A Spatially Resolved Study of the GRB 020903 Host Galaxy
Mallory Thorp, Emily Levesque
GRB 020903 is a long-duration gamma ray burst (LGRB) with a host galaxy close enough and extended enough for spatially-resolved observations, making it one of less than a dozen GRB…
The Evolution of Massive Stars: Bridging the Gap in the Local Group
Philip Massey, Kathryn F. Neugent, Emily M. Levesque
The nearby galaxies of the Local Group can act as our laboratories in helping to bridge the gap between theory and observations. In this review we will describe the complications o…
A Mote in Andromeda's Disk: a Misidentified Periodic AGN Behind M31
Trevor Dorn-Wallenstein, Emily M. Levesque, John J. Ruan
We identify an object previously thought to be a star in the disk of M31, J0045+41, as a background AGN seen through a low-absorption region of M31. We present mode…
The Red Supergiant Content of the Local Group
Philip Massey, Emily Levesque, Kathryn Neugent +3
We summarize here recent work in identifying and characterizing red supergiants (RSGs) in the galaxies of the Local Group.
There Are (super)Giants in the Sky: Searching for Misidentified Massive Stars in Algorithmically-Selected Quasar Catalogs
Trevor Dorn-Wallenstein, Emily Levesque
Thanks to incredible advances in instrumentation, surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey have been able to find and catalog billions of objects, ranging from local M dwarfs to d…
SPIRITS: Uncovering Unusual Infrared Transients With Spitzer
Mansi M. Kasliwal, John Bally, Frank Masci +44
We present an ongoing, systematic search for extragalactic infrared transients, dubbed SPIRITS --- SPitzer InfraRed Intensive Transients Survey. In the first year, using Spitzer/IR…
