- 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.

- Description:
- We present high-angular-resolution imaging observations of 517 host stars of TESS exoplanet candidates using the 'Alopeke and Zorro speckle cameras at Gemini North and South. The sample consists mainly of bright F, G, K stars at distances of less than 500pc. Our speckle observations span angular resolutions of ~20mas out to 1.2", yielding spatial resolutions of <10-500au for most stars, and our contrast limits can detect companion stars 5-9mag fainter than the primary at optical wavelengths. We detect 102 close stellar companions and determine the separation, magnitude difference, mass ratio, and estimated orbital period for each system. Our observations of exoplanet host star binaries reveal that they have wider separations than field binaries, with a mean orbital semimajor axis near 100 au. Other imaging studies have suggested this dearth of very closely separated binaries in systems which host exoplanets, but incompleteness at small separations makes it difficult to disentangle unobserved companions from a true lack of companions. With our improved angular resolution and sensitivity, we confirm that this lack of close exoplanet host binaries is indeed real. We also search for a correlation between planetary orbital radii versus binary star separation; but, given the very short orbital periods of the TESS planets, we do not find any clear trend. We do note that in exoplanet systems containing binary host stars, there is an observational bias against detecting Earth-size planet transits due to transit depth dilution caused by the companion star.

- Description:
- We present the photometric and spectroscopic analysis of four W-UMa binaries J015829.5+260333 (hereinafter as J0158), J030505.1+293443 (hereinafter as J0305), J102211.7+310022 (hereinafter as J1022), and KW-Psc. The VRcIc band photometric observations are carried out with the 1.3m Devasthal Fast Optical Telescope (DFOT). For low-resolution spectroscopy, we used the 2m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) as well as the archival data from the 4m LAMOST survey. The systems J0158 and J0305 show a period increase rate of 5.26({+/-}1.72)x10^-7^days/yr and 1.78({+/-}1.52)x10^-6^days/yr, respectively. The period of J1022 is found to be decreasing with a rate of 4.22({+/-}1.67)x10^-6^days/yr. The period analysis of KW-Psc displays no change in its period. The PHOEBE package is used for the light-curve modeling and basic parameters are evaluated with the help of the GAIA parallax. The asymmetry of light curves is explained with the assumption of cool spots at specific positions on one of the components of the system. On the basis of temperatures, mass ratios, fill-out factors, and periods, the system J1022 is identified as a W-subtype system while the others show some mixed properties. To probe the chromospheric activities in these W-UMa binaries, their spectra are compared with the known inactive stars' spectra. The comparison shows emission in H{alpha}, H{beta}, and CaII. To understand the evolutionary status of these systems, the components are plotted in mass-radius and mass-luminosity planes with other well characterized binary systems. The secondary components of all the systems are away from ZAMS, which indicates that the secondary is more evolved than the primary component.

- Description:
- We present the stellar mass-[Fe/H] and mass-[Mg/H] relation of quiescent galaxies in two galaxy clusters at z~0.39 and z~0.54. We derive the age, [Fe/H], and [Mg/Fe] for each individual galaxy using a full-spectrum fitting technique. By comparing with the relations for z~0 Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxies, we confirm our previous finding that the mass-[Fe/H] relation evolves with redshift. The mass-[Fe/H] relation at higher redshift has lower normalization and possibly steeper slope. However, based on our sample, the mass-[Mg/H] relation does not evolve over the observed redshift range. We use a simple analytic chemical evolution model to constrain the average outflow that these galaxies experience over their lifetime, via the calculation of mass-loading factor. We find that the average mass-loading factor {eta} is a power-law function of galaxy stellar mass, {eta}{prop}M*^-0.21{+/-}0.09^. The measured mass-loading factors are consistent with the results of other observational methods for outflow measurements and with the predictions where outflow is caused by star formation feedback in turbulent disks.

- Description:
- We present nearly 500 days of observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-18pg, spanning from 54 days before peak light to 441 days after peak light. Our data set includes X-ray, UV, and optical photometry, optical spectroscopy, radio observations, and the first published spectropolarimetric observations of a TDE. ASASSN-18pg was discovered on 2018 July 11 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) at a distance of d=78.6Mpc; with a peak UV magnitude of m~14, it is both one of the nearest and brightest TDEs discovered to-date. The photometric data allow us to track both the rise to peak and the long-term evolution of the TDE. ASASSN-18pg peaked at a luminosity of L~2.4x10^44^erg/s, and its late-time evolution is shallower than a flux {propto}t^-5/3^ power-law model, similar to what has been seen in other TDEs. ASASSN-18pg exhibited Balmer lines and spectroscopic features consistent with Bowen fluorescence prior to peak, which remained detectable for roughly 225days after peak. Analysis of the two-component H{alpha} profile indicates that, if they are the result of reprocessing of emission from the accretion disk, the different spectroscopic lines may be coming from regions between ~10 and ~60 lt-days from the black hole. No X-ray emission is detected from the TDE, and there is no evidence of a jet or strong outflow detected in the radio. Our spectropolarimetric observations indicate that the projected emission region is likely not significantly aspherical, with the projected emission region having an axis ratio of >~0.65.

