Spectroscopic evidence for a large spot on the dimming Betelgeuse
Sofya Alexeeva, Gang Zhao, Dong-Yang Gao +4
During October 2019 and March 2020, the luminous red supergiant Betelgeuse demonstrated an unusually deep minimum of its brightness. It became fainter by more than one magnitude an…
A possible tidal disruption event candidate in the black hole binary system of OJ 287
Shifeng Huang, Shaoming Hu, Hongxing Yin +4
The BL Lacertae OJ 287 is a supermassive black holes binary (SMBHB) system with complex physics of its irregular flares. During 2016 October -- 2017 April period, a surprising outb…
Simulating Photometric Images of Moving Targets with Photon-mapping
Junju Du, Shaoming Hu, Xu Chen +2
We present a novel, easy-to-use method based on the photon-mapping technique to simulate photometric images of moving targets. Realistic images can be created in two passes: photon…
Photometric study and absolute parameters estimation of six totally eclipsing contact binaries
Kai Li, Qi-Qi Xia, Chun-Hwey Kim +6
High precision CCD observations of six totally eclipsing contact binaries were presented and analyzed. It is found that only one target is an A-type contact binary (V429 Cam), whil…
The first light curve modeling and orbital period change investigation of nine contact binaries around the short period cut-off
Kai Li, Chun-Hwey Kim, Qi-Qi Xia +5
In this paper, we present the first light curve synthesis and orbital period change analysis of nine contact binaries around the short period limit. It is found that all these syst…
Spitzer + VLTI-GRAVITY Measure the Lens Mass of a Nearby Microlensing Event
Weicheng Zang, Subo Dong, Andrew Gould +24
We report the lens mass and distance measurements of the nearby microlensing event TCP J05074264+2447555. We measure the microlens parallax vector using Spitzer and gro…
