BSN-VIII: Detailed Photometric Modeling of Ten W UMa Contact Binaries and a Revised Empirical Period-Mass Relationship
Atila Poro, S. Javad Jafarzadeh, Kai Li +15
This study continues our ongoing research on contact binary systems by presenting a detailed analysis of 10 targets. Ground-based observations from six different observatories were…
Status of Women in Astronomy: A need for advancing inclusivity and equal opportunities
Mamta Pandey-Pommier, Arianna Piccialli, Belinda J. Wilkes +12
Women in the Astronomy and STEM fields face systemic inequalities throughout their careers. Raising awareness, supported by detailed statistical data, represents the initial step t…
Discovery of a high-redshift Einstein ring
R. A. Cabanac, D. Valls-Gabaud, A. O. Jaunsen +2
We report the discovery of a partial Einstein ring of radius 1.48arcsec produced by a massive (and seemingly isolated) elliptical galaxy. The spectroscopic follow-up at the VLT rev…
Characterisation of extrasolar planetary transit candidates
J. Gallardo, D. Minniti, D. Valls-Gabaud +1
The detection of transits is an efficient technique to uncover faint companions around stars. The full characterisation of the companions (M-type stars, brown dwarfs or exoplanets)…
The Anomaly in the Candidate Microlensing Event PA-99-N2
AGAPE Collaboration, J. H. An, N. W. Evans +14
The lightcurve of PA-99-N2, one of the recently announced microlensing candidates towards M31, shows small deviations from the standard Paczynski form. We explore a number of possi…
Disentangling discrepancies between stellar evolution theory and sub-solar mass stars. The influence of the mixing length parameter for the UV Psc binary
E. Lastennet, J. Fernandes, D. Valls-Gabaud +1
Serious discrepancies have recently been observed between predictions of stellar evolution models in the 0.7-1.1 M_sun mass range and accurately measured properties of binary stars…
