A Galactic intermediate-mass stripped star with a Wolf-Rayet-like wind
Johanna Müller-Horn, Kareem El-Badry, Andreas A. C. Sander +17
Binary interaction in massive stars is expected to produce a large population of intermediate-mass (- M) envelope-stripped stars, yet such objects have remained elusi…
PANTERA. I. Hunting for the Most Metal-Rich Stars in the Solar Neighborhood with High-Resolution Spectroscopy
Serat M. Saad, D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek +4
The paper presents the PANTERA high‑resolution spectroscopic survey of 56 nearby metal‑rich stars, measuring their iron abundances and finding many ultra‑metal‑rich objects while e…
Benchmark Brown Dwarf Systems I: Chemical Abundance Analysis of FGK Stars with Wide-Separation Brown Dwarf Companions Using PEPSI
Caprice L. Phillips, Megan Bedell, Catherine Manea +11
The authors performed a high‑resolution spectroscopic survey of 32 FGK stars that host wide‑separation brown dwarf companions, deriving precise stellar parameters and abundances fo…
Large-scale time-series spectroscopy for stellar ages
David Gruner, Sydney A. Barnes, Ansgar Reiners +16
To date, Galactic Astronomy has largely concerned itself with astrophysical processes, and with the locations, space motions and compositions of objects. Consider, for example, the…
PEPSI Investigation, Retrieval, and Atlas of Numerous Giant Atmospheres (PIRANGA). II. Phase-Resolved Cross-Correlation Transmission Spectroscopy of KELT-20b
Calder Lenhart, Marshall C. Johnson, Ji Wang +5
KELT-20b is a well-studied ( K) ultra hot Jupiter, but its multidimensional atmospheric structure remains unconstrained. We performed high-resolution cross-corr…
PEPSI Investigation, Retrieval, and Atlas of Numerous Giant Atmospheres (PIRANGA). IV. High-Resolution Phased-Resolved Spectroscopy of The Ultra Hot Jupiter KELT-20 b
Victoria Bonidie, Marshall C. Johnson, Ji Wang +7
We present five datasets of high-resolution optical emission spectra of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-20 b with the PEPSI spectrograph. Using a Bayesian retrieval framework, we constr…
