A free-floating-planet microlensing event caused by a Saturn-mass object
Subo Dong, Zexuan Wu, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +39
A population of free-floating planets is known from gravitational microlensing surveys. None have a directly measured mass, owing to a degeneracy with the distance, but the populat…
Bright Long Secondary Period Stars for Follow-up Observations
P. Iwanek, D. M. Skowron, G. Pojmański +1
Long secondary period (LSP) variable stars are a subclass of long-period variables (LPV) that exhibit additional long-term variability alongside pulsations. Despite being observed…
The Effect of a Non-universal Extinction Curve on the Wesenheit Function and Cepheid Distances
D. M. Skowron, M. L. Fouesneau, R. Drimmel +1
The Wesenheit function is widely used to reduce the effects of interstellar reddening in distance measurements. Its construction, however, relies on the assumption of a universal e…
Eppur si eclissa: Eccentric low-mass companions and time-in-dust selection explain long secondary periods
Leen Decin, Owen Vermeulen, Mats Esseldeurs +5
[abbreviated] Long Secondary Periods (LSPs) are observed in about one third of pulsating red giants yet remain unexplained. Four key observational constraints anchor the discussion…
The Local Distance Network: a community consensus report on the measurement of the Hubble constant at 1% precision
H0DN Collaboration, Stefano Casertano, Gagandeep Anand +35
The direct, empirical determination of the local value of the Hubble constant (H0) has markedly advanced thanks to improved instrumentation, measurement techniques, and distance es…
Doubling the Number of Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators: Final Results of Searches for BLAPs in the OGLE Inner Galactic Bulge Fields
J. Borowicz, P. Pietrukowicz, J. Skowron +13
Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators (BLAPs) are rare short-period (80 min) pulsating variable stars exhibiting large-amplitude brightness variations (typically between 0.1 and…
