How precisely can we measure the ages of subgiant and giant stars?

Cheyanne Shariat, Kareem El-Badry, Soumyadeep Bhattacharjee

Precise stellar ages are fundamental to Galactic archaeology. However, obtaining reliable age estimates and uncertainties for field stars has been a long-standing challenge. We tes…

Thermally inflated accretors in post-mass transfer binaries: Abell 35 and its class revisited

Soumyadeep Bhattacharjee, Kareem El-Badry, Jim Fuller +2

A small but growing class of binaries containing hot () white dwarfs (WDs) and rapidly rotating, apparently subgiant companions -- including the proto…

Thick Disks around White Dwarfs viewed 'Edge-off': Effects on Transit Properties and Infrared Excess

Soumyadeep Bhattacharjee

A significant fraction of white dwarfs (WDs) host dust/debris disks formed from the tidal disruption of asteroids and planetesimals. Several studies indicate that the disks can att…

Variability of Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae with the Zwicky Transient Facility. II. Long-Timescale Variables including Wide Binary and Late Thermal Pulse Candidates

Soumyadeep Bhattacharjee, Nicole Reindl, Howard E. Bond +14

In this second paper on our variability survey of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) using ZTF, we report 11 long-timescale variables with variability timescales ranging fr…

Transiting Planetary Debris near the Roche Limit of a White Dwarf on a 4.97hr Orbit -- and its Vanishing

Joseph A. Guidry, Zachary P. Vanderbosch, J. J. Hermes +9

We present the discovery of deep, irregular, periodic transits towards the white dwarf ZTFJ19444557 using follow-up time-series photometry and spectroscopy from Palomar, Kec…

Probing the Neutral Fraction of the Warm Ionized Medium via [NI] 5200

S. R. Kulkarni, S. Noll, W. Kausch +1

Most of the ionized mass in the Milky Way is in the Warm Ionized Medium (WIM) and not in the bright H~II regions. The WIM is traced by dispersion measure and has been extensively s…
