The Globular Cluster System of NGC 6822
J. Veljanoski, A. M. N. Ferguson, A. D. Mackey +11
We present a comprehensive analysis of the globular cluster (GC) system of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. Our study is based on homogeneous optical and near-IR ph…
The fastest unbound star in our Galaxy ejected by a thermonuclear supernova
S. Geier, F. Fürst, E. Ziegerer +17
Hypervelocity stars (HVS) travel with velocities so high, that they exceed the escape velocity of the Galaxy. Several acceleration mechanisms have been discussed. Only one HVS (US…
Machine learning for transient discovery in Pan-STARRS1 difference imaging
D. E. Wright, S. J. Smartt, K. W. Smith +15
Efficient identification and follow-up of astronomical transients is hindered by the need for humans to manually select promising candidates from data streams that contain many fal…
A Periodically Varying Luminous Quasar at z=2 from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey: A Candidate Supermassive Black Hole Binary in the Gravitational Wave-Driven Regime
Tingting Liu, Suvi Gezari, Sebastien Heinis +11
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) should be an inevitable consequence of the hierarchical growth of massive galaxies through mergers, and the strongest sirens of gravitatio…
Properties of M31. V: 298 Eclipsing Binaries from PAndromeda
C. -H. Lee, J. Koppenhoefer, S. Seitz +12
The goal of this work is to conduct a photometric study of eclipsing binaries in M31. We apply a modified box-fitting algorithm to search for eclipsing binary candidates and determ…
Zooming In on the Progenitors of Superluminous Supernovae With the HST
R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +25
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) rest-frame ultraviolet imaging of the host galaxies of 16 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), including 11 events from the Pan-S…
