Eta Carinae's historical light curve: evidence for cyclic Roche lobe overflow from the primary star
Augusto Damineli, Leonardo A. Almeida, Francisco J. Jablonski +5
The large amount of ground-based photometric measurements of Carinae obtained since 1940 have remained problematic for quantitative modeling due to the blending of flux from th…
Starspot temperature of CoRoT-2 from multiwavelength observations with SPARC4
Adriana Valio, Eder Martioli, Andre O. Kovacs +5
Measuring starspot temperatures is crucial for understanding stellar magnetic activity, as it affects stellar brightness variations, influences exoplanet transit measurements, and…
No evidence of intrinsic linear polarization in Nova Vel 2025 (V572 Vel)
Isabel J. Lima, Marina M. C. Mello, Claudia V. Rodrigues +3
We report on polarimetric observations of V572 Vel (Nova Vel 2025) conducted on June 26th and July 21st, 2025, shortly after its nova eruption was discovered. Our measurements in t…
SPARC4 control system
Denis Bernardes, Orlando Verducci Junior, Francisco Rodrigues +15
SPARC4 is a new astronomical instrument developed entirely by Brazilian institutions, currently installed on the 1.6-m Perkin-Elmer telescope of the Pico dos Dias Observatory. It a…
OGLE-2011-BLG-0265Lb: a Jovian Microlensing Planet Orbiting an M Dwarf
J. Skowron, I. -G. Shin, A. Udalski +121
We report the discovery of a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting an M-dwarf star that gave rise to the microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0265. Such a system is very rare among known planet…
MLS110213:022733+130617: A new eclipsing polar above the period gap
K. M. G. Silva, C. V. Rodrigues, A. S. Oliveira +4
We present new data that confirm MLS110213:022733+130617 as a new eclipsing polar. Some system properties were estimated.
A Galaxy Model from 2MASS Star Counts in the Whole Sky Including the Plane
Priscilla Polido, Francisco Jablonski, Jacques Lépine
We use the star counts model of Ortiz & Lépine (1993) to perform an unprecedented exploration of the most important galactic parameters comparing the predicted counts with the 2MAS…
Microlensing Discovery of a Population of Very Tight, Very Low-mass Binary Brown Dwarfs
J. -Y. Choi, C. Han, A. Udalski +121
Although many models have been proposed, the physical mechanisms responsible for the formation of low-mass brown dwarfs are poorly understood. The multiplicity properties and minim…
MOA-2010-BLG-523: "Failed Planet" = RS CVn Star
A. Gould, J. C. Yee, I. A. Bond +116
The Galactic bulge source MOA-2010-BLG-523S exhibited short-term deviations from a standard microlensing lightcurve near the peak of an Amax ~ 265 high-magnification microlensing e…
The second multiple-planet system discovered by microlensing: OGLE-2012-BLG-0026Lb, c, a pair of jovian planets beyond the snow line
C. Han, A. Udalski, J. -Y. Choi +33
We report the discovery of a planetary system from observation of the high-magnification microlensing event OGLE-2012-BLG-0026. The lensing light curve exhibits a complex central p…
Characterizing Low-Mass Binaries From Observation of Long Time-scale Caustic-crossing Gravitational Microlensing Events
I. -G. Shin, C. Han, J. -Y. Choi +119
Despite astrophysical importance of binary star systems, detections are limited to those located in small ranges of separations, distances, and masses and thus it is necessary to u…
MOA-2011-BLG-293Lb: A test of pure survey microlensing planet detections
J. C. Yee, Y. Shvartzvald, A. Gal-Yam +10
Because of the development of large-format, wide-field cameras, microlensing surveys are now able to monitor millions of stars with sufficient cadence to detect planets. These new…
Characterizing Lenses and Lensed Stars of High-Magnification Single-lens Gravitational Microlensing Events With Lenses Passing Over Source Stars
J. -Y. Choi, I. -G. Shin, S. -Y. Park +148
We present the analysis of the light curves of 9 high-magnification single-lens gravitational microlensing events with lenses passing over source stars, including OGLE-2004-BLG-254…
SPARC4: A Simultaneous Polarimeter and Rapid Camera in 4 Bands
C. V. Rodrigues, F. J. Jablonski, K. Taylor +13
We present the basic concept of a new astronomical instrument: SPARC4 - Simultaneous Polarimeter and Rapid Camera in 4 bands. SPARC4 combines in one instrument: (i) photometric and…
Identification of strong photometric activity in the components of LHS 1070
L. A. Almeida, F. Jablonski, E. Martioli
Activity in low-mass stars is an important ingredient in the evolution of such objects. Fundamental physical properties such as age, rotation, magnetic field are correlated with ac…
