Large Variations Seen in First Ultraviolet Spectroscopic M33 Dust Extinction Curves

Karl D. Gordon, Petia Yanchulova Merica-Jones, Geoffrey C. Clayton +4

Dust extinction curves provide one of the main avenues to understanding the detailed nature of dust grains and accounting for the effects of dust on observations of many astrophysi…

Nature or Nurture: LMC-like Dust in the Solar Metallicity Galaxy M31

Geoffrey C. Clayton, Petia Yanchulova Merica-Jones, Karl D. Gordon +6

Using the {\it Hubble Space Telescope}/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, ultraviolet (UV) extinction curves have been measured in M31 along thirteen new sightlines, increasing…

DAmodel: Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling of DA White Dwarfs for Spectrophotometric Calibration

Benjamin M. Boyd, Gautham Narayan, Kaisey S. Mandel +17

We use hierarchical Bayesian modelling to calibrate a network of 32 all-sky faint DA white dwarf (DA WD) spectrophotometric standards () alongside three CALSPEC st…

Faint white dwarf flux standards: data and models

Ralph C. Bohlin, Susana Deustua, Gautham Narayan +7

Fainter standard stars are essential for the calibration of larger telescopes. This work adds to the CALSPEC (calibration spectra) database 19 faint white dwarfs (WDs) with all-sky…

Revealing the elusive companion of the red giant binary 2MASSJ05215658+4359220 from UV HST and Astrosat-UVIT data

Luciana Bianchi, John Hutchings, Ralph Bohlin +2

Black hole demographics in different environments is critical in view of recent results on massive-stars binarity, and of the multi-messenger detectability of compact objects merge…

The James Webb Space Telescope Absolute Flux Calibration. II. Mid-Infrared Instrument Imaging and Coronagraphy

Karl D. Gordon, G. C. Sloan, Macarena Garcia Marin +11

The absolute flux calibration of the Mid-Infrared Instrument Imaging and Coronagraphy is based on observations of multiple stars taken during the first 2.5 years of JWST operations…

The updated BOSZ synthetic stellar spectral library

Szabolcs Mészáros, Ralph Bohlin, Carlos Allende Prieto +9

Context. The modeling of stellar spectra of flux standards observed by the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes requires a large synthetic spectral library that covers a wide atm…

Expanded Sample of Small Magellanic Cloud Ultraviolet Dust Extinction Curves: Correlations between the 2175 A bump, q_pah, UV extinction shape, and N(HI)/A(V)

Karl D. Gordon, E. L. Fitzpatrick, Derck Massa +7

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) shows a large variation in ultraviolet (UV) dust extinction curves, ranging from Milky Way-like (MW) to significantly steeper curves with no detect…

Hubble spectroscopy of LB-1: comparison with B+black-hole and Be+stripped-star models

D. J. Lennon, J. Maíz Apellániz, A. Irrgang +10

LB-1 has variously been proposed as either an X-ray dim B-type star plus black hole (B+BH) binary, or a Be star plus an inflated stripped star (Be+Bstr) binary. The Space Telescope…

Hubble Space Telescope Observations of BALQSO Ton 34 Reveal a Connection between the Broad Line Region and the BAL Outflow

Y. Krongold, L. Binette, R. Bohlin +7

Ton 34 recently transitioned from non-absorbing quasar into a BALQSO.Here, we report new HST-STIS observations of this quasar. Along with CIV absorption, we also detect absorption…

The virtual observatory service TheoSSA: Establishing a database of synthetic stellar flux standards. I. NLTE spectral analysis of the DA-type white dwarf G 191-B2B

T. Rauch, R. Bohlin, J. W. Kruk +1

H-rich, DA-type white dwarfs are particularly suited as primary standard stars for flux calibration. State-of-the-art NLTE models consider opacities of species up to trans-iron ele…

HST Spectrophotometry and Models for Solar Analogs

R. C. Bohlin

Absolute flux distributions for seven solar analog stars are measured from 0.3 to 2.5 μm by HST spectrophotometry.In order to predict the longer wavelength mid-IR fluxes that are r…
