Stellar activity in a post-merger Giant star
Hans Moritz GGunther, Hans Moritz Günther, C. Melis +4
Binary stars are the progenitors of exotic objects, such as supernovae and gravitational wave sources. However, some systems merge earlier when the primary expands into a giant sta…
Orbital and Physical Properties of the Pleiades Binary 27 Tau (Atlas)
G. Torres, A. Tkachenko, K. Pavlovski +12
We report new spectroscopic and interferometric observations of the Pleiades binary star Atlas, which played an important role nearly three decades ago in settling the debate over…
Ultraviolet variability in Solar-type members of the M67 open cluster
Carl Melis, Ekamjot Kaire
Solar-type members of the rich, nearly Solar-age and Solar-metallicity M67 open cluster are systematically investigated for ultraviolet variability. We utilize archival Galaxy Evol…
OGLE-2002-BLG-360: a dusty anomaly among red nova remnants
T. Steinmetz, T. Kamiński, C. Melis +4
OGLE-2002-BLG-360 is an example of a Galactic red nova, the aftermath of a non-compact stellar merger. The dusty nature of the circumstellar environment makes observations of this…
Vertical Structure of Gas and Dust in Four Debris Disks
Kadin Worthen, Christine H. Chen, Sean Brittain +8
We present high-spectral resolution M-band spectra from iSHELL on NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) along the line of sight to the debris disk host star HD 32297. We also p…
Luhman 16AB: A Remarkable, Variable L/T Transition Binary 2 pc from the Sun
A. J. Burgasser, J. Faherty, Y. Beletsky +12
Luhman (2013) has reported the discovery of a brown dwarf binary system only 2.01+/-0.15 pc from the Sun. The binary is well-resolved with a projected separation of 1.5", and spect…
