Improving white dwarfs as chronometers with Gaia parallaxes and spectroscopic metallicities

Adam Moss, Ted von Hippel, Elliot Robinson +9

White dwarfs (WDs) offer unrealized potential in solving two problems in astrophysics: stellar age accuracy and precision. WD cooling ages can be inferred from surface temperatures…

The pulsating white dwarf G117-B15A: still the most stable optical clock known

S. O. Kepler, D. E. Winget, Zachary P. Vanderbosch +14

The pulsating hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf star G 117-B15A has been observed since 1974. Its main pulsation period at 215.19738823(63) s, observed in optical light curves, varie…

Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling of Initial-Final Mass Relations Across Star Clusters

Shijing Si, Ted von Hippel, Elliot Robinson +3

The initial-final mass relation (IFMR) of white dwarfs (WDs) plays an important role in stellar evolution. To derive precise estimates of IFMRs and explore how they may vary among…

The KELT Follow-Up Network and Transit False Positive Catalog: Pre-vetted False Positives for TESS

Karen A. Collins, Kevin I. Collins, Joshua Pepper +108

The Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) project has been conducting a photometric survey for transiting planets orbiting bright stars for over ten years. The KELT images h…

Little Bear's Pulsating Stars: Variable Star Census of dSph UMi Galaxy

K. Kinemuchi, E. Jeffery, C. Kuehn +2

Recent observations and a photometric search for variable stars in the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy (UMi dSph) are presented. Our observations were taken at Apache Point Obse…

The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters XIV: Bayesian Single-Population Analysis of 69 Globular Clusters

R. Wagner-Kaiser, A. Sarajedini, T. von Hippel +7

We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging from the ACS Treasury Survey to determine fits for single population isochrones of 69 Galactic globular clusters. Using robust Bayesian…
