Small-amplitude Red Giants Elucidate the Nature of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch as a Standard Candle

Richard Irving Anderson, Nolan Wayne Koblischke

The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is an important standard candle for determining luminosity distances. Although several 105 small-amplitude red giant stars (SARGs) have been discovered, variability was previously considered irrelevant for the TRGB as ...

A Künneth theorem for configuration spaces

Kathryn Hess Bellwald

We construct a spectral sequence converging to the homology of the ordered configuration spaces of a product of parallelizable manifolds. To identify the second page of this spectral sequence, we introduce a version of the Boardman-Vogt tensor product for ...

Cepheids with Giant Companions. I. Revealing a Numerous Population of Double-lined Binary Cepheids* (dagger)

Richard Irving Anderson

Masses of classical Cepheids of 3-11 M are predicted by theory but those measured clump between 3.6-5 M. As a result, their mass-luminosity relation is poorly constrained, impeding our understanding of basic stellar physics and the Leavitt Law. All Cepheid ...

Analysis of Red Supergiants in VDBH 222

Carmela Lardo

Recent surveys uncovered new young massive clusters (YMCs) that host dozens of red supergiants (RSGs) in the inner Milky Way. These clusters are ideal for studying the most recent and violent star formation events in the inner Galaxy. However, due to the h ...

Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: Massive Star Clusters in M83 and the Mass-Metallicity Relation of Nearby Galaxies

Carmela Lardo

We present an abundance analysis of seven super star clusters in the disk of M83. The near-infrared spectra of these clusters are dominated by red supergiants, and the spectral similarity in the J-band of such stars at uniform metallicity means that the in ...

Testing parallaxes with local Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Shuangqing Liao

Context. Parallaxes for 331 classical Cepheids, 31 Type II Cepheids, and 364 RR Lyrae stars in common between Gaia and the HIPPARCOS and Tycho-2 catalogues are published in Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) as part of the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). Ai ...

A High Space Density of Luminous Ly alpha Emitters at z similar to 6.5

Hakim Atek, Patrick Mccarthy

We present the results of a systematic search for Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) at 6 less than or similar to z less than or similar to 7.6 using the HST WFC3 Infrared Spectroscopic Parallel (WISP) Survey. Our total volume over this redshift range is similar to ...

Searching for globular cluster-like abundance patterns in young massive clusters - II. Results from the Antennae galaxies

Carmela Lardo

The presence of multiple populations (MPs) with distinctive light element abundances is a widespread phenomenon in clusters older than 6 Gyr. Clusters with masses, luminosities, and sizes comparable to those of ancient globulars are still forming today. No ...

Bars in disk-dominated and bulge-dominated galaxies at z similar to 0: New insights from similar to 3600 SDSS galaxies

We present a study of large-scale bars in the local universe, based on a large sample of 3692 galaxies, with 18.5

The kinematic status and mass content of the sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

We present VLT FLAMES spectroscopic observations (R similar to 6500) in the Ca II triplet region for 470 probable kinematic members of the Sculptor (Scl) dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The accurate velocities (+/- 2 km s(-1)) and large area coverage of Scl allow ...

Ultrafast Excited State Dynamics of the Protonated Schiff Base of All-trans Retinal in Solvents

Goran Zgrablic

We present a comparative study of the ultrafast photophysics of all-trans retinal in the protonated Schiff base form in solvents with different polarities and viscosities. Steady-state spectra of retinal in the protonated Schiff base form show large absorp ...
