Discovery of two neighboring satellites in the Carina constellation with MagLiteS
G. Torrealba, V. Belokurov, S. E. Koposov +23
We report the discovery of two ultra-faint satellites in the vicinity of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in data from the Magellanic Satellites Survey (MagLiteS). Situated 18$^{\c…
The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852
Tabetha S. Boyajian, Roi Alonso, Alex Ammerman +203
We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May. Our regular photometr…
A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1308
The detection of GW170817 in both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves heralds the age of gravitational-wave multi-messenger astronomy. On 17 August 2017 the Advanced LIGO…
Uncovering Extremely Metal-Poor Stars in the Milky Way's Ultra-Faint Dwarf Spheroidal Satellite Galaxies
Evan N. Kirby, Joshua D. Simon, Marla Geha +2
We present new metallicity measurements for 298 individual red giant branch stars in eight of the least luminous dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) in the Milky Way (MW) system. Our…
Constraints on Circumstellar Material Around the Type Ia Supernova 2007af
Joshua D. Simon, Avishay Gal-Yam, Bryan E. Penprase +9
Patat et al. recently inferred the existence of circumstellar material around a normal Type Ia supernova (SN) for the first time, finding time-variable Na I D absorption lines in t…
Self-consistent massive disks in triaxial dark matter halos
Jeremy Bailin, Josh D. Simon, Alberto D. Bolatto +2
Galactic disks in triaxial dark matter halos become deformed by the elliptical potential in the plane of the disk in such a way as to counteract the halo ellipticity. We develop a…
