The Luminosity Function of Red Supergiants in M31
Kathryn F. Neugent, Philip Massey, Cyril Georgy +5
The mass-loss rates of red supergiant stars (RSGs) are poorly constrained by direct measurements, and yet the subsequent evolution of these stars depends critically on how much mas…
Key Challenges for AAS Journals in the Next Decade
Emily M. Levesque, Lisa Prato, Christopher Sneden +6
The American Astronomical Society (AAS) Journals are a vital asset of our professional society. With the push towards open access, page charges are a viable and sustainable option…
The First Candidate Colliding-Wind Binary in M33
Kristen Garofali, Emily M. Levesque, Philip Massey +1
We present the detection of the first candidate colliding-wind binary (CWB) in M33, located in the giant H II region NGC 604. The source was first identified in archival {\it Chand…
The Discovery of QSOs Behind M31 and M33
Philip Massey, Kathryn F. Neugent, Emily M. Levesque
We report the discovery of 11 newly found quasars behind the stellar disks of the spiral galaxies M31 and M33 in the fields covered by the Local Group Galaxy Survey. Their redshift…
Binary Red Supergiants II: Discovering and Characterizing B-type Companions
Kathryn F. Neugent, Emily M. Levesque, Philip Massey +1
The percentage of massive main sequence OB stars in binary systems is thought to be as high as 100%. However, very few Galactic binary red supergiants (RSGs) have been identified,…
Multi-Messenger Astronomy with Extremely Large Telescopes
Ryan Chornock, Philip S. Cowperthwaite, Raffaella Margutti +82
The field of time-domain astrophysics has entered the era of Multi-messenger Astronomy (MMA). One key science goal for the next decade (and beyond) will be to characterize gravitat…