- Description:
- Early observations of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) provide essential clues for understanding the progenitor system that gave rise to the terminal thermonuclear explosion. We present exquisite observations of SN 2019yvq, the second observed SN Ia, after iPTF 14atg, to display an early flash of emission in the ultraviolet (UV) and optical. Our analysis finds that SN 2019yvq was unusual, even when ignoring the initial flash, in that it was moderately underluminous for an SN Ia (M_g_~-18.5mag at peak) yet featured very high absorption velocities (v~15000km/s for SiII{lambda}6355 at peak). We find that many of the observational features of SN 2019yvq, aside from the flash, can be explained if the explosive yield of radioactive 56Ni is relatively low (we measure M_56Ni_=0.31+/-0.05M_{sun}_) and it and other iron-group elements are concentrated in the innermost layers of the ejecta. To explain both the UV/optical flash and peak properties of SN 2019yvq we consider four different models: interaction between the SN ejecta and a nondegenerate companion, extended clumps of ^56^Ni in the outer ejecta, a double-detonation explosion, and the violent merger of two white dwarfs. Each of these models has shortcomings when compared to the observations; it is clear additional tuning is required to better match SN 2019yvq. In closing, we predict that the nebular spectra of SN 2019yvq will feature either H or He emission, if the ejecta collided with a companion, strong [CaII] emission, if it was a double detonation, or narrow [OI] emission, if it was due to a violent merger.

- Description:
- We report the lens mass and distance measurements of the nearby microlensing event TCPJ05074264+2447555 (Kojima-1). We measure the microlens parallax vector {pi}_E_ using Spitzer and ground-based light curves with constraints on the direction of lens-source relative proper motion derived from Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) GRAVITY observations. Combining this {pi}_E_ determination with the angular Einstein radius {theta}_E_ measured by VLTI-GRAVITY observations, we find that the lens is a star with mass M_L_=0.495{+/-}0.063M{odot} at a distance DL=429{+/-}21pc. We find that the blended light basically all comes from the lens. The lens-source proper motion is {mu}_rel,hel_=26.55{+/-}0.36mas/yr, so with currently available adaptive-optics instruments, the lens and source can be resolved in 2021. This is the first microlensing event whose lens mass is unambiguously measured by interferometry+satellite-parallax observations, which opens a new window for mass measurements of isolated objects such as stellar-mass black holes.

- Description:
- We present multiwavelength photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2019ein, a high-velocity Type Ia supernova (SNIa) discovered in the nearby galaxy NGC5353 with a two-day nondetection limit. SN 2019ein exhibited some of the highest measured expansion velocities of any SNIa, with a SiII absorption minimum blueshifted by 24000km/s at 14days before peak brightness. More unusually, we observed the emission components of the PCygni profiles to be blueshifted upward of 10000km/s before B-band maximum light. This blueshift, among the highest in a sample of 28 other SNeIa, is greatest at our earliest spectroscopic epoch and subsequently decreases toward maximum light. We discuss possible progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms that could explain these extreme absorption and emission velocities. Radio observations beginning 14days before B-band maximum light yield nondetections at the position of SN2019ein, which rules out symbiotic progenitor systems, most models of fast optically thick accretion winds, and optically thin shells of mass<~10^-6^M{odot} at radii <100au. Comparing our spectra to models and observations of other high-velocity SNeIa, we find that SN2019ein is well fit by a delayed-detonation explosion. We propose that the high emission velocities may be the result of abundance enhancements due to ejecta mixing in an asymmetric explosion, or optical depth effects in the photosphere of the ejecta at early times. These findings may provide evidence for common explosion mechanisms and ejecta geometries among high-velocity SNeIa.

- Description:
- The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is performing a three-day cadence survey of the visible northern sky (~3{pi}) with newly found transient candidates announced via public alerts. The ZTF Bright Transient Survey (BTS) is a large spectroscopic campaign to complement the photometric survey. BTS endeavors to spectroscopically classify all extragalactic transients with m_peak_<~18.5mag in either the g_ZTF_ or r_ZTF_ filters, and publicly announce said classifications. BTS discoveries are predominantly supernovae (SNe), making this the largest flux-limited SN survey to date. Here we present a catalog of 761 SNe, classified during the first nine months of ZTF (2018 April 1-2018 December 31). We report BTS SN redshifts from SN template matching and spectroscopic host-galaxy redshifts when available. We analyze the redshift completeness of local galaxy catalogs, the redshift completeness fraction (RCF; the ratio of SN host galaxies with known spectroscopic redshift prior to SN discovery to the total number of SN hosts). Of the 512 host galaxies with SNe Ia, 227 had previously known spectroscopic redshifts, yielding an RCF estimate of 44%{+/-}4%. The RCF decreases with increasing distance and decreasing galaxy luminosity (for z<0.05, or ~200Mpc, RCF~0.6). Prospects for dramatically increasing the RCF are limited to new multifiber spectroscopic instruments or wide-field narrowband surveys. Existing galaxy redshift catalogs are only ~50% complete at r~16.9mag. Pushing this limit several magnitudes deeper will pay huge dividends when searching for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave events or sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays or neutrinos.

- Description:
- We show that the perturbation at the peak of the light curve of microlensing event KMT-2019-BLG-0371 is explained by a model with a mass ratio between the host star and planet of q~0.08. Due to the short event duration (t_E_~6.5days), the secondary object in this system could potentially be a massive giant planet. A Bayesian analysis shows that the system most likely consists of a host star with a mass M_h_=0.09_-0.05_^+0.14^Msun and a massive giant planet with a mass M_p_=7.70_-3.90_^+11.34^M_Jup_. However, the interpretation of the secondary as a planet (i.e., as having M_p_<13M_Jup_) rests entirely on the Bayesian analysis. Motivated by this event, we conduct an investigation to determine which constraints meaningfully affect Bayesian analyses for microlensing events. We find that the masses inferred from such a Bayesian analysis are determined almost entirely by the measured value of {theta}_E_ and are relatively insensitive to other factors such as the direction of the event (l, b), the lens-source relative proper motion {mu}_rel_, or the specific Galactic model prior.

