The fifth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) includes the first large-scale spectroscopic survey of white dwarfs (WDs) in the era of Gaia parallaxes. SDSS-V collects mult…
A nearly pristine star from the Large Magellanic Cloud
Alexander P. Ji, Vedant Chandra, Selenna Mejias-Torres +28
The first stars formed out of pristine gas, causing them to be so massive that none are expected to have survived until today. If their direct descendants were sufficiently low-mas…
X-ray selected broad absorption line quasars in SDSS-V: BALs and non-BALs span the same range of X-ray properties
Pranavi Hiremath, Amy L. Rankine, James Aird +10
Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars are often considered X-ray weak relative to their optical/UV luminosity, whether intrinsically (i.e., the coronal emission is fainter) or due to…
