Chroma+GAS: An Expedited Solution for the Chemical Equilibrium for Cool Stellar Atmospheres
C. Ian Short, Philip D. Bennett
We describe a unique approach to economizing the solution to the general chemical equilibrium and equation-of-state problem for late-type stars, including diatomic and polyatomic m…
A Python Code to Determine Orbital Parameters of Spectroscopic Binaries
Nicholas Milson, Caroline Barton, Philip D. Bennett
We present the open source Python code BinaryStarSolver that solves for the orbital elements of a spectroscopic binary system. Given a time-series of radial velocity measurements,…
IAU 2015 Resolution B3 on Recommended Nominal Conversion Constants for Selected Solar and Planetary Properties
E. E. Mamajek, A. Prsa, G. Torres +19
Astronomers commonly quote the properties of celestial objects in units of parameters for the Sun, Jupiter, or the Earth. The resolution presented here was proposed by the IAU Inte…
IAU 2015 Resolution B2 on Recommended Zero Points for the Absolute and Apparent Bolometric Magnitude Scales
E. E. Mamajek, G. Torres, A. Prsa +19
The XXIXth IAU General Assembly in Honolulu adopted IAU 2015 Resolution B2 on recommended zero points for the absolute and apparent bolometric magnitude scales. The resolution was…
Spectral and photometric analysis of the eclipsing binary epsilon Aurigae prior to and during the 2009-2011 eclipse
Pavel Chadima, Petr Harmanec, Philip D. Bennett +12
A series of 353 red electronic spectra obtained between 1994 and 2010, and of 171 UBV photometric observations of the 2010 eclipse, were analyzed in an effort to better understand…
Spectral Type and Radial Velocity Variations in Three SRC Variables
Kathleen E. Moncrieff, David G. Turner, C. Ian Short +3
SRC variables are M supergiants, precursors to Type II supernovae, that vary in brightness with moderately regular periods of order 100-1000 days. Although identified as pulsating…
Chromospheres and Winds of Red Supergiants: An Empirical Look at Outer Atmospheric Structure
Philip D. Bennett
Stars between about 4 and 25 solar masses spend a significant fraction of their post-main sequence lifetime as red supergiants (RSGs) and lose material via stellar winds during thi…