- Description:
- V642Vir is a polar spotted, well-detached, UV Leo-type, low-mass, pre-WUMa (T1~4250K, ~K6V) eclipsing binary. It was observed in 2020 April, May, and June at the Dark Sky Observatory in North Carolina, USA with the 0.81m reflector of Appalachian State University. A total of 88 timings were used in our 22-year period study which included 12 Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) timings. The O-C plots show a low-amplitude oscillation of residuals that points to the existence of an orbiting third body, a dwarf of minimum mass, 0.15M{sun} in an eccentric orbit (e=0.41), with an orbital period of 20.07yr. The odd light curves of V642 Virginis indicate that it has polar spots similar to UV Leo and the recently published V1023Per. Its present large polar spot region indicates that it must have a strong magnetic field and that it is synchronously rotating. The BVR_c_I_c_ simultaneous Wilson-Devinney Program solution gives a detached binary (primary and secondary components are underfilling their respective Roche Lobes, with 76% and 78% fill outs respectively). The cool spot region models near the pole of the primary component (centered at 10{deg} colatitude) and is angled toward the secondary component. Its large radius (68{deg}) and T-fact (T_spot_/T_surface_=0.69) also attest to the conclusion of the strength of the magnetic field. The small {Delta}T in the components (~318K) and mass ratio near unity (0.9542{+/-}0.0005) show that the stars are similar in spectral type (secondary ~K9V). The inclination is high, ~86.87{+/-}0.04{deg}, yet there is no time of constant light due to the two stars essentially equal radii.

- Description:
- We investigate the gravitational microlensing event KMT-2019-BLG-1715, the light curve of which shows two short-term anomalies from a caustic-crossing binary-lensing light curve: one with a large deviation and the other with a small deviation. We identify five pairs of solutions, in which the anomalies are explained by adding an extra lens or source component in addition to the base binary-lens model. We resolve the degeneracies by applying a method in which the measured flux ratio between the first and second source stars is compared with the flux ratio deduced from the ratio of the source radii. Applying this method leaves a single pair of viable solutions, in both of which the major anomaly is generated by a planetary-mass third body of the lens, and the minor anomaly is generated by a faint second source. A Bayesian analysis indicates that the lens comprises three masses: a planet-mass object with ~2.6M_J_ and binary stars of K and M dwarfs lying in the galactic disk. We point out the possibility that the lens is the blend, and this can be verified by conducting high-resolution follow-up imaging for the resolution of the lens from the source.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of the newly identified {mu}Tau Association (MUTA) of young stars at ~150pc from the Sun that is part of the large Cas-Tau structure, coeval and comoving with the {alpha}Persei cluster. This association is also located in the vicinity of the Taurus-Auriga star-forming region and the Pleiades association, although it is unrelated to them. We identify more than 500 candidate members of MUTA using Gaia DR2 data and the BANYAN {Sigma} tool, and we determine an age of 62{+/-}7Myr for its population based on an empirical comparison of its color-magnitude diagram sequence with those of other nearby young associations. The MUTA association is related to the Theia 160 group of Kounkel & Covey and corresponds to the e Tau group of Liu et al. It is also part of the Cas-Tau group of Blaauw. As part of this analysis, we introduce an iterative method based on spectral templates to perform an accurate correction of interstellar extinction of Gaia DR2 photometry, needed because of its wide photometric bandpasses. We show that the members of MUTA display an expected increased rate of stellar activity and faster rotation rates compared with older stars, and that literature measurements of the lithium equivalent width of nine G0- to K3-type members are consistent with our age determination. We show that the present- day mass function of MUTA is consistent with other known nearby young associations. We identify WD0340+103 as a hot, massive white dwarf remnant of a B2 member that left its planetary nebula phase only 270000yr ago, posing an independent age constraint of 60_-6_^+8^ Myr for MUTA, consistent with our isochrone age. This relatively large collection of comoving young stars near the Sun indicates that more work is required to unveil the full kinematic structure of the complex of young stars surrounding {alpha} Persei and Cas-Tau.

- Description:
- We provide the first full K2 transiting exoplanet sample, using photometry from Campaigns 1-8 and 10-18, derived through an entirely automated procedure. This homogeneous planet candidate catalog is crucial to perform a robust demographic analysis of transiting exoplanets with K2. We identify 747 unique planet candidates and 57 multiplanet systems. Of these candidates, 366 have not been previously identified, including one resonant multiplanet system and one system with two short-period gas giants. By automating the construction of this list, measurements of sample biases (completeness and reliability) can be quantified. We carried out a light-curve-level injection/recovery test of artificial transit signals and found a maximum completeness of 61%, a consequence of the significant detrending required for K2 data analysis. Through this operation we attained measurements of the detection efficiency as a function of signal strength, enabling future population analysis using this sample. We assessed the reliability of our planet sample by testing our vetting software EDI-Vetter against inverted transit-free light curves. We estimate that 91% of our planet candidates are real astrophysical signals, increasing up to 94% when limited to the FGKM dwarf stellar population. We also constrain the contamination rate from background eclipsing binaries to less than 5%. The presented catalog, along with the completeness and reliability measurements, enable robust exoplanet demographic studies to be carried out across the fields observed by the K2 mission for the first time.

- Description:
- WASP-43b is one of the most important candidates for detecting an orbital decay. We investigate pieces of evidence for this expectation as variations in its transit timings, based on the ground and space observations. The data set includes the transit observations at the TUBITAK National Observatory of Turkey and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). We present a global model of the system, based on the most precise photometry from space, ground, and archival radial velocity data. Using the homogenized data set and modeled light curves, we measure the mid-transit times for WASP-43b. Our analysis agrees with a linear ephemeris for which we refine the light elements for future observations of the system. However, there is a negative difference between the transit timings derived from TESS data in two sectors (9 and 35) and a hint of an orbital period decrease in the entire data set. Both findings are statistically insignificant due to the short baseline of observations, which prevents us from drawing firm conclusions about the orbital decay of this ultra-short-period planet. However, assuming the effect of this decrease of the period in the planet's orbit, we derive a lower limit for the reduced tidal quality factor as Q*'>(4.01{+/-}1.15)x10^5^ from the best-fitting quadratic function. Finally, we calculate a probable rotational period for this system as 7.52days from the out-of-transit flux variation in the TESS light curves due to spot modulation.

