Absolute dimensions of the eccentric eclipsing binary V541 Cygni
G. Torres, C. D. McGruder, R. J. Siverd +6
We report new spectroscopic and photometric observations of the main-sequence, detached, eccentric, double-lined eclipsing binary V541 Cyg (P = 15.34 days, e = 0.468). Using these…
Determining Empirical Stellar Masses and Radii Using Transits and Gaia Parallaxes as Illustrated by Spitzer Observations of KELT-11b
Thomas G. Beatty, Daniel J. Stevens, Karen A. Collins +8
Using the Spitzer Space Telescope, we observed a transit at 3.6um of KELT-11b (Pepper et al. 2017). We also observed three partial transits from the ground. We simultaneously fit t…
Reverberation Mapping of Optical Emission Lines in Five Active Galaxies
M. M. Fausnaugh, C. J. Grier, M. C. Bentz +68
We present the first results from an optical reverberation mapping campaign executed in 2014, targeting the active galactic nuclei (AGN) MCG+08-11-011, NGC 2617, NGC 4051, 3C 382,…
KELT-12b: A Day, Highly Inflated Hot Jupiter Transiting a Mildly Evolved Hot Star
Daniel J. Stevens, Karen A. Collins, B. Scott Gaudi +46
We report the discovery of KELT-12b, a highly inflated Jupiter-mass planet transiting a mildly evolved host star. We identified the initial transit signal in the KELT-North survey…
Photometric Variability of the Be Star Population
Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Joshua Pepper, M. Virginia McSwain +11
Be stars have generally been characterized by the emission lines in their spectra, and especially the time variability of those spectroscopic features. They are known to also exhib…
KELT-16b: A highly irradiated, ultra-short period hot Jupiter nearing tidal disruption
Thomas E. Oberst, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Knicole D. Colón +47
We announce the discovery of KELT-16b, a highly irradiated, ultra-short period hot Jupiter transiting the relatively bright () star TYC 2688-1839-1. A global analysis of…
