A Catalog of M-dwarf Flares with ASAS-SN
Romy Rodríguez Martínez, Laura A. Lopez, Benjamin J. Shappee +5
We analyzed the light curves of 1376 early-to-late, nearby M dwarfs to search for white-light flares using photometry from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). We…

We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the Type Ia supernova SN2018cqj/ATLAS18qtd. The supernova exploded in an isolated region at ~kpc from the S0 galaxy IC~55…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VIII. Time Variability of Emission and Absorption in NGC 5548 Based on Modeling the Ultraviolet Spectrum
G. A. Kriss, G. De Rosa, J. Ely +164
We model the ultraviolet spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC~5548 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope during the 6-month reverberation-mapping campaign in 2014. Our model of t…
The ASAS-SN Catalog of Variable Stars V: Variables in the Southern Hemisphere
T. Jayasinghe, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +13
The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline ( yrs) light curves for sources brighter than V mag across the whole sky. As part…
The ASAS-SN Catalog of Variable Stars IV: Periodic Variables in the APOGEE Survey
Michal Pawlak, O. Pejcha, P. Jakubcik +12
We explore the synergy between photometric and spectroscopic surveys by searching for periodic variable stars among the targets observed by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Ev…
KELT-24b: A 5M Planet on a 5.6 day Well-Aligned Orbit around the Young V=8.3 F-star HD 93148
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Jason D. Eastman, George Zhou +76
We present the discovery of KELT-24 b, a massive hot Jupiter orbiting a bright (V=8.3 mag, K=7.2 mag) young F-star with a period of 5.6 days. The host star, KELT-24 (HD 93148), has…
The Most Rapidly Declining Type I Supernova 2019bkc/ATLAS19dqr
Ping Chen, Subo Dong, M. D. Stritzinger +21
We report observations of the hydrogen-deficient supernova (SN) 2019bkc/ATLAS19dqr. With B- and r-band decline between peak and 10 days post peak of Delta m_10(B)=5.24+/-0.07 mag a…