- Description:
- We confirm the planetary nature of TOI-1728b using a combination of ground-based photometry, near-infrared Doppler velocimetry and spectroscopy with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder. TOI-1728 is an old, inactive M0 star with Teff=3980_-32_^+31^K, which hosts a transiting super-Neptune at an orbital period of ~3.49days. Joint fitting of the radial velocities and TESS and ground-based transits yields a planetary radius of 5.05_-0.17_^+0.16^ R{Earth}, mass 26.78_-5.13_^+5.43^M{Earth}, and eccentricity 0.057_-0.039_^+0.054^. We estimate the stellar properties, and perform a search for He 10830{AA} absorption during the transit of this planet and claim a null detection with an upper limit of 1.1% with 90% confidence. A deeper level of He 10830{AA} absorption has been detected in the planet atmosphere of GJ3470b, a comparable gaseous planet. TOI-1728b is the largest super-Neptune-the intermediate subclass of planets between Neptune and the more massive gas-giant planets-discovered around an M-dwarf. With its relatively large mass and radius, TOI-1728 represents a valuable data point in the M-dwarf exoplanet mass-radius diagram, bridging the gap between the lighter Neptune-sized planets and the heavier Jovian planets known to orbit M dwarfs. With a low bulk density of 1.14_-0.24_^+0.26^g/cm^3^, and orbiting a bright host star (J~9.6, V~12.4), TOI-1728b is also a promising candidate for transmission spectroscopy both from the ground and from space, which can be used to constrain planet formation and evolutionary models.

- Description:
- We present optical and infrared photometry of the classical nova V906 Car, also known as Nova Car 2018 and ASASSN-18fv, which was discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) on 2018 March 16.32 UT (MJD 58193.0). The nova reached its maximum on MJD 58222.56 at Vmax=5.84{+/-}0.09mag, and had decline times of t_2,V_=26.2days and t_3,V_=33.0days. The data from Evryscope shows that the nova had already brightened to g'~13mag five days before discovery, as compared with its quiescent magnitude of g=20.13{+/-}0.03. The extinction toward the nova, as derived from high-resolution spectroscopy, shows an estimate consistent with foreground extinction to the Carina Nebula of A_V_=1.11_-0.39_^+0.54^. The light curve resembles a rare C (cusp) class nova with a steep decline slope of {alpha}=-3.94 post-cusp flare. From the light-curve decline rate, we estimate the mass of the white dwarf to be MWD=<0.8M{sun}, consistent with M_WD_=0.71_-0.19_^+0.23^ derived from modeling the accretion disk of the system in quiescence. The donor star is likely a K-M dwarf of 0.23-0.43M_{odot}, which is heated by its companion.

- Description:
- The distinguishing feature of the evolution of close binary stars is the role played by the mass exchange between the component stars. Whether or not the mass transfer is dynamically stable is one of the essential questions in binary evolution. In the limit of extremely rapid mass transfer, the response of a donor star in an interacting binary becomes asymptotically one of adiabatic expansion. We use the adiabatic mass-loss model to systematically survey the thresholds for dynamical timescale mass transfer over the entire span of possible donor star evolutionary states. We also simulate mass-loss process with isentropic envelopes, the specific entropy of which is fixed to be that at the base of the convective envelope, to artificially mimic the effect of such mass loss in superadiabatic surface convection regions, where the adiabatic approximation fails. We illustrate the general adiabatic response of 3.2M{odot} donor stars at different evolutionary stages. We extend our study to a grid of donor stars with different masses (from 0.1 to 100 M{sun} with Z=0.02) and at different evolutionary stages. We proceed to present our criteria for dynamically unstable mass transfer in both tabular and graphical forms. For red giant branch (RGB) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) donors in systems with such mass ratios, they may have convective envelopes deep enough to evolve into common envelopes on a thermal timescale, if the donor star overfills its outer Lagrangian radius. Our results show that the RGB and AGB stars tend to be more stable than previously believed, and this may be helpful to explain the abundance of observed post-AGB binary stars with an orbital period of around 1000 days.

- Description:
- We examine the clustering and kinematics of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the North America/Pelican Nebulae, as revealed by Gaia astrometry, in relation to the structure and motions of the molecular gas, as indicated in molecular-line maps. The Gaia parallaxes and proper motions allow us to significantly refine previously published lists of YSOs, demonstrating that many of the objects previously thought to form a distributed population turn out to be nonmembers. The members are subdivided into at least six spatio-kinematic groups, each of which is associated with its own molecular cloud component or components. Three of the groups are expanding, with velocity gradients of 0.3-0.5km/s/pc, up to maximum velocities of ~8km/s away from the groups' centers. The two known O-type stars associated with the region, 2MASS J20555125+4352246 and HD 199579, are rapidly escaping one of these groups, following the same position-velocity relation as the low-mass stars. We calculate that a combination of gas expulsion and tidal forces from the clumpy distribution of molecular gas could impart the observed velocity gradients within the groups. However, on a global scale, the relative motions of the groups do not appear either divergent or convergent. The velocity dispersion of the whole system is consistent with the kinetic energy gained due to gravitational collapse of the complex. Most of the stellar population has ages similar to the freefall timescales for the natal clouds. Thus, we suggest the nearly freefall collapse of a turbulent molecular cloud as the most likely scenario for star formation in this complex.

