The Cepheid distance to the maser-host galaxy NGC 4258: Studying systematics with the Large Binocular Telescope
M. M. Fausnaugh, C. S. Kochanek, J. R. Gerke +3
We identify and phase a sample of 81 Cepheids in the maser-host galaxy NGC 4258 using the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), and obtain calibrated mean magnitudes in up to 4 filters…
The Search for Failed Supernovae with The Large Binocular Telescope: First Candidates
J. R. Gerke, C. S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek
We are monitoring 27 galaxies within 10 Mpc using the Large Binocular Telescope to search for failed supernovae (SNe), massive stars that collapse to form a black hole without a SN…
Finding Car Analogs in Nearby Galaxies Using Spitzer: II. Identification of An Emerging Class of Extragalactic Self-Obscured Stars
Rubab Khan, C. S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek +1
Understanding the late-stage evolution of the most massive stars such as Carinae is challenging because no true analogs of Car have been clearly identified in the Milky Way…
