A Bayesian Approach to Inferring Accretion Signatures in Young Stellar Objects: A Case Study with VIRUS
Lauren Halstead Willett, Joe P. Ninan, Suvrath Mahadevan +3
The mass accretion rates of young stellar objects (YSOs) are key to understanding how stars form, how their circumstellar disks evolve, and even how planets form. We develop a Baye…

Manasvee Saraf, Luca Cortese, O. Ivy Wong +3
Empirical studies of the relationship between baryonic matter in galaxies and the gravitational potential of their host halos are important to constrain our theoretical framework f…
Dark no more: The low luminosity stellar counterpart of a dark cloud in the Virgo cluster
Michael G. Jones, Steven Janowiecki, Swapnaneel Dey +9
We have discovered the stellar counterpart to the ALFALFA Virgo 7 cloud complex, which has been thought to be optically dark and nearly star-free since its discovery in 2007. This…
VLT-MUSE spectroscopy of AGNs misclassified by BPT diagnostic or with weak emission lines
Christopher J. Agostino, Samir Salim, Médéric Boquien +3
Despite powerful X-ray emission, some AGNs are known to either lack optical emission lines (so-called 'optically dull' AGNs) or have lines that fall on the star-forming branch of t…

Katherine L. Rhode, Nicholas J. Smith, Denija Crnojevic +8
We present results from wide-field imaging of the resolved stellar populations of the dwarf spheroidal galaxies Cassiopeia III (And XXXII) and Perseus I (And XXXIII), two satellite…
A Search for Gas-Rich Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Universe with ALFALFA and the WIYN One Degree Imager

The LIGO HET Response (LIGHETR) project is an enterprise to follow up optical transients (OT) discovered as gravitational wave merger sources by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration (LVC).…
Catching Tidal Dwarf Galaxies at a Later Evolutionary Stage with ALFALFA
Laurin M. Gray, Katherine L. Rhode, Lukas Leisman +11
We present deep optical imaging and photometry of four objects classified as "Almost-Dark" galaxies in the ALFALFA survey because of their gas-rich nature and extremely faint or mi…
