Serendipitous Discovery of a Faint Planetary Nebula in the Massive Young LMC Cluster NGC 1866

Howard E. Bond, Nate Bastian, Andrea Bellini +5

During an integral-field spectroscopic study of stars in the massive young open cluster NGC 1866 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, we serendipitously discovered a faint planetary nebu…

JWST-TST DREAMS: NIRSpec/PRISM Transmission Spectroscopy of the Habitable Zone Planet TRAPPIST-1 e

Néstor Espinoza, Natalie H. Allen, Ana Glidden +32

TRAPPIST-1 e is one of the very few rocky exoplanets that is both amenable to atmospheric characterization and that resides in the habitable zone of its star -- located at a distan…

Tracing stellar rotation in young massive LMC clusters

Sebastian Kamann, Nate Bastian, Florian Niederhofer +8

We present a detailed analysis of stellar rotation along the main sequences of NGC 1866 and NGC 1856, two young (~200-300 Myr) massive clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, using…

HSTPROMO Internal Proper Motion Kinematics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies: II. Velocity Anisotropy and Dark Matter Cusp Slope of Sculptor

Eduardo Vitral, Roeland P. van der Marel, Sangmo Tony Sohn +8

We analyze three epochs of HST imaging over 20 years for the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, measuring precise proper motions for 119 stars and combining them with 1760 existing…

A binary-related origin mediated by environmental conditions for blue straggler stars

Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Lanzoni, Enrico Vesperini +7

Blue stragglers are anomalously massive core hydrogen-burning stars that, according to the theory of single star evolution, should not exist. They are suspected to form in mass-enh…

oMEGACat. VI. Analysis of the overall kinematics of Omega Centauri in 3D: velocity dispersion, kinematic distance, anisotropy, and energy equipartition

Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Callie Clontz +15

Omega Centauri ( Cen) is the Milky Way's most massive globular cluster and is likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. In this paper, we analyze Cen's kinema…
