SN~2018aoz is a Type Ia SN with a -band plateau and excess emission in the infant-phase light curves 1 day after first light, evidencing an over-density of surface ir…
Tidal Heating of Exomoons in Resonance and Implications for Detection
Armen Tokadjian, Anthony L. Piro
The habitability of exoplanets can be strongly influenced by the presence of an exomoon, and in some cases the exomoon itself could be a possible place for life to develop. For moo…
A Speed Bump: SN 2021aefx Shows that Doppler Shift Alone can Explain Early-Excess Blue Flux in Some Type Ia Supernovae
C. Ashall, J. Lu, B. J. Shappee +17
We present early-time photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) 2021aefx. The early time u-band light curve shows an excess flux when compared to…
Hydrodynamics of Collisions and Close Encounters between Stellar Black Holes and Main-sequence Stars
Kyle Kremer, James C. Lombardi, Wenbin Lu +2
Recent analyses have shown that close encounters between stars and stellar black holes occur frequently in dense star clusters. Depending upon the distance at closest approach, the…
