Constraints on White Dwarf Hydrogen Layer Masses Using Gravitational Redshifts
Stefan M. Arseneau, J. J. Hermes, Maria E. Camisassa +2
The hydrogen envelope is the outermost layer of a DA white dwarf; it makes up the entirety of the stellar photosphere, and yet its typical extent is difficult to model theoreticall…

Stellar physics at sub-nanoradian angular resolution
P. Batista, J. Biteau, C. Carlile +36
Many stars -- if they could be imaged with enough angular resolution -- would exhibit features expected from theory but not possible to extract from spectra. We may group these by…

ASASSN-24fw: An 8-month long, 4.1 mag, optically achromatic and polarized dimming event
R. Forés-Toribio, B. JoHantgen, C. S. Kochanek +20
We discuss ASASSN-24fw, a 13th-magnitude star that optically faded by mag starting in September 2024 after over a decade of quiescence in ASAS-SN. The dimmimg…
