- Description:
- We report the discovery of HAT-P-27b, an exoplanet transiting the moderately bright G8 dwarf star GSC 0333-00351 (V=12.214). The orbital period is 3.039586+/-0.000012 days, the reference epoch of transit is 2455186.01879+/-0.00054 (BJD), and the transit duration is 0.0705+/-0.0019 days. The host star with its effective temperature 5300+/-90K is somewhat cooler than the Sun and is more metal-rich with a metallicity of +0.29+/-0.10. Its mass is 0.94+/-0.04M_{sun}_ and radius is 0.90^+0.05^_-0.04_R_{sun}_. For the planetary companion we determine a mass of 0.660+/-0.033M_J_ and radius of 1.038^+0.077^_-0.058_R_J_. For the 30 known transiting exoplanets between 0.3M_J_ and 0.8M_J_, a negative correlation between host star metallicity and planetary radius and an additional dependence of planetary radius on equilibrium temperature are confirmed at a high level of statistical significance.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of HATS-1b, a transiting extrasolar planet orbiting the moderately bright V=12.05 G dwarf star GSC 6652-00186, and the first planet discovered by HATSouth, a global network of autonomous wide-field telescopes. HATS-1b has a period of P{approx}3.4465days, mass of M_p_{approx}1.86M_J_, and radius of R_p_{approx}1.30R_J_. The host star has a mass of 0.99M_{sun}_ and radius of 1.04R_{sun}_. The discovery light curve of HATS-1b has near-continuous coverage over several multi-day timespans, demonstrating the power of using a global network of telescopes to discover transiting planets.

- Description:
- We present the results of optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared observations of M101 OT2015-1 (PSN J14021678+5426205), a luminous red transient in the Pinwheel galaxy (M101), spanning a total of 16 years. The light curve showed two distinct peaks with absolute magnitudes M_r_<=-12.4 and M_r_~-12, on 2014 November 11 and 2015 February 17, respectively. The spectral energy distributions during the second maximum show a cool outburst temperature of ~3700K and low expansion velocities (~-300km/s) for the HI, CaII, BaII, and KI lines. From archival data spanning 15-8 years before the outburst, we find a single source consistent with the optically discovered transient, which we attribute to being the progenitor; it has properties consistent with being an F-type yellow supergiant with L~8.7x10^4^L_{sun}_, T_eff_~7000K, and an estimated mass of M1=18+/-1M_{sun}_. This star has likely just finished the H-burning phase in the core, started expanding, and is now crossing the Hertzsprung gap. Based on the combination of observed properties, we argue that the progenitor is a binary system, with the more evolved system overfilling the Roche lobe. Comparison with binary evolution models suggests that the outburst was an extremely rare phenomenon, likely associated with the ejection of the common envelope of a massive star. The initial mass of the primary fills the gap between the merger candidates V838 Mon (5-10M_{sun}_) and NGC 4490-OT (30M_{sun}_).

- Description:
- On 2011 May 31 UT a supernova (SN) exploded in the nearby galaxy M51 (the Whirlpool Galaxy). We discovered this event using small telescopes equipped with CCD cameras and also detected it with the Palomar Transient Factory survey, rapidly confirming it to be a Type II SN. Here, we present multi-color ultraviolet through infrared photometry which is used to calculate the bolometric luminosity and a series of spectra. Our early-time observations indicate that SN 2011dh resulted from the explosion of a relatively compact progenitor star. Rapid shock-breakout cooling leads to relatively low temperatures in early-time spectra, compared to explosions of red supergiant stars, as well as a rapid early light curve decline. Optical spectra of SN 2011dh are dominated by H lines out to day 10 after explosion, after which HeI lines develop. This SN is likely a member of the cIIb (compact IIb) class, with progenitor radius larger than that of SN 2008ax and smaller than the eIIb (extended IIb) SN 1993J progenitor. Our data imply that the object identified in pre-explosion Hubble Space Telescope images at the SN location is possibly a companion to the progenitor or a blended source, and not the progenitor star itself, as its radius (~10^13^cm) would be highly inconsistent with constraints from our post-explosion spectra.

