The central engine of GRB 130831A and the energy breakdown of a relativistic explosion
M. De Pasquale, S. R. Oates, J. L. Racusin +37
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous explosions in the universe, yet the nature and physical properties of their energy sources are far from understood. Very important clu…
KELT-10b: The First Transiting Exoplanet from the KELT-South Survey -- A Hot Sub-Jupiter Transiting a V = 10.7 Early G-Star
Rudolf B. Kuhn, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Karen A. Collins +30
We report the discovery of KELT-10b, the first transiting exoplanet discovered using the KELT-South telescope. KELT-10b is a highly inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet transiting a re…
Pluto's atmosphere from stellar occultations in 2012 and 2013
A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, E. Lellouch +42
We analyze two multi-chord stellar occultations by Pluto observed on July 18th, 2012 and May 4th, 2013, and monitored respectively from five and six sites. They provide a total of…
Large Impacts around a Solar Analog Star in the Era of Terrestrial Planet Formation
Huan Y. A. Meng, Kate Y. L. Su, George H. Rieke +6
The final assembly of terrestrial planets occurs via massive collisions, which can launch copious clouds of dust that are warmed by the star and glow in the infrared. We report the…
Planetary Collisions outside the Solar System: Time Domain Characterization of Extreme Debris Disks
Huan Y. A. Meng, Kate Y. L. Su, George H. Rieke +9
Luminous debris disks of warm dust in the terrestrial planet zones around solar-like stars are recently found to vary, indicative of ongoing large-scale collisions of rocky objects…
1FGL J1417.7-4407: A likely gamma-ray bright binary with a massive neutron star and a giant secondary
Jay Strader, Laura Chomiuk, C. C. Cheung +12
We present multiwavelength observations of the persistent Fermi-LAT unidentified gamma-ray source 1FGL J1417.7-4407, showing it is likely to be associated with a newly discovered X…
