neilson, Fabien Baron, Ryan Norris +2
One of the great challenges in understanding stars is measuring their masses. The best methods for measuring stellar masses include binary interaction, asteroseismology and stellar…
Spherically symmetric model stellar atmospheres and limb darkening II: limb-darkening laws, gravity-darkening coefficients and angular diameter corrections for FGK dwarf stars
Hilding R. Neilson, John B. Lester
Limb darkening is a fundamental ingredient for interpreting observations of planetary transits, eclipsing binaries, optical/infrared interferometry and microlensing events. However…
Spherically-symmetric model stellar atmospheres and limb darkening I: limb-darkening laws, gravity-darkening coefficients and angular diameter corrections for red giant stars
Hilding R. Neilson, John B. Lester
Model stellar atmospheres are fundamental tools for understanding stellar observations from interferometry, microlensing, eclipsing binaries and planetary transits. However, the ca…
Indicators of Mass in Spherical Stellar Atmospheres
John B. Lester, Rayomond Dinshaw, Hilding R. Neilson
Mass is the most important stellar parameter, but it is not directly observable for a single star. Spherical model stellar atmospheres are explicitly characterized by their luminos…
