1RXH J082623.6-505741: a new long-period cataclysmic variable with an evolved donor and a low mass transfer rate
Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Jay Strader, Samuel J. Swihart +13
We report the discovery of 1RXH J082623.6-505741, a 10.4 hr orbital period compact binary. Modeling extensive optical photometry and spectroscopy reveals a K-t…
UGPS J194310+183851: an Unusual Optical and X-ray Faint Cataclysmic Variable?
C. Morris, T. J. Maccarone, P. W. Lucas +7
The growing number of multi-epoch optical and infrared sky surveys are uncovering unprecedented numbers of new variable stars, of an increasing number of types. The short interval…
The Loudest Stellar Heartbeat: Characterizing the most extreme amplitude heartbeat star system
T. Jayasinghe, C. S. Kochanek, J. Strader +16
We characterize the extreme heartbeat star system MACHO 80.7443.1718 in the LMC using TESS photometry and spectroscopic observations from the Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle (MIKE…
Lessons from the curious case of the `fastest' star in Gaia DR2
Douglas Boubert, Jay Strader, David Aguado +6
Gaia DR2 5932173855446728064 was recently proposed to be unbound from the Milky Way based on the median radial velocity given in Gaia D…
Precision Orbit of Delphini and Prospects for Astrometric Detection of Exoplanets
Tyler Gardner, John D. Monnier, Francis C. Fekel +17
Combining visual and spectroscopic orbits of binary stars leads to a determination of the full 3D orbit, individual masses, and distance to the system. We present a full analysis o…
A Catalog of Calibrator Stars for Next-Generation Optical Interferometers
Samuel J. Swihart, E. Victor Garcia, Keivan G. Stassun +3
Benchmark stars with known angular diameters are key to calibrating interferometric observations. With the advent of optical interferometry, there is a need for suitably bright, we…
