Characterizing a Dramatic Flare on an Ultracool Dwarf Found by the ASAS-SN Survey

Sarah J. Schmidt, Jose L. Prieto, K. Z. Stanek +19

We analyze a magnitude flare on the newly identified M8 dwarf SDSS J022116.84+194020.4 (hereafter SDSSJ0221) detected as part of the All-Sky Automated Survey for Superno…

MOA-2010-BLG-328Lb: a sub-Neptune orbiting very late M dwarf ?

K. Furusawa, A. Udalski, T. Sumi +119

We analyze the planetary microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-328. The best fit yields host and planetary masses of Mh = 0.11+/-0.01 M_{sun} and Mp = 9.2+/-2.2M_Earth, corresponding to…

The Man Behind the Curtain: X-rays Drive the UV through NIR Variability in the 2013 AGN Outburst in NGC 2617

B. J. Shappee, J. L. Prieto, D. Grupe +44

After the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) discovered a significant brightening of the inner region of NGC 2617, we began a ~70 day photometric and spectroscopic m…

Rapid Eccentricity Oscillations and the Mergers of Compact Objects in Hierarchical Triples

Joe M. Antognini, Benjamin J. Shappee, Todd A. Thompson +1

Kozai-Lidov (KL) oscillations can accelerate compact object mergers via gravitational wave (GW) radiation by driving the inner binaries of hierarchical triples to high eccentriciti…

Greatly Enhanced Eccentricity Oscillations in Quadruple Systems Composed of Two Binaries: Implications for Stars, Planets, and Transients

Ondrej Pejcha, Joe M. Antognini, Benjamin J. Shappee +1

We study the orbital evolution of hierarchical quadruple systems composed of two binaries on a long mutual orbit, where each binary acts as a Kozai-Lidov (KL) perturber on the othe…

The Mid-Infrared and Optical Decay of SN 2011fe

Colin M. McClelland, Peter M. Garnavich, Peter A. Milne +2

We measure the decay rate of the mid-IR luminosity from type Ia supernova 2011fe between six months and one year after explosion using Spitzer/IRAC observations. The fading in the…
