The Roasting Marshmallows Program with IGRINS on Gemini South V: Atmosphere of MASCARA-1b is Enriched in Refractory Elements

Krishna Kanumalla, Michael R. Line, Martina Chiarella +75

Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs; K) enable simultaneous detection of volatile (ice-forming) and refractory (rock-forming) species in planetary atmospheres, provi…

The Actinide-Boost Star LAMOST J122216.85-063345.2: A Detailed R-process Abundance Study with Gemini-S/GHOST

Miji Jeong, Young Sun Lee, Vinicius M. Placco +15

We present a detailed chemical-abundance analysis of an actinide-boost ((Th/Dy) = -0.74) star, LAMOST J122216.85-063345.2 (J1222), a very metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -2.45) halo s…

Optical/infrared observations of the extraordinary GRB 250702B: a highly obscured afterglow in a massive galaxy consistent with multiple possible progenitors

Jonathan Carney, Igor Andreoni, Brendan O'Connor +31

GRB 250702B was the longest gamma-ray burst ever detected, with a duration that challenges standard collapsar models and suggests an exotic progenitor. We collected a rich set of o…
