Stars stably accreting from substellar objects
Aaron Householder, Kaitlyn Shin, Kevin B. Burdge +11
Substellar objects such as brown dwarfs and planets are generally expected to remain detached from their main-sequence host stars unless orbital decay or stellar expansion brings t…
A gravitational wave detectable candidate Type Ia supernova progenitor
Emma T. Chickles, Kevin B. Burdge, Joheen Chakraborty +37
Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evide…
EPIC 220204960: A Quadruple Star System Containing Two Strongly Interacting Eclipsing Binaries
S. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg, T. Borkovits +15
We present a strongly interacting quadruple system associated with the K2 target EPIC 220204960. The K2 target itself is a Kp = 12.7 magnitude star at Teff ~ 6100 K which we design…
M-Dwarf Fast Rotators and the Detection of Relatively Young Multiple M-Star Systems
S. Rappaport, J. Swift, A. Levine +9
We have searched the Kepler light curves of ~3900 M-star targets for evidence of periodicities that indicate, by means of the effects of starspots, rapid stellar rotation. Several…
