- Description:
- We show that because the conditions for producing terrestrial microlens parallax (TPRX; i.e., a nearby disk lens) will also tend to produce a large lens-source relative proper motion ({mu}rel), source proper motion ({mu}S) measurements in general provide a strong test of TPRX signals, which Gould & Yee (2013) showed were an important probe of free-floating planet (FFP) candidates. As a case study, we report a single-lens/single-source microlensing event designated as OGLE-2019-BLG-1058. For this event, the short timescale (~2.5days) and very fast {mu}rel (~17.6mas/yr) suggest that this isolated lens is an FFP candidate located in the disk of our Galaxy. For this event, we find a TPRX signal consistent with a disk FFP, but at low significance. A direct measurement of the {mu}S shows that the large {mu}rel is due to an extreme {mu}S, and thus, the lens is consistent with being a very-low-mass star in the bulge and the TPRX measurement is likely spurious. By contrast, we show how a precise measurement of {mu}S with the mean properties of the bulge proper motion distribution would have given the opposite result; i.e., provided supporting evidence for an FFP in the disk and the TPRX measurement.

- Description:
- Supernova (SN) 2017cbv in NGC5643 is one of a handful of Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) reported to have excess blue emission at early times. This paper presents extensive BVRIYJHKs-band light curves of SN2017cbv, covering the phase from -16 to +125days relative to B-band maximum light. The SN2017cbv reached a B-band maximum of 11.710{+/-}0.006mag, with a postmaximum magnitude decline of {Delta}m15(B)=0.990{+/-}0.013mag. The SN suffered no host reddening based on Phillips intrinsic color, the Lira-Phillips relation, and the CMAGIC diagram. By employing the CMAGIC distance modulus {mu}=30.58{+/-}0.05mag and assuming H0=72km/s/Mpc, we found that 0.73M{sun} 56Ni was synthesized during the explosion of SN2017cbv, which is consistent with estimates using reddening- and distance-free methods via the phases of the secondary maximum of the near-IR- (NIR-) band light curves. We also present 14 NIR spectra from -18 to +49 days relative to the B-band maximum light, providing constraints on the amount of swept-up hydrogen from the companion star in the context of the single degenerate progenitor scenario. No Pa{beta} emission feature was detected from our postmaximum NIR spectra, placing a hydrogen mass upper limit of 0.1M{sun}. The overall optical/NIR photometric and NIR spectral evolution of SN2017cbv is similar to that of a normal SN Ia, even though its early evolution is marked by a flux excess not seen in most other well-observed normal SNe Ia. We also compare the exquisite light curves of SN2017cbv with some Mch delayed detonation models and sub-Mch double detonation models.

- Description:
- In this work, we aimed to derive the gri-band period-luminosity (PL) and period-luminosity-color (PLC) relations for late-type contact binaries, for the first time, located in globular clusters, using the homogeneous light curves collected by the Zwicky Transient Factory (ZTF). We started with 79 contact binaries in 15 globular clusters, and retained 30 contact binaries in 10 globular clusters that have adequate numbers of data points in the ZTF light curves and are unaffected by blending. Magnitudes at mean and maximum light of these contact binaries were determined using a fourth-order Fourier expansion, while extinction corrections were done using the Bayerstar2019 3D reddening map together with adopting the homogeneous distances to their host globular clusters. After removing early-type and "anomaly" contact binaries, our derived gri-band PL and period-Wesenheit (PW) relations exhibited a much larger dispersion with large errors on the fitted coefficients. Nevertheless, the gr-band PL and PW relations based on this small sample of contact binaries in globular clusters were consistent with those based on a larger sample of nearby contact binaries. Good agreements of the PL and PW relations suggested both samples of contact binaries in the local Solar neighborhood and in the distant globular clusters can be combined and used to derive and calibrate the PL, PW, and PLC relations. The final derived gr-band PL, PW, and PLC relations were much improved over those based on the limited sample of contact binaries in the globular clusters.

