AT 2016blu: Accretion-Powered Outbursts in a Luminous Blue Variable and Compact Object Binary
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Núria Torres-Albà, Nathan Smith +33
We present the first X-ray detection of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu in NGC 4559. AT 2016blu exhibited 27 detected quasiperiodic (~113 day) outbursts between 2012 and Jun…
A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes - XI. Spot Lifetimes and Coverage Distributions
Dirk Froebrich, Carys Herbert, Aleks Scholz +47
We present a homogeneous analysis of rotational variability and spot properties in young stellar objects across multiple star-forming regions observed by the Hunting Outbursting Yo…
Is the Symbiotic Recurrent Nova T CrB Late? Recent Photometric Evolution and Comparison with Past Pre-Outburst Behaviour
Jaroslav Merc, Łukasz Wyrzykowski, Paul G. Beck +46
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova that last erupted in 1946. Given its recurrence timescale of approximately 80 years, the next outburst is eagerly anticipated by the astronomica…
A survey for variable stars with small telescopes: IX -- Evolution of Spot Properties on YSOs in IC5070
Carys Herbert, Dirk Froebrich, Siegfried Vanaverbeke +45
We present spot properties on 32 periodic young stellar objects in IC 5070. Long term, 5 yr, light curves in the , , and -bands are obtained through the HOYS (Huntin…
A survey for variable young stars with small telescopes: VIII -- Properties of 1687 Gaia selected members in 21 nearby clusters
Dirk Froebrich, Aleks Scholz, Justyn Campbell-White +60
The Hunting Outbursting Young Stars (HOYS) project performs long-term, optical, multi-filter, high cadence monitoring of 25 nearby young clusters and star forming regions. Utilisin…
CARMENES input catalog of M dwarfs: VII. New rotation periods for the survey stars and their correlations with stellar activity
Yutong Shan, Daniel Revilla, Sebastian L. Skrzypinski +40
Abridged: We measured photometric and spectroscopic for a large sample of nearby bright M dwarfs with spectral types from M0 to M9, as part of our continual effort to…
TESS photometry of the nova eruption in V606 Vul: asymmetric photosphere and multiple ejections?
Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Elias Aydi, Konstantin Malanchev +70
Lightcurves of many classical novae deviate from the canonical "fast rise - smooth decline" pattern and display complex variability behavior. We present the first TESS-space-photom…