- We present Spitzer follow-up imaging of 95 candidate extremely cold brown dwarfs discovered by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project, which uses visually perceived motion in multiepoch Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) images to identify previously unrecognized substellar neighbors to the Sun. We measure Spitzer [3.6]-[4.5] color to phototype our brown dwarf candidates, with an emphasis on pinpointing the coldest and closest Y dwarfs within our sample. The combination of WISE and Spitzer astrometry provides quantitative confirmation of the transverse motion of 75 of our discoveries. Nine of our motion-confirmed objects have best-fit linear motions larger than 1"/yr; our fastest-moving discovery is WISEAJ155349.96+693355.2 ({mu}~2.15/yr), a possible T-type subdwarf. We also report a newly discovered wide-separation (~400au) T8 comoving companion to the white dwarf LSPMJ0055+5948 (the fourth such system to be found), plus a candidate late T companion to the white dwarf LSRJ0002+6357 at 5.5 projected separation (~8700au if associated). Among our motion-confirmed targets, five have Spitzer colors most consistent with spectral type Y. Four of these five have exceptionally red Spitzer colors suggesting types of Y1 or later, adding considerably to the small sample of known objects in this especially valuable low-temperature regime. Our Y dwarf candidates begin bridging the gap between the bulk of the Y dwarf population and the coldest known brown dwarf.

- Description:
- The disintegrating planet candidate K2-22b shows periodic and stochastic transits best explained by an escaping debris cloud. However, the mechanism that creates the debris cloud is unknown. The grain size of the debris as well as its sublimation rate can be helpful in understanding the environment that disintegrates the planet. Here, we present simultaneous photometry with the g band at 0.48{mu}m and KS band at 2.1{mu}m using the Large Binocular Telescope. During an event with very low dust activity, we put a new upper limit on the size of the planet of 0.71R{Earth} or 4500km. We also detected a medium depth transit that can be used to constrain the dust particle sizes. We find that the median particle size must be larger than about 0.5-1.0{mu}m, depending on the composition of the debris. This leads to a high mass-loss rate of about 3x108kg/s, which is consistent with hydrodynamic escape models. If they are produced by some alternate mechanism such as explosive volcanism, it would require extraordinary geological activity. Combining our upper limits on the planet size with the high mass-loss rate, we find a lifetime of the planet of less than 370Myr. This drops to just 21Myr when adopting the 0.02M{Earth} mass predicted from hydrodynamical models.

- Description:
- We monitored a 3deg^2^ area toward Serpens Main in the Pan-STARRS1 r, i, and z bands from 2016 April to September. Light curves of more than 11000 stars in each band were obtained, and 143 variables have been identified. Among those, 119 variables are new discoveries, while 24 variables were previously known. We present variability classes and periods of 99 stars. Of these, 81 are located in the upper giant branch, displaying long periods, while the remaining 18 variables are pre-main-sequence objects with short periods. We also identify eight eclipsing binary systems, including the known binary V0623Ser, and derive their physical parameters. According to a clustering analysis of Gaia DR2 stars in the observed field, there are 10 variable members in Serpens Main, where six members have been classified as young stellar objects in previous studies. Here we provide color-magnitude and color-color diagrams for these variables. The color variability of most variables in the color-magnitude diagrams produces the expected displacements, while the movements of cluster members point in different directions; this behavior may be associated with accretion spots or circumstellar disks.

- Description:
- We make use of individual (epoch) detection data from the Pan-STARRS "3{pi}" survey for 2863 optical ICRF3 counterparts in the five wavelength bands g, r, i, z, and y, published as part of the Data Release 2. A dedicated method based on the Functional Principal Component Analysis is developed for these sparse and irregularly sampled data. With certain regularization and normalization constraints, it allows us to obtain uniform and compatible estimates of the variability amplitudes and average magnitudes between the passbands and objects. We find that the starting assumption of affinity of the light curves for a given object at different wavelengths is violated for several percent of the sample. The distributions of rms variability amplitudes are strongly skewed toward small values, peaking at ~0.1mag with tails stretching to 2mag. Statistically, the lowest variability is found for the r band and the largest for the reddest y band. A small "brighter-redder" effect is present, with amplitudes in y greater than amplitudes in g in 57% of the sample. The variability versus redshift dependence shows a strong decline with z toward redshift 3, which we interpret as the time dilation of the dominant time frequencies. The colors of radio-loud ICRF3 quasars are correlated with redshift in a complicated, wavy pattern governed by the emergence of brightest emission lines within the five passbands.

Observations have been carried out since 2007; that is, the accumulated data correspond to an interval of 13yr. As a result, most of the orbits were classified as "accurate" using the qualitative criteria by Worley & Heintz. A comparison of the mass sums and masses of the components calculated by two independent methods was made for objects with orbital solutions. The Gaia EDR3 parallax was used to obtain the fundamental parameters, as well as the Hipparcos and Gaia DR2 parallaxes.

