The Two-infall Model Revisited: Constraints on Milky Way Bulge Assembly from >30,000 Galactic Chemical Evolution Models and Machine Learning

Niall Miller, Meridith Joyce, Christian I. Johnson +4

We constrain the formation history of the Milky Way bulge using a two-infall galactic chemical evolution (GCE) algorithm implemented in the N'OMEGA+ code. We recover a best-fit sce…

Stranger Things: A Grid-based Survey of Strange Modes in Post-Main Sequence Models

D. Tarczay-Nehéz, L. Molnár, M. Joyce

We present a systematic survey of strange mode pulsations in Cepheids using MESA and for the linear stability analysis, MESA RSP. Our model grid spans in mass and […

Betelgeuse's Buddy: X-Ray Constraints on the Nature of Ori B

Anna J. G. O'Grady, Brendan O'Connor, Jared A. Goldberg +8

The d Long Secondary Period of Betelgeuse's optical lightcurve and radial velocity motivated the prediction of a low-mass stellar companion, expected to be at maximal a…

Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betel-buddy? Constraints on the dynamical companion to Orionis from HST

Jared A. Goldberg, Anna J. G. O'Grady, Meridith Joyce +10

Recently, two independent analyses have asserted that the cause of the Long Secondary Period (LSP) observed in the variability spectrum of our nearest red supergiant, Betelgeuse ($…

Matching seismic masses for RR Lyrae-type and oscillating red horizontal-branch stars in M4

László Molnár, Henryka Netzel, Madeline Howell +2

Globular clusters offer a powerful way to test the properties of stellar populations and the late stages of low-mass stellar evolution. In this paper we study oscillating giant sta…

Empirical Globular Cluster Ridgeline Construction on Gaia Data

Anett Simon-Zsók, László Molnár, Csilla Kalup +1

We present a new method and a corresponding code to compress the color magnitude diagram of a globular cluster into a representative curve, called a ridgeline, that can be more rea…
