ID-MAGE II: The Star Forming Satellites of Low-Mass Hosts
Laura Congreve Hunter, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Michael B. Farnell +14
We present results from our ongoing campaign to follow up the satellite candidates from the Identifying Dwarfs of MC Analog GalaxiEs (ID-MAGE) survey. Previously, we published a li…
An Orbit for a Massive Wolf-Rayet Binary in the LMC: An Example of Binary Evolution
Breelyn Cocke, Philip Massey, Nidia I. Morrell +6
Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are helium-burning, evolved massive stars which have had most of their hydrogen-rich outer layers removed either through stellar winds and/or binary stripping…
Deep Photometric Observations of Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites Centaurus I and Eridanus IV
Quinn O. Casey, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, David J. Sand +19
We present deep MagellanMegacam imaging of Centaurus I (Cen I) and Eridanus IV (Eri IV), two recently discovered Milky Way ultra-faint satellites. Our data reach magni…
The Discovery of Three Galactic Wolf-Rayet Stars
Laurella C. Marin, Philip Massey, Brian A. Skiff +1
Wolf-Rayet stars (WRs) are evolved massive stars in the brief stage before they undergo core collapse. Not only are they rare, but they also can be particularly difficult to find d…
