Modeling R Coronae Borealis Stars: Effects of He-Burning Shell Temperature and Metallicity
Courtney L. Crawford, Geoffrey C. Clayton, Bradley Munson +2
The R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars are extremely hydrogen-deficient carbon stars which produce large amounts of dust, causing sudden deep declines in brightness. They are believed…
Is Betelgeuse the Outcome of a Past Merger?
E. Chatzopoulos, Juhan Frank, Dominic C. Marcello +1
We explore the possibility that the star alpha Orionis (Betelgeuse) is the outcome of a merger that occurred in a low mass ratio (q = M2/M1 = 0.07 - 0.25) binary system some time i…
SN 2010kd: Photometric and Spectroscopic Analysis of a Slow-Decaying Superluminous Supernova
Amit Kumar, Shashi Bhushan Pandey, Reka Konyves-Toth +21
This paper presents data and analysis of SN 2010kd, a low-redshift () H-deficient superluminous supernova (SLSN), based on ultraviolet/optical photometry and optical spe…
