Discovery of Variability of the Progenitor of SN 2011dh in M51 Using the Large Binocular Telescope
D. M. Szczygieł, J. R. Gerke, C. S. Kochanek +1
We show that the candidate progenitor of the core-collapse SN 2011dh in M51 (8 Mpc away) was fading by 0.039 +- 0.006 mag/year during the three years prior to the supernova, and th…
A Near-Infrared Survey of the Inner Galactic Plane for Wolf-Rayet Stars II. Going Fainter: 71 More New WR Stars
Michael M. Shara, Jacqueline K. Faherty, David Zurek +5
We are continuing a J, K and narrow-band imaging survey of 300 square degrees of the plane of the Galaxy, searching for new Wolf-Rayet stars. Our survey spans 150 degrees in Galact…
A Study of Cepheids in M81 with the Large Binocular Telescope (Efficiently Calibrated with HST)
J. R. Gerke, C. S. Kochanek, J. L. Prieto +2
We identify and phase a sample of 107 Cepheids with 10<P/days<100 in M81 using the LBT and calibrate their BVI mean magnitudes with archival HST data. The use of a ground-based tel…