- Description:
- We present panchromatic observations and modeling of the Calcium-rich supernova (SN) 2019ehk in the star-forming galaxy M100 (d~16.2Mpc) starting 10hr after explosion and continuing for ~300days. SN 2019ehk shows a double-peaked optical light curve peaking at t=3 and 15days. The first peak is coincident with luminous, rapidly decaying Swift-XRT-discovered X-ray emission (L_x_~10^41^erg/s at 3days; Lx{propto}t^-3^), and a Shane/Kast spectral detection of narrow H{alpha} and HeII emission lines (v~500km/s) originating from pre-existent circumstellar material (CSM). We attribute this phenomenology to radiation from shock interaction with extended, dense material surrounding the progenitor star at r<10^15^cm and the resulting cooling emission. We calculate a total CSM mass of ~7x10^-3^M_{sun}_ (M_He_/M_H_~6) with particle density n~10^9^cm^-3^. Radio observations indicate a significantly lower density n<10^4^cm^-3^ at larger radii r>(0.1-1)x10^17^cm. The photometric and spectroscopic properties during the second light-curve peak are consistent with those of Ca-rich transients (rise-time of t_r_=13.4!+/-0.210days and a peak B-band magnitude of M_B_=-15.1+/-0.200mag). We find that SN 2019ehk synthesized (3.1+/-0.11)x10^-2^M_{sun}_ of ^56^Ni and ejected M_ej_=(0.72+/-0.040)M_{sun}_ total with a kinetic energy E_k_=(1.8+/-0.10)x10^50^erg. Finally, deep HST pre-explosion imaging at the SN site constrains the parameter space of viable stellar progenitors to massive stars in the lowest mass bin (~10M_{sun}_) in binaries that lost most of their He envelope or white dwarfs (WDs). The explosion and environment properties of SN 2019ehk further restrict the potential WD progenitor systems to low-mass hybrid HeCO WD+CO WD binaries.

- Description:
- Aiming to extend the census of RR Lyrae stars to highly reddened low-latitude regions of the central Milky Way, we performed a deep near-IR variability search using data from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey of the bulge, analyzing the photometric time series of over a hundred million point sources. In order to separate fundamental-mode RR Lyrae (RRab) stars from other periodically variable sources, we trained a deep bidirectional long short-term memory recurrent neural network (RNN) classifier using VVV survey data and catalogs of RRab stars discovered and classified by optical surveys. Our classifier attained a ~99% precision and recall for light curves with signal-to-noise ratio above 60, and is comparable to the best-performing classifiers trained on accurate optical data. Using our RNN classifier, we identified over 4300 hitherto unknown bona fide RRab stars toward the inner bulge. We provide their photometric catalog and VVV J,H,Ks photometric time series.

- Description:
- We present multiepoch infrared photometry and spectroscopy obtained with warm Spitzer, Subaru, and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy to assess variability for the young (~20Myr) and dusty debris systems around HD 172555 and HD 113766A. No variations (within 0.5%) were found for the former at either 3.6 or 4.5{mu}m, while significant nonperiodic variations (peak to peak of ~10%-15% relative to the primary star) were detected for the latter. Relative to the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph spectra taken in 2004, multiepoch mid-infrared spectra reveal no change in either the shape of the prominent 10{mu}m solid-state features or the overall flux levels (no more than 20%) for both systems, corroborating the fact that the population of submicron-size grains that produce the pronounced solid-state features is stable over a decadal timescale. We suggest that these submicron-size grains were initially generated in an optically thick clump of debris of millimeter-size vapor condensates resulting from a recent violent impact between large asteroidal or planetary bodies. Because of the shielding from the stellar photons provided by this clump, intense collisions led to an overproduction of fine grains that would otherwise be ejected from the system by radiation pressure. As the clump is sheared by its orbital motion and becomes optically thin, a population of very fine grains could remain in stable orbits until Poynting-Robertson drag slowly spirals them into the star. We further suggest that the 3-5{mu}m disk variation around HD 113766A is consistent with a clump/arc of such fine grains on a modestly eccentric orbit in its terrestrial zone.

- Description:
- The accuracy of the Hubble constant measured with extragalactic Cepheids depends on robust photometry and background estimation in the presence of stellar crowding. The conventional approach accounts for crowding by sampling backgrounds near Cepheids and assuming that they match those at their positions. We show a direct consequence of crowding by unresolved sources at Cepheid sites is a reduction in the fractional amplitudes of their light curves. We use a simple analytical expression to infer crowding directly from the light curve amplitudes of >200 Cepheids in three Type Ia supernovae hosts and NGC4258 as observed by Hubble Space Telescope-the first near-infrared amplitudes measured beyond the Magellanic Clouds. Where local crowding is minimal, we find near-infrared amplitudes match Milky Way Cepheids at the same periods. At greater stellar densities we find that the empirically measured amplitudes match the values predicted (with no free parameters) from crowding assessed in the conventional way from local regions, confirming their accuracy for estimating the background at the Cepheid locations. Extragalactic Cepheid amplitudes would need to be ~20% smaller than measured to indicate additional, unrecognized crowding as a primary source of the present discrepancy in H0. Rather, we find the amplitude data constrains a systematic mis-estimate of Cepheid backgrounds to be 0.029R+/-0.037mag, more than 5x smaller than the size of the present ~0.2mag tension in H0. We conclude that systematic errors in Cepheid backgrounds do not provide a plausible resolution to the Hubble tension.

