Investigating the Period-Luminosity Relations of delta Scuti Stars: A Pathway to Distance and 3-D Dust Map Inference

Fangzhou Guo, Joshua S. Bloom, Xiaofeng Wang +12

While delta Scuti stars are the most numerous class of kappa-mechanism pulsators in the instability strip, the short periods and small peak-to-peak amplitudes have left them unders…

A Shock Flash Breaking Out of a Dusty Red Supergiant

Gaici Li, Maokai Hu, Wenxiong Li +41

Shock breakout emission is light that arises when a shockwave, generated by core-collapse explosion of a massive star, passes through its outer envelope. Hitherto, the earliest det…
