WIYN Open Cluster Study: The Old Open Cluster, NGC 188, and a Re-evaluation of Lithium-Richness Among Red Giants

Qinghui Sun, Constantine P. Deliyannis, Bruce A. Twarog +3

We present WIYN/Hydra spectra of 34 red giant candidate members of NGC 188, which, together with WOCS and Gaia data yield 23 single members, 6 binary members, 4 single nonmembers,…

When Do Stars Go BOOM?

Harvey B. Richer, Roger E. Cohen, Matteo Correnti +10

The maximum mass of a star that can produce a white dwarf (WD) is an important astrophysical quantity. One of the best approaches to establishing this limit is to search for WDs in…

A Fresh Look at AGB stars in Galactic Open Clusters with Gaia: Impact on Stellar Models and the Initial-Final Mass Relation

Paola Marigo, Diego Bossini, Michele Trabucchi +7

Benefiting from the GAIA second and early third releases of photometric and astrometric data we examine the population of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars that appear in the fie…

Intermediate-Mass Stars Become Magnetic White Dwarfs

Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl, Harvey Richer +8

When a star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it either explodes as a supernova or more quiescently becomes a white dwarf, an object about half the mass of our Sun with a radius of about…

Carbon star formation as seen through the non-monotonic initial-final mass relation

Paola Marigo, Jeffrey D. Cummings, Jason Lee Curtis +13

The initial-final mass relation (IFMR) links the birth mass of a star to the mass of the compact remnant left at its death. While the relevance of the IFMR across astrophysics is u…

Exploring the nature and synchronicity of early cluster formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud V: Multiple Populations in ancient Globular Clusters

Christina K. Gilligan, Brian Chaboyer, Jeffrey D. Cummings +9

We examine four ancient Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) globular clusters (GCs) for evidence of multiple stellar populations using the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camer…
