X-ray Polarimetry of Accreting White Dwarfs: A Case Study of EX Hydrae
Sean J. Gunderson, Swati Ravi, Herman L. Marshall +5
We present the first first X-ray polarization measurements of a white dwarf, the intermediate polar EX Hya. We measured significant polarization only in the 2 -- 3 keV energy band…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity: XII. The clumped winds of O-type (super)giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Sarah A. Brands, Frank Backs, Alex de Koter +23
Mass loss governs the evolution of massive stars and shapes the stellar surroundings. To quantify the impact of the stellar winds we need to know the exact mass-loss rates; however…
A Time-Dependent Spectral Analysis of Cassiopeiae
Sean J. Gunderson, David P. Huenemoerder, José M. Torrejón +7
We investigated the temporal and spectral features of Cassiopeiae's X-ray emission within the context of the white dwarf accretion hypothesis. We find that the variabilities p…
Astronomy in Appalachia: Five Lessons in Designing a Planetarium Show
C. Erba, G. Anderson, T. Cox +2
Cultural Astronomy sits at the intersection of our study of the universe and the human experience, exploring how we observe the stars, interpret their motions, and incorporate them…
