Unified and consistent structure growth measurements from joint ACT, SPT and \textit{Planck} CMB lensing

Frank J. Qu, Fei Ge, W. L. Kimmy Wu +143

We present the tightest cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing constraints to date on the growth of structure by combining CMB lensing measurements from the Atacama Cosmology Te…

The SAGE-Spec Spitzer Legacy program: The life-cycle of dust and gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Point source classification III

Olivia C. Jones, Paul M. Woods, F. Kemper +16

The Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the {\em Spitzer Space Telescope} observed nearly 800 point sources in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), taking over 1,000 spectra. 197 of these…

The evolved-star dust budget of the Small Magellanic Cloud: the critical role of a few key players

Sundar Srinivasan, Martha L. Boyer, Francisca Kemper +3

The lifecycle of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) is heavily influenced by outflows from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and red supergiant (RSG) stars, a large fraction of whic…

SAGE-Var: An Infrared Survey of Variability in the Magellanic Clouds

D. Riebel, M. L. Boyer, S. Srinivasan +9

We present the first results from the SAGE-Var program, a follow on to the Spitzer legacy program Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE; Meixner, et al. 2006). We obtained…

The LF of TP-AGB stars in the LMC and SMC

Gustavo Bruzual, Stephane Charlot, Rosa Gonzalez Lopezlira +3

We show that Montecarlo simulations of the TP-AGB stellar population in the LMC and SMC galaxies using the CB* models produce LF and color distributions that are in closer agreemen…

The Mass-Loss Return From Evolved Stars to The Large Magellanic Cloud VI: Luminosities and Mass-Loss Rates on Population Scales

D. Riebel, S. Srinivasan, B. Sargent +1

We present results from the first application of the Grid of Red Supergiant and Asymptotic Giant Branch ModelS (GRAMS) model grid to the entire evolved stellar population of the La…

The Dust Budget of the SMC: Are AGB Stars the Primary Dust Source at Low Metallicity?

Martha L. Boyer, S. Srinivasan, D. Riebel +7

We estimate the total dust input from the cool evolved stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), using the 8 micron excess emission as a proxy for the dust-production rate. We fin…

Evidence for Pre-Existing Dust in the Bright Type IIn SN 2010jl

J. E. Andrews, Geoffrey C. Clayton, R. Wesson +11

SN 2010jl was an extremely bright, Type IIn SNe which showed a significant IR excess no later than 90 days after explosion. We have obtained Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 \mum and JHK observ…

Dust and Chemical Abundances of the Sagittarius dwarf Galaxy Planetary Nebula Hen2-436

Masaaki Otsuka, Margaret Meixner, David Riebel +3

We have estimated elemental abundances of the planetary nebula (PN) Hen2-436 in the Sagittarius (Sgr) spheroidal dwarf galaxy using ESO/VLT FORS2, Magellan/MMIRS, and Spitzer/IRS s…

The SAGE-Spec Spitzer Legacy program: The life-cycle of dust and gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Point source classification I

Paul M. Woods, J. M. Oliveira, F. Kemper +55

We present the classification of 197 point sources observed with the Infrared Spectrograph in the SAGE-Spec Legacy program on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We introduce a decision-t…

Infrared Period-Luminosity Relations of Evolved Variable Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud

David Riebel, Margaret Meixner, Oliver Fraser +3

We combine variability information from the MAssive Compact Halo Objects (MACHO) survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with infrared photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescop…