- Description:
- High precision CCD observations of six totally eclipsing contact binaries were presented and analyzed. It is found that only one target is an A-type contact binary (V429Cam), while the others are W-type contact ones. By analyzing the times of light minima, we discovered that two of them exhibit secular period increase while three manifest long-term period decrease. For V1033Her, a cyclic variation superimposed on the long-term increase was discovered. By comparing the Gaia distances with those calculated by the absolute parameters of 173 contact binaries, we found that the Gaia distance can be applied to estimate the absolute parameters for most contact binaries. The absolute parameters of our six targets were estimated using their Gaia distances. The evolutionary status of contact binaries was studied, and we found that the A- and W-subtype contact binaries may have different formation channels. The relationship between the spectroscopic and photometric mass ratios for 101 contact binaries was presented. It was discovered that the photometric mass ratios are in good agreement with the spectroscopic ones for almost all of the totally eclipsing systems, which is corresponding to the results derived by Pribulla et al. and Terrell & Wilson.

- Description:
- Young open clusters are ideal laboratories to understand the star formation process. We present deep UBVI and H{alpha} photometry for the young open cluster IC1590 in the center of the HII region NGC281. Early-type members are selected from UBV photometric diagrams, and low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) members are identified by using H{alpha} photometry. In addition, the published X-ray source list and Gaia astrometric data are also used to isolate probable members. A total of 408 stars are selected as members. The mean reddening obtained from early-type members is <E(B-V)>=0.40{+/-}0.06(s.d.). We confirm the abnormal extinction law for the intracluster medium. The distance modulus to the cluster determined from the zero-age main-sequence fitting method is 12.3{+/-}0.2mag (d=2.88{+/-}0.28kpc), which is consistent with the distance d=2.70_-0.20_^+0.24^kpc from the recent Gaia parallaxes. We also estimate the ages and masses of individual members by means of stellar evolutionary models. The mode of the age of PMS stars is about 0.8Myr. The initial mass function of IC1590 is derived. It appears to be a steeper shape ({Gamma}=-1.49{+/-}0.14) than that of the Salpeter/Kroupa initial mass function for the high-mass regime (m>1M{sun}). The signature of mass segregation is detected from the difference in the slopes of the initial mass functions for the inner (r<2.5') and outer regions of this cluster. We finally discuss the star formation history in NGC281.

- Description:
- We report the discovery and characterization of seven transiting exoplanets from the HATNet survey. The planets, which are hot Jupiters and Saturns transiting bright Sun-like stars, include: HAT-P-58b (with mass M_p_=0.37M_J_, radius R_p_=1.33R_J_, and orbital period P=4.0138days), HAT-P-59b (M_p_=1.54M_J_, R_p_=1.12R_J_, P=4.1420days), HAT-P-60b (M_p_=0.57M_J_, R_p_=1.63R_J_, P=4.7948days), HAT-P-61b (M_p_=1.06M_J_, R_p_=0.90R_J_, P=1.9023days), HAT-P-62b (M_p_=0.76M_J_, R_p_=1.07R_J_, P=2.6453days), HAT-P-63b (M_p_=0.61M_J_, R_p_=1.12R_J_, P=3.3777days), and HAT-P-64b (M_p_=0.58M_J_, R_p_= 1.70R_J_, P=4.0072days). The typical errors on these quantities are 0.06M_J_, 0.03R_J_, and 0.2s, respectively. We also provide accurate stellar parameters for each of the host stars. With V=9.710{+/-}0.050mag, HAT-P-60 is an especially bright transiting planet host, and an excellent target for additional follow-up observations. With R_p_=1.703{+/-}0.070R_J_, HAT-P-64b is a highly inflated hot Jupiter around a star nearing the end of its main-sequence lifetime, and is among the largest known planets. Five of the seven systems have long-cadence observations by TESS which are included in the analysis. Of particular note is HAT-P-59 (TOI-1826.01) which is within the northern continuous viewing zone of the TESS mission, and HAT-P-60, which is the TESS candidate TOI-1580.01.
