Traces of Helium Detected in Type Ic Supernova 2014L
Jing Lu, Wolfgang E. Kerzendorf, John T. O'Brien +6
The absence of helium features in optical spectra is one of the classification criteria for Type Ic supernovae (SNe Ic). However, it is highly debated whether helium is truly absen…
Practical Author Name Disambiguation under Metadata Constraints: A Contrastive Learning Approach for Astronomy Literature
Vicente Amado Olivo, Wolfgang Kerzendorf, Bangjing Lu +3
The ability to distinctly and properly collate an individual researcher's publications is crucial for ensuring appropriate recognition, guiding the allocation of research funding a…
Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) II: Super-Jupiters and Lithium-rich Host Stars
Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +30
Although hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets discovered orbiting main sequence stars, the dominant mechanisms through which they form and evolve are not known. To address the qu…
Introducing STARDIS: An Open and Modular Stellar Spectral Synthesis Code
Joshua V. Shields, Wolfgang Kerzendorf, Isaac G. Smith +7
We introduce a new 1D stellar spectral synthesis Python code called stardis. stardis is a modular, open-source radiative transfer code that is capable of spectral synthesis from ne…
Physics-driven Explosions of Stripped High-Mass Stars: Synthetic Light Curves and Spectra of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae with Broad Lightcurves
Jing Lu, Brandon L. Barker, Jared Goldberg +5
Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) represent a significant fraction of core-collapse supernovae, arising from massive stars that have shed their hydrogen and, in some cases, heli…
