Disco in the Dust: Reflected light at the bow shock around Betelgeuse's companion explains its observed luminosity
Jared A. Goldberg, Meridith Joyce, Anna J. G. O'Grady +6
Recent detections of Orionis B, the putative companion to Betelgeuse, have been reported using multiple instruments and techniques. These include, most recently, a detect…
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 […
Benchmarking differential reddening in front of globular clusters
Csilla Kalup, László Molnár
Interstellar extinction is a major obstacle in determining accurate stellar parameters from photometry near the Galactic disk. It is especially true for globular clusters at low ga…
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 ($…
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…
