High-resolution spectroscopy of the bipolar proto-planetary nebula Hen 3-1475, the Garden Sprinkler Nebula

Ana Valeria Beltrán-Sánchez, Miriam Peña, Mudumba Parthasarathy

A detailed analysis of high-resolution spectra in the optical and near-infrared range of the central zone of the proto-planetary nebula Hen 3-1475, obtained in 2006 and 2024, is co…

Seventeen 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) hypervelocity stars (HVS) from Gaia DR3

Parthasarathy Mudumba

As part of an ongoing search for hypervelocity stars (HVS) I found seventeen two micron all sky survey (2MASS) sources with Gaia G magnitudes less than 16.0 and radial velocities l…

K-band spectra of selected post-AGB candidates

M. Parthasarathy, C. Muthumariappan, S. Muneer

We present medium resolution (1000) K-band spectra of 12 post-AGB candidates and related stars. For several objects in our sample, these spectra were obtained for the first time. T…

Infrared properties of Planetary Nebulae with [WR] and central stars

C. Muthumariappan, M. Parthasarathy

We report the IR properties of planetary nebulae with WR type and central stars known to date and compare them with the IR properties of a sample of PNe with H-rich central…

The puzzling high velocity G5 supergiant star HD 179821 : new insight from Gaia DR2 data

M. Parthasarathy, G. Jasniewicz, F. Thévenin

HD 179821 is classified as G5 Ia star. From the IRAS colors and spectral energy distributions it was classified as a post-AGB star. But some studies classify it as a massive (30 to…

Low resolution spectroscopy of selected Algol systems

D. Shanti Priya, J. Rukmini, M. Parthasarathy +4

The analysis of spectroscopic data for 30 Algol-type binaries is presented. All these systems are short period Algols having primaries with spectral types B and A. Dominant spectra…

SPIRITS: Uncovering Unusual Infrared Transients With Spitzer

Mansi M. Kasliwal, John Bally, Frank Masci +44

We present an ongoing, systematic search for extragalactic infrared transients, dubbed SPIRITS --- SPitzer InfraRed Intensive Transients Survey. In the first year, using Spitzer/IR…

New determination of abundances and stellar parameters for a set of weak G-band stars

A. Palacios, G. Jasniewicz, T. Masseron +3

Weak G-band (wGb) stars are very peculiar red giants almost devoided of carbon and often mildly enriched in lithium. Despite their very puzzling abundance patterns, very few detail…

An Excess of Mid-Infrared Emission from the Type Iax SN 2014dt

Ori D. Fox, Joel Johansson, Mansi Kasliwal +12

Supernovae Type Iax (SNe Iax) are less energetic and less luminous than typical thermonuclear explosions. A suggested explanation for the observed characteristics of this subclass…

Line Identifications of Type I Supernovae: On the Detection of Si II for these Hydrogen-poor Events

J. T. Parrent, D. Milisavljevic, A. M. Soderberg +1

Here we revisit line identifications of type I supernovae and highlight trace amounts of unburned hydrogen as an important free parameter for the composition of the progenitor. Mos…

Birth and early evolution of a planetary nebula

M. Bobrowsky, K. C. Sahu, M. Parthasarathy +1

The final expulsion of gas by a star as it forms a planetary nebula --- the ionized shell of gas often observed surrounding a young white dwarf --- is one of the most poorly unders…
