A Non-Detection of Iron in the First High-Resolution Emission Study of the Lava Planet 55 Cnc e

Kaitlin C. Rasmussen, Miles H. Currie, Celeste Hagee +17

Close-in lava planets represent an extreme example of terrestrial worlds, but their high temperatures may allow us to probe a diversity of crustal compositions. The brightest and m…

Strong Variability in AzV 493, an Extreme Oe-Type Star in the SMC

M. S. Oey, N. Castro, M. Renzo +11

We present 18 years of OGLE photometry together with spectra obtained over 12 years, revealing that the early Oe star AzV 493 shows strong photometric (Delta I < 1.2 mag) and spect…
