Unveiling the Rich and Diverse Universe of Subsecond Astrophysics through LSST Star Trails
David Thomas, Steven M. Kahn, Federica B. Bianco +9
We present a unique method that allows the LSST to scan the sky for stellar variability on short timescales. The operational component of the strategy requires LSST to take star tr…
The True Luminosities of Planetary Nebulae in M31's Bulge: Massive Central Stars from an Old Stellar Population
Brian D. Davis, Robin Ciardullo, George H. Jacoby +2
We measure the Balmer decrements of 23 of the brightest planetary nebulae (PNe) in the inner bulge ( arcmin) of M31 and de-redden the bright end of the region's [O II…
The Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function (PNLF): Contamination from Supernova Remnants
Brian D. Davis, Robin Ciardullo, John J. Feldmeier +1
The planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) has been used as an extragalactic distance indicator since the 1980's, but there are still unsolved problems associated with its use…