- Stellar radial-velocity (RV) jitter due to surface activity may bias the RV semiamplitude and mass of rocky planets. The amplitude of the jitter may be estimated from the uncertainty in the rotation period, allowing the mass to be more accurately obtained. We find candidate rotation periods for 17 out of 35 TESS Objects of Interest (TOI) hosting <3R{Earth} planets as part of the Magellan-TESS survey, which is the first-ever statistically robust study of exoplanet masses and radii across the photoevaporation gap. Seven periods are >~3{sigma} detections, two are >~1.5{sigma}, and eight show plausible variability, but the periods remain unconfirmed. The other 18 TOIs are nondetections. Candidate rotators include the host stars of the confirmed planets L168-9b, the HD21749 system, LTT1445Ab, TOI1062b, and the L98-59 system. Thirteen candidates have no counterpart in the 1000 TOI rotation catalog of Canto Martins et al. We find periods for G3-M3 dwarfs using combined light curves from TESS and the Evryscope all-sky array of small telescopes, sometimes with longer periods than would be possible with TESS alone. Secure periods range from 1.4 to 26 days with Evryscope-measured photometric amplitudes as small as 2.1mmag in g' . We also apply Monte Carlo sampling and a Gaussian process stellar activity model from exoplanet to the TESS light curves of six TOIs to confirm the Evryscope periods.

- Description:
- The Taurus-Auriga complex is the prototypical low-mass star-forming region, and provides a unique testbed of the star formation process, which left observable imprints on the spatial, kinematic, and temporal structure of its stellar population. Taurus's rich observational history has uncovered peculiarities that suggest a complicated star-forming event, such as members at large distances from the molecular clouds and evidence of an age spread. With Gaia, an in-depth study of the Taurus census is possible, to confirm membership, identify substructure, and reconstruct its star formation history. We have compiled an expansive census of the greater Taurus region, identifying spatial subgroups and confirming that Taurus is substructured across stellar density. There are two populations of subgroups: clustered groups near the clouds and sparse groups spread throughout the region. The sparse groups comprise Taurus's distributed population, which is on average older than the population near the clouds, and hosts subpopulations up to 15Myr old. The ages of the clustered groups increase with distance, suggesting that the current star formation was triggered from behind. Still, the region is kinematically coherent, and its velocity structure reflects an initial turbulent spectrum similar to Larson's Law that has been modified by dynamical relaxation. Overall, Taurus has a complicated star formation history, with at least two epochs of star formation featuring both clustered and distributed modes. Given the correlations between age and spatial distribution, Taurus might be part of a galaxy-scale star-forming event that can only begin to be understood in the Gaia era.

- Description:
- We present results from the Large Adaptive optics Survey for Substellar Objects, where the goal is to directly image new substellar companions (<70M_Jup_) at wide orbital separations (>~50au) around young (<~300Myr), nearby (<100pc), low-mass (~0.1-0.8 M{odot}) stars. We report on 427 young stars imaged in the visible (i') and near-infrared (J or H ) simultaneously with Robo-AO on the Kitt Peak 2.1m telescope and later the Maunakea University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope. To undertake the observations, we commissioned a new infrared camera for Robo-AO that uses a low-noise high-speed SAPHIRA avalanche photodiode detector. We detected 121 companion candidates around 111 stars, of which 62 companions are physically associated based on Gaia DR2 parallaxes and proper motions, another 45 require follow-up observations to confirm physical association, and 14 are background objects. The companion separations range from 2 to 1101 au and reach contrast ratios of 7.7 mag in the near-infrared compared to the primary. The majority of confirmed and pending candidates are stellar companions, with ~5 being potentially substellar and requiring follow-up observations for confirmation. We also detected a 43{+/-}9 M_Jup_ and an 81{+/-}5M_Jup_ companion that were previously reported. We found 34 of our targets have acceleration measurements detected using Hipparcos-Gaia proper motions. Of those, 58_-14_^+12^% of the 12 stars with imaged companion candidates have significant accelerations ({chi}^2^>11.8), while only 23_-6_^+11^% of the remaining 22 stars with no detected companion have significant accelerations. The significance of the acceleration decreases with increasing companion separation. These young accelerating low-mass stars with companions will eventually yield dynamical masses with future orbit monitoring.

- Description:
- Space observatories have provided unprecedented depictions of the many variability behaviors typical of low-mass, young stars. However, those studies have so far largely omitted more massive objects (~2M{sun} to 4-5M{sun}) and were limited by the absence of simultaneous, multiwavelength information. We present a new study of young star variability in the ~1-2Myr old, massive Lagoon Nebula region. Our sample encompasses 278 young, late B to K-type stars, monitored with Kepler/K2. Auxiliary u, g, r, i, H{alpha} time-series photometry, simultaneous with K2, was acquired at the Paranal Observatory. We employed this comprehensive data set and archival infrared photometry to determine individual stellar parameters, assess the presence of circumstellar disks, and tie the variability behaviors to inner disk dynamics. We found significant mass-dependent trends in variability properties, with B/A stars displaying substantially reduced levels of variability compared to G/K stars for any light-curve morphology. These properties suggest different magnetic field structures at the surface of early-type and later-type stars. We also detected a dearth of some disk-driven variability behaviors, particularly dippers, among stars earlier than G. This indicates that their higher surface temperatures and more chaotic magnetic fields prevent the formation and survival of inner disk dust structures corotating with the star. Finally, we examined the characteristic variability timescales within each light curve and determined that the day-to-week timescales are predominant over the K2 time series. These reflect distinct processes and locations in the inner disk environment, from intense accretion triggered by instabilities in the innermost disk regions to variable accretion efficiency in the outer magnetosphere.

