- Description:
- We report the discovery of two transiting exoplanets from the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey, WASP-150b and WASP-176b. WASP-150b is an eccentric (e=0.38) hot Jupiter on a 5.6day orbit around a V=12.03, F8 main-sequence host. The host star has a mass and radius of 1.4M_{sun}_ and 1.7R_{sun}_ respectively. WASP-150b has a mass and radius of 8.5M_J_ and 1.1R_J_, leading to a large planetary bulk density of 6.4{rho}_J_. WASP-150b is found to be ~3Gyr old, well below its circularization timescale, supporting the eccentric nature of the planet. WASP-176b is a hot Jupiter planet on a 3.9day orbit around a V=12.01, F9 sub-giant host. The host star has a mass and radius of 1.3M{sun} and 1.9R{sun}. WASP-176b has a mass and radius of 0.86M_J_ and 1.5R_J_, respectively, leading to a planetary bulk density of 0.23{rho}_J_.

- Description:
- We report on speckle observations of binary stars carried out at the WIYN Telescope over the period from 2010 September through 2012 February, providing relative astrometry for 2521 observations of 883 objects, 856 of which are double stars and 27 of which are triples. The separations measured span a range of 0.01-1.75 arcsec. Wavelengths of 562, 692, and 880 nm were used, and differential photometry at one or more of these wavelengths is presented in most cases. 66 components were resolved for the first time. We also estimate detection limits at 0.2 and 1.0 arcsec for high-quality observations in cases where no companion was seen, a total of 176 additional objects. Detection limits vary based on observing conditions and signal-to-noise ratio, but are approximately 4 mag at 0.2 arcsec and 6 mag at 1.0 arcsec on average. Analyzing the measurement precision of the data set, we find that the individual separations obtained have linear measurement uncertainties of approximately 2 mas, and photometry is uncertain to approximately 0.1 mag in general. This work provides fundamental, well-calibrated data for future orbit and mass determinations, and we present three first orbits and total mass estimates of nearby K-dwarf systems as examples of this potential.

- Description:
- We report 370 measures of 170 components of binary and multiple-star systems, obtained from speckle imaging observations made with the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument (DSSI) at Lowell Observatory's Discovery Channel Telescope in 2015 through 2017. Of the systems studied, 147 are binary stars, 10 are seen as triple systems, and 1 quadruple system is measured. Seventy-six high-quality nondetections and 15 newly resolved components are presented in our observations. The uncertainty in relative astrometry appears to be similar to our previous work at Lowell, namely, linear measurement uncertainties of approximately 2mas, and the relative photometry appears to be uncertain at the 0.1-0.15mag level. Using these measures and those in the literature, we calculate six new visual orbits, including one for the Be star 66Oph and two combined spectroscopic-visual orbits. The latter two orbits, which are for HD22451 (YSC127) and HD185501 (YSC135), yield individual masses of the components at the level of 2% or better, and independent distance measures that in one case agrees with the value found in the Gaia DR2 and in the other disagrees at the 2{sigma} level. We find that HD22451 consists of an F6V+F7V pair with orbital period of 2401.1{+/-}3.2days and masses of 1.342{+/-}0.029 and 1.236{+/-}0.026M_{sun}_. For HD185501, both stars are G5 dwarfs that orbit one another with a period of 433.94{+/-}0.15days, and the masses are 0.898{+/-}0.012 and 0.876{+/-}0.012M_{sun}_. We discuss the details of both the new discoveries and the orbit objects.

- Description:
- This catalog of O and B stars contains magnitudes, colors, spectral types and polarization for 1259 stars. In addition to observations, the catalogue contains the derived absorption and distance modulus. A photoelectric photometer attached to the 82-inch (2m) reflector of the McDonald Observatory was used for the polarization observations. The photometric UBV observations were made over a period of 4 years with the 13-inch (33cm) and the 82-inch telescopes at McDonald. The spectroscopic classification was made with a new camera installed on the Cassegrain spectrograph, with a dispersion of 86{AA}/mm at H{delta}.

- OB stars from the LAMOST DR5 spectra
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present 22901 OB spectra of 16032 stars identified from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope data release 5 (LAMOST DR5) data set. A larger sample of OB candidates are first selected from the distributions in the spectral line indices' space. Then, all 22901 OB spectra are identified by manual inspection. Based on a subsample validation, we find that the completeness of the OB spectra reaches about 89+/-22% for the stars with spectral types earlier than B7, while around 57+/-16% B8-B9 stars are identified. The smaller completeness for late B stars will lead to the difficulty in discriminating them from A0-A1-type stars. The subclasses of the OB samples are determined using the software package MKCLASS. With a careful validation using 646 subsamples, we find that MKCLASS can give fairly reliable subtypes and luminosity classes for most of the OB stars. The uncertainty of the spectral subtype is around 1 subtype, and the uncertainty of the luminosity class is around 1 level. However, about 40% of the OB stars fail to be assigned to any class by MKCLASS, and a few spectra are significantly misclassified by MKCLASS. This is likely because the template spectra of MKCLASS are selected from nearby stars in the solar neighborhood, while the OB stars in this work are mostly located in the outer disk and may have lower metallicities. The rotation of the OB stars may also be responsible for the misclassifications. Moreover, we find that the spectral and luminosity classes of the OB stars located in the Galactic latitude larger than 20{deg} are substantially different with those located in the latitude smaller than 20{deg}, which may either be due to the observational selection effect or may hint a different origin of the high Galactic latitude OB stars.

- Description:
- Star-forming complexes are large structures exhibiting massive star-formation at different stages of evolution, from dense cores to well-developed HII regions. They are very interesting for the study of the formation and evolution of stars. NGC 6334 and NGC 6357 are two active and relatively nearby star-forming complexes. From the extinction map and the sub-mm cold dust emission, and because they have similar velocities, these regions are most likely connected. However, located in the direction of the Galactic center their radial velocity is not representative of their distance. An alternative is then to determine the distance of NGC 6334 and NGC 6357 from their stellar content. Our aim is to perform a census of O-B3 ionising stars in NGC 6334 and NGC 6357, to determine the extinction coefficient, and the distance of both regions. A census of O-B3 stars is an essential basis for estimating the statistical lifetime of the earliest massive star-forming phases.

- Description:
- Stroemgren and H{beta} photometry of OB-stars generally brighter than 9.5mag in the Canis Major - Puppis - Vela region of Milky Way is reported. The observations are based on the Milky Way luminous-star (LS) identifications and are designed to create a complete, magnitude-limited sample of LS for this field. We present new uvby photometry for 127 LS and H{beta} photometry for 25 of them. These observations are part of an ongoing effort to improve the completeness of the existing uvby{beta} data-base for the bright OB-type stars in the Milky Way, with the aim to investigate the structure of selected star-forming regions.

- Occulting galaxy pairs in SDSS

- Description:
- A spiral galaxy partially overlapping a more distant elliptical offers a unique opportunity to measure the dust extinction in the foreground spiral. From the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR4 spectroscopic sample, we selected 83 occulting galaxy pairs and measured disk opacity over the redshift range z=0.0-0.2 with the goal of determining the recent evolution of disk dust opacity. The enrichment of the ISM changes over the lifetime of a disk, and it is reasonable to expect the dust extinction properties of spiral disks as a whole to change over their lifetime. When they do, the change will affect our measurements of galaxies over the observable universe. From the SDSS pairs we conclude that spiral disks show evidence of extinction to ~2 effective radii.
