Stellar Paternity Tests: Matching High-Latitude B Stars to the Open Clusters of their Birth
Brandon Schweers, M. Virginia McSwain
OB stars generally form in open clusters within the Milky Way's thin disk, so when they are found at high Galactic latitudes, it is thought that they were ejected from their birth…
Modeling the Photometric Variability of Alpha CVn with a Dynamical Magnetosphere
Cameron M. Pfeffer, M. Virginia McSwain
Alpha Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) is a strongly magnetic star with peculiar chemical signatures and periodic variability that have been long attributed to the diffusion of magne…
Long-Period High-Amplitude Red Variables in the KELT Survey
R. Alex Arnold, M. Virginia McSwain, Joshua Pepper +8
We present a sample of 4,132 Mira-like variables (red variables with long periods and high amplitudes) in the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) survey. Of these, 814 are…
Infrastructure and Strategies for Time Domain and MMA and Follow-Up
B. W. Miller, L. Allen, E. Bellm +28
Time domain and multi-messenger astrophysics are growing and important modes of observational astronomy that will help define astrophysics in the 2020s. Significant effort is being…
Stellar Parameters for Pulsating B Star Candidates in the Kepler Field
Richard J. Hanes, Steven Waskie, Jonathan M. Labadie-Bartz +3
The field of asteroseismology has enjoyed a large swath of data coming from recent missions (e.g., CoRoT, Kepler, K2). This wealth of new data has allowed the field to expand beyon…
Stellar Parameters and Radial Velocities of Hot Stars in the Carina Nebula
Richard J. Hanes, M. Virginia McSwain, Matthew S. Povich
The Carina Nebula is an active star forming region in the southern sky that is of particular interest due to the presence of a large number of massive stars in a wide array of evol…