- Description:
- The Kepler telescope has discovered over 4000 planets (candidates) by searching ~200000 stars over a wide range of distance (order of kpc) in our Galaxy. Characterizing the kinematic properties (e.g., Galactic component membership and kinematic age) of these Kepler targets (including the planet candidate hosts) is the first step toward studying Kepler planets in the Galactic context, which will reveal fresh insights into planet formation and evolution. In this paper, the second part of the Planets Across the Space and Time (PAST) series, by combining the data from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) and Gaia and then applying the revised kinematic methods from PAST I, we present a catalog of kinematic properties (i.e., Galactic positions, velocities, and the relative membership probabilities among the thin disk, thick disk, Hercules stream, and the halo) as well as other basic stellar parameters for 35835 Kepler stars. Further analyses of the LAMOST-Gaia-Kepler catalog demonstrate that our derived kinematic age reveals the expected stellar activity-age trend. Furthermore, we find that the fraction of thin (thick) disk stars increases (decreases) with the transiting planet multiplicity (N_p_=0,1,2 and3+) and the kinematic age decreases with N_p_, which could be a consequence of the dynamical evolution of planetary architecture with age. The LAMOST-Gaia-Kepler catalog will be useful for future studies on the correlations between the exoplanet distributions and the stellar Galactic environments as well as ages.

- Description:
- In order to exhume the buried signatures of "missing planetary caustics" in Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) data, we conducted a systematic anomaly search of the residuals from point-source point-lens fits, based on a modified version of the KMTNet EventFinder algorithm. This search revealed the lowest-mass-ratio planetary caustic to date in the microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-1053, for which the planetary signal had not been noticed before. The planetary system has a planet-host mass ratio of q=(1.25{+/-}0.13)x10^-5^. A Bayesian analysis yielded estimates of the mass of the host star, M_host_=0.61_-0.24_^+0.29^M{sun}, the mass of its planet, M_planet_=2.48_-0.98_^+1.19^M{Earth}, the projected planet-host separation, a_perp_=3.4_-0.5_^+0.5^au, and the lens distance, D_L_=6.8_-0.9_^+0.6^kpc. The discovery of this very-low-mass-ratio planet illustrates the utility of our method and opens a new window for a large and homogeneous sample to study the microlensing planet-host mass ratio function down to q~10^-5^.

- Description:
- The size of the dust torus in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and their high-luminosity counterparts, quasars, can be inferred from the time delay between UV/optical accretion disk continuum variability and the response in the mid-infrared (MIR) torus emission. This dust reverberation mapping (RM) technique has been successfully applied to ~70 z<~0.3 AGNs and quasars. Here we present first results of our dust RM program for distant quasars covered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 region combining ~20yr ground-based optical light curves with 10yr MIR light curves from the WISE satellite. We measure a high-fidelity lag between W1 band (3.4{mu}m) and g band for 587 quasars over 0.3<~z<~2 (<z>~0.8) and two orders of magnitude in quasar luminosity. They tightly follow (intrinsic scatter ~0.17dex in lag) the IR lag-luminosity relation observed for z<0.3 AGNs, revealing a remarkable size-luminosity relation for the dust torus over more than four decades in AGN luminosity, with little dependence on additional quasar properties such as Eddington ratio and variability amplitude. This study motivates further investigations in the utility of dust RM for cosmology and strongly endorses a compelling science case for the combined 10yr Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (optical) and 5yr Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope 2{mu}m light curves in a deep survey for low-redshift AGN dust RM with much lower luminosities and shorter, measurable IR lags. The compiled optical and MIR light curves for 7384 quasars in our parent sample are made public with this work.

- Description:
- With a planet-host mass ratio q=0.012{+/-}0.001, KMT-2016-BLG-2605 has the shortest Einstein timescale, tE=3.41{+/-}0.13days, of any planetary microlensing event to date. This prompts us to examine the full sample of seven short (tE<7days) planetary events with good q measurements. We find that six have clustered Einstein radii {theta}E=115{+/-}20{mu}as and lens-source relative proper motions {mu}rel~9.5{+/-}2.5mas/yr. For the seventh, these two quantities could not be measured. These distributions are consistent with a Galactic bulge population of very low mass (VLM) hosts near the hydrogen-burning limit. This conjecture could be verified by imaging at first adaptive optics light on next-generation (30m) telescopes. Based on a preliminary assessment of the sample, "planetary" companions (i.e., below the deuterium-burning limit) are divided into "genuine planets," formed in their disks by core accretion, and VLM brown dwarfs, which form like stars. We discuss techniques for expanding the sample, which include taking account of the peculiar "anomaly-dominated" morphology of the KMT-2016-BLG-2605 light curve.

- Description:
- We present observations of ZTF18abfcmjw (SN2019dge), a helium-rich supernova with a fast-evolving light curve indicating an extremely low ejecta mass (~0.33M{sun}) and low kinetic energy (~1.3x1050erg). Early-time (<4days after explosion) photometry reveals evidence of shock cooling from an extended helium-rich envelope of ~0.1M{sun} located ~1.2x1013cm from the progenitor. Early-time HeII line emission and subsequent spectra show signatures of interaction with helium-rich circumstellar material, which extends from >~5x1013cm to >~2x1016cm. We interpret SN2019dge as a helium-rich supernova from an ultra-stripped progenitor, which originates from a close binary system consisting of a mass-losing helium star and a low-mass main-sequence star or a compact object (i.e., a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole). We infer that the local volumetric birth rate of 19dge-like ultra-stripped SNe is in the range of 1400-8200/Gpc^3^/yr (i.e., 2%-12% of core-collapse supernova rate). This can be compared to the observed coalescence rate of compact neutron star binaries that are not formed by dynamical capture.

- Description:
- We present the multiwavelength analysis of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2018hyz (ASASSN-18zj). From follow-up optical spectroscopy, we detect the first unambiguous case of resolved double-peaked Balmer emission in a TDE. The distinct line profile can be well-modeled by a low eccentricity (e~0.1) accretion disk extending out to ~100Rp and a Gaussian component originating from non-disk clouds, though a bipolar outflow origin cannot be completely ruled out. Our analysis indicates that in AT2018hyz, disk formation took place promptly after the most-bound debris returned to pericenter, which we estimate to be roughly tens of days before the first detection. Redistribution of angular momentum and mass transport, possibly through shocks, must occur on the observed timescale of about a month to create the large H{alpha}-emitting disk that comprises <~5% of the initial stellar mass. With these new insights from AT2018hyz, we infer that circularization is efficient in at least some, if not all optically bright, X-ray faint TDEs. In these efficiently circularized TDEs, the detection of double-peaked emission depends on the disk inclination angle and the relative strength of the disk contribution to the non-disk component, possibly explaining the diversity seen in the current sample.

