The EBLM project XVI. Moderate spin-orbit misalignment of the low mass eclipsing binary EBLM J0021-16
Becca Spejcher, David V. Martin, Jake Pandina +15
Thousands of tight ( AU) main sequence binaries have been discovered, but it is uncertain how they formed. There is likely too much angular momentum in a collapsing, fragmentin…
The EBLM Project XVIII. 3D Obliquities of Five Low-Mass Eclipsing Binaries
Becca Spejcher, David V. Martin, Jake Pandina +19
A question that continues to perplex astronomers is the formation of tight stellar binaries. There is too much angular momentum in a collapsing and fragmenting protostellar cloud t…
An Investigation into the Variability of Luminous Blue Variable Stars with TESS
Becca Spejcher, Noel D. Richardson, Herbert Pablo +3
Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) are enigmatic, evolved, massive stars. Their variability has been observed to be episodic with large eruptions, along with variations on time-scales…
Visual Orbits of Wolf-Rayet Stars II: The Orbit of the Nitrogen-Rich WR Binary WR 138 measured with the CHARA Array
Amanda Holdsworth, Noel Richardson, Gail H. Schaefer +19
Classical Wolf-Rayet stars are descendants of massive OB-type stars that have lost their hydrogen-rich envelopes, and are in the final stages of stellar evolution, possibly explodi…
