Transit Timing of the White Dwarf-cold Jupiter System WD 1856+534
Eli A. Gendreau-Distler, Kate B. Bostow, Kishore C. Patra +17
We present new transit-timing measurements for the white dwarf-cold Jupiter system WD 1856+534, extending the baseline of observations from 311 epochs to 1498 epochs. The planet is…
SN 2023ixf in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101: From Shock Breakout to the Nebular Phase
Weikang Zheng, Luc Dessart, Alexei V. Filippenko +39
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023ixf covering from day one to 442 days after explosion. SN 2023ixf reached a peak -band absolute magnitude of $-18…
Searching for Tidal Orbital Decay in Hot Jupiters
Efrain Alvarado, Kate B. Bostow, Kishore C. Patra +18
We study transits of several ``hot Jupiter'' systems - including WASP-12 b, WASP-43 b, WASP-103 b, HAT-P-23 b, KELT-16 b, WD 1856+534 b, and WTS-2 b - with the goal of detecting ti…
Discovery of a Hypervelocity L Subdwarf at the Star/Brown Dwarf Mass Limit
Adam J. Burgasser, Roman Gerasimov, Kyle Kremer +18
We report the discovery of a high velocity, very low-mass star or brown dwarf whose kinematics suggest it is unbound to the Milky Way. CWISE J124909.08+362116.0 was identified by c…
JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters -- II. Discovery of Brown Dwarfs in NGC 6397 and Measurement of Age from the Brown Dwarf Cooling Sequence, using SANDee - a New Grid of Model Isochrones across the Hydrogen-Burning Limit
Roman Gerasimov, Luigi R. Bedin, Adam J. Burgasser +4
Globular clusters contain vast repositories of metal-poor stars that represent some of the oldest stellar generations in the Universe. The archaeological footprint of early Galacti…
