A Survey for hot Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae I. Methods and First Results
Graham C. Kanarek, Michael M. Shara, Jacqueline K. Faherty +2
We present the results of initial spectrographic followup with the Very Large Telescope (UT3, Melipal) for Galactic plane CIV emission-line candidates in the near-infr…
The spin rates of O stars in WR + O binaries. I. Motivation, methodology and first results from SALT
Michael M. Shara, Steven M. Crawford, Dany Vanbeveren +3
The black holes (BH) in merging BH-BH binaries are likely progeny of binary O stars. Their properties, including their spins, will be strongly influenced by the evolution of their…
The first transition Wolf-Rayet WN/C star in M31
Michael M. Shara, Joanna Mikolajewska, Nelson Caldwell +3
Three decades of searches have revealed 154 Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in M31, with 62 of WC type, 92 of WN type and zero of transition type WN/C or WC/N. In apparent contrast, about tw…
Symbiotic stars in the Local Group of Galaxies
J. Mikolajewska, M. M. Shara, N. Caldwell +3
Preliminary results of the ongoing search for symbiotic binary stars in the Local Group of Galaxies are presented and discussed.
Late-Time Photometry of Type Ia Supernova SN 2012cg Reveals the Radioactive Decay of Co
Or Graur, David Zurek, Michael M. Shara +3
Seitenzahl et al. (2009) have predicted that roughly three years after its explosion, the light we receive from a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) will come mostly from reprocessing of el…
HST Images Flash Ionization of Old Ejecta by the 2011 Eruption of Recurrent Nova T Pyxidis
Michael M. Shara, David Zurek, Bradley E. Schaefer +8
T Pyxidis is the only recurrent nova surrounded by knots of material ejected in previous outbursts. Following the eruption that began on 2011 April 14.29, we obtained seven epochs…
