SPIRITS 19q: Dust Production by a Subsolar-metallicity Carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet Star in NGC 2403

Sam Rose, Ryan M. Lau, Jacob E. Jencson +20

We present JWST/NIRSpec IFU observations of SPIRITS 19q, the highly dust-producing carbon-rich (WC) binary candidate located in a subsolar-metallicity region of the nearby spiral g…

A Mass Transferring Brown Dwarf Binary on a 57 Minute Orbit

Samuel Whitebook, Antonio C. Rodriguez, Kevin Burdge +9

Mass transfer in stellar binaries has been well studied in most stellar mass ranges, with the notable exception of ultracool stars and substellar brown dwarfs. We report the discov…

Multi-color characterization of optically invisible FU Orionis-type outbursts: Demonstration and prospects for the WINTER survey

Danielle Frostig, Kishalay De, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +8

Episodic mass accretion is the dominant mechanism for mass assembly in the proto-stellar phase. Although prior optical time-domain searches have allowed detailed studies of individ…

An optical to infrared study of type II SN2024ggi at nebular times

Luc Dessart, Rubina Kotak, Wynn Jacobson-Galan +5

We present 0.3-21mic observations at ~275d and ~400d for Type II supernova (SN) 2024ggi, combining ground-based optical and near-infrared data from the Keck I/II telescopes and spa…

Revealing a main-sequence star that consumed a planet with JWST

Ryan M. Lau, Jacob E. Jencson, Colette Salyk +8

The subluminous red nova (SLRN) ZTF SLRN-2020 is the most compelling direct detection of a planet being consumed by its host star, a scenario known as a planetary engulfment event.…

Assessing the Impact of Binary Systems on Microlensing Using SPISEA and PopSyCLE Population Simulations

Natasha S. Abrams, Jessica R. Lu, Casey Y. Lam +3

Gravitational microlensing provides a unique opportunity to probe the mass distribution of stars, black holes, and other objects in the Milky Way. Population simulations are necess…
