The contribution of the color space in LSST-like photometry for the selection of extragalactic globular cluster candidates
Nicholas Schweder-Souza, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Rafael S. de Souza +16
Globular clusters (GCs) are excellent tracers of their host galaxies' evolutionary histories. Traditional methods for identifying GCs in galaxies rely on cuts over photometric cata…
Exploring LSST's capabilities for early detection of outbursts in low-mass X-ray binaries
Susmita Sett, Arash Bahramian, Kristen Dage +2
Following long periods of quiescence, low-mass X-ray binaries can exhibit intense X-ray outbursts triggered by instabilities within the accretion disk. These outbursts can sometime…
The Secret Lives of Open Clusters: a Multiwavelength Examination of Three Open Clusters
Kristen C. Dage, Emily L. Hunt, Jasmine Anderson-Baldwin +11
Star clusters are well known for their dynamical interactions, an outcome of their high stellar densities; in this paper we use multiwavelength observations to search for the uniqu…
AT2022zod: An Unusual Tidal Disruption Event in an Elliptical Galaxy at Redshift 0.11
Kristen C. Dage, Phelipe Darc, Thallis Pessi +16
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) have long been hypothesized as valuable indicators of black holes, offering insight into their demographics and behaviour out to high redshift. TDEs…
No evidence for accretion around the intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri
Angiraben D. Mahida, Arash Bahramian, James C. A. Miller Jones +5
For over a decade, both theoretical predictions and observational studies have suggested that Centauri ( Cen), the most massive Milky Way globular cluster, might harbor an…
Observational Astrophysics Research through Cross Institutional Research Partnerships
Kristen C. Dage, Linda Strubbe, Rhianna Taub +16
Undergraduate research in STEM can be a transformative experience, especially for Community College students, many of whom come from under-represented backgrounds. However, undergr…