- Description:
- The bubble G15.684-0.29 has a radius of 15.7pc. Its large size indicates that it may have enough time to trigger star formation. We identify 39 dense cold clumps around the bubble from the HI-GAL survey. All of them satisfy the criteria for forming massive stars, and most of them lie in the bubble shell. We identify 19 molecular clumps around the bubble from the 12CO(3-2) survey, all of which are gravitationally bound. We found 9 Class I YSOs, 28 Class II YSOs, and 12 transition disks (TDs) around the bubble. For those young stellar objects (YSOs) located within the bubble boundary, 6 of 7 Class I YSOs lie in the shell, 15 of 22 Class II YSOs lie inside the bubble, and 3 of 5 TDs lie inside the bubble. The dynamical age of G15.684-0.29 in a turbulent medium is ~4Myr, which is much greater than the shell fragmentation time, ~0.82-1.74Myr. We suggest that triggered star formation may be ongoing in the shell of the bubble, and the collect and collapse model may work here. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the radiation-driven implosion model may work on the formation of some YSOs. As we expected, the larger bubble has a much longer dynamical age, but we failed to find a clear age gradient for YSOs around the bubble.

- Description:
- Based on the photometric redshift catalog of Zou+ (2019ApJS..242....8Z), we apply a fast clustering algorithm to identify 540432 galaxy clusters at z<=1 in the DESI legacy imaging surveys, which cover a sky area of about 20000deg^2^. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the false-detection rate of our detecting method is about 3.1%. The total masses of galaxy clusters are derived using a calibrated richness-mass relation that is based on the observations of X-ray emission and the Sunyaev and Zel'dovich effect. The median redshift and mass of our detected clusters are about 0.53 and 1.23x10^14^M_{sun}_, respectively. Comparing with previous clusters identified using the data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey; we can recognize most of them, especially those with high richness. Our catalog will be used for further statistical studies on galaxy clusters and environmental effects on galaxy evolution, etc.

- Description:
- We carry out a systematic study of the density structure of gas in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) in the Galactic center by extracting clumps from the APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy survey at 870{mu}m. We find that the clumps follow a scaling of m={rho}_0_r^3^, which corresponds to a characteristic density of n_H_2__=1.6x10^3^/cm^3^ ({rho}_0_=112M{sun}/pc^3^) with a variation of ~0.5dex, where we assumed a gas-to-dust mass ratio of 100. This characteristic density can be interpreted as the result of thermal pressure equilibrium between the molecular gas and the warm ambient interstellar medium. Such an equilibrium can plausibly be established since shear has approximately the same strength as self-gravity. Our findings may explain the fact that star formation in the CMZ is highly inefficient compared to the rest of the Milky Way disk. We also identify a population of clumps whose densities are two orders of magnitudes higher in the vicinity of the Sgr B2 region, which we propose are produced by collisions between the clumps of lower densities. For these collisions to occur, processes such as compressive tides probably have created the appropriate condition by assembling the clumps together.

- Description:
- Large numbers of low-to-medium-resolution spectra of M-type dwarf stars from both the local Galactic disk and halo are available from various surveys. In order to fully exploit these data, we develop a template-fit method using a set of empirically assembled M dwarf/subdwarf classification templates, based on the measurements of the TiO and CaH molecular bands near 7000{AA}, which are used to classify M dwarfs/subdwarfs by spectral type and metallicity class. We further present a pipeline to automatically determine the effective temperature Teff, metallicity [M/H], {alpha}-element to iron abundance ratio [{alpha}/Fe], and surface gravity logg of M dwarfs/subdwarfs using the latest version of BT-Settl model atmospheres. We apply these methods to a set of low-to-medium-resolution spectra of 1544 high proper-motion ({mu}>=0.4"/yr) M dwarfs/subdwarfs, collected at the MDM observatory, Lick Observatory, Kitt-Peak National Observatory, and Cerro-Tololo Interamerican Observatory.

- Description:
- We present new results concerning the substellar binary population in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). Using the Karhunen-Loeve Image Projection algorithm, we have reprocessed images taken with the IR channel of the Wide Field Camera 3 mounted on the Hubble Space Telescope to unveil faint, close companions in the wings of the stellar point-spread functions. Starting with a sample of 1392 bona fide unsaturated cluster members, we detect 39 close-pair cluster candidates with separation 0.16"-0.77". The primary masses span a range Mp~0.015-1.27M_{sun}_, whereas for the companions we derive Mc~0.004-0.54M_{sun}_. Of these 39 binary systems, 18 were already known, while the remaining 21 are new detections. Correcting for completeness and combining our catalog with previously detected ONC binaries, we obtain an overall binary fraction of 11.5%+/-0.9%. Compared to other star-forming regions, our multiplicity function is ~2 times smaller than, for example, Taurus, while compared to the binaries in the field we obtain comparable values. We analyze the mass functions of the binaries, finding differences between the mass distributions of binaries and single stars and between primary and companion mass distributions. The mass ratio shows a bottom-heavy distribution with median value Mc/Mp~0.25. Overall, our results suggest that ONC binaries may represent a template for the typical population of field binaries, supporting the hypothesis that the ONC may be regarded as a most typical star-forming region in the Milky Way.
