[N I] 10400/10410 Å Lines as Possible Disk Wind Tracers in a Young Intermediate-Mass Star
Haruki Katoh, Chikako Yasui, Yuji Ikeda +10
In this study, we performed high-resolution near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (R = 28,000; -1.35 m) with a high signal-to-noise ratio on HD 200775, a very young (${\sim…
A High-Resolution Non-Detection of Escaping Helium In The Ultra-Hot Neptune LTT 9779b: Evidence for Weakened Evaporation
Shreyas Vissapragada, Patrick McCreery, Leonardo A. Dos Santos +16
The recent discovery of ``ultra-hot'' ( day) Neptunes has come as a surprise: some of these planets have managed to retain gaseous envelopes despite being close enough to th…
WARP: The Data Reduction Pipeline for the WINERED spectrograph
Satoshi Hamano, Yuji Ikeda, Shogo Otsubo +8
We present a data reduction pipeline written in Python for data obtained with the near-infrared cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph, WINERED, which yields a 0.911.35 m spect…
The globular cluster VVV CL002 falling down to the hazardous Galactic centre
D. Minniti, N. Matsunaga, J. G. Fernandez-Trincado +15
Context. The Galactic centre is hazardous for stellar clusters because of the strong tidal force. Supposedly, many clusters were destroyed and contributed stars to the crowded stel…
Metallicities of Classical Cepheids in the Inner Galactic Disk
N. Matsunaga, D. Taniguchi, S. S. Elgueta +14
Metallicity gradients refer to the sloped radial profile of metallicities of gas and stars and are commonly seen in disk galaxies. A well-defined metallicity gradient of the Galact…