- Description:
- We report the outbursting source PTF 14jg, which, prior to the onset of its late 2013 eruption, was a faint, unstudied, and virtually uncataloged star. The salient features of the PTF 14jg outburst are (i) projected location near the W4 HII region and radial velocity consistent with physical association; (ii) a light curve that underwent an ~6-7mag optical (R-band) through mid-infrared (L-band) brightening on a timescale of a few months, peaked and then faded by ~3mag, but plateaued still >3.5mag above quiescence by ~8 months post-peak, lasting to at least 4yr after eruption; (iii) strong outflow signatures with velocities reaching -530km/s; (iv) a low-gravity and broad (~100-150km/s FWHM) optical absorption-line spectrum that systematically changes its spectral type with wavelength; (v) lithium; and (vi) ultraviolet and infrared excess. We tentatively identify the outburst as exhibiting characteristics of a young star FU Ori event. However, the burst would be unusually hot, with an absorption spectrum exhibiting high-excitation (~11000-15000K) lines in the optical and no evidence of CO in the near-infrared, in addition to exhibiting an unusual light curve. We thus also consider alternative scenarios-including various forms of novae, nuclear-burning instabilities, massive star events, and mergers-finding them all inferior to the atypically hot FU Ori star classification. The source eventually may be interpreted as a new category of young star outburst with a larger amplitude and shorter rise time than most FU Ori-like events.

- Description:
- Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that show strong rest-frame optical/UV variability in their blue continuum and broad line emission are classified as changing-look AGN, or at higher luminosities, changing-look quasars (CLQs). These surprisingly large and sometimes rapid transitions challenge accepted models of quasar physics and duty cycles, offer several new avenues for study of quasar host galaxies, and open a wider interpretation of the cause of differences between broad and narrow-line AGN. To better characterize extreme quasar variability, we present follow-up spectroscopy as part of a comprehensive search for CLQs across the full Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) footprint using spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the SDSS DR7 catalog. Our primary selection requires large-amplitude (|{Delta}g|>1mag, |{Delta}r|>0.5mag) variability over any of the available time baselines probed by the SDSS and Pan-STARRS 1 surveys. We employ photometry from the Catalina Sky Survey to verify variability behavior in CLQ candidates where available, and confirm CLQs using optical spectroscopy from the William Herschel, MMT, Magellan, and Palomar telescopes. For our adopted signal-to-noise ratio threshold on variability of broad H{beta} emission, we find 17 new CLQs, yielding a confirmation rate of >~20%. These candidates are at lower Eddington ratio relative to the overall quasar population, which supports a disk-wind model for the broad line region. Based on our sample, the CLQ fraction increases from 10% to roughly half as the continuum flux ratio between repeat spectra at 3420{AA} increases from 1.5 to 6. We release a catalog of more than 200 highly variable candidates to facilitate future CLQ searches.

- Foreground galaxies toward FRB 190608 from SDSS
- Short Name:

- Description:
- Fast radio burst (FRB) 190608 was detected by the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) and localized to a spiral galaxy at z_host_=0.11778 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) footprint. The burst has a large dispersion measure (DM_FRB_=339.8pc/cm^3^) compared to the expected cosmic average at its redshift. It also has a large rotation measure (RM_FRB_=353rad/m^2^) and scattering timescale ({tau}=3.3ms at 1.28GHz). Chittidi+ (2021ApJ...922..173C) perform a detailed analysis of the ultraviolet and optical emission of the host galaxy and estimate the host DM contribution to be 110+/-37pc/cm^3^. This work complements theirs and reports the analysis of the optical data of galaxies in the foreground of FRB 190608 in order to explore their contributions to the FRB signal. Together, the two studies delineate an observationally driven, end-to-end study of matter distribution along an FRB sightline, the first study of its kind. Combining our Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) observations and public SDSS data, we estimate the expected cosmic dispersion measure DM_cosmic along the sightline to FRB 190608. We first estimate the contribution of hot, ionized gas in intervening virialized halos (DM_halos_~7-28pc/cm^3^). Then, using the Monte Carlo Physarum Machine methodology, we produce a 3D map of ionized gas in cosmic web filaments and compute the DM contribution from matter outside halos (DM_IGM_~91-126pc/cm^3^). This implies that a greater fraction of ionized gas along this sightline is extant outside virialized halos. We also investigate whether the intervening halos can account for the large FRB rotation measure and pulse width and conclude that it is implausible. Both the pulse broadening and the large Faraday rotation likely arise from the progenitor environment or the host galaxy.

- Description:
- This paper is based on the multi-band (ugri) Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) with the VLT Survey Telescope (VST). We study bright early-type galaxies (m_B_<15mag) in the 9 square degrees around the core of the Fornax cluster, which covers the virial radius (R_vir~0.7Mpc). The main goal of the present work is to provide an analysis of the light distribution for all galaxies out to unprecedented limits (in radius and surface brightness) and to release the main products resulting from this analysis in all FDS bands. We give an initial comprehensive view of the galaxy structure and evolution as a function of the cluster environment. From the isophote fit, we derived the azimuthally averaged surface brightness profiles, the position angle, and ellipticity profiles as a function of the semi-major axis. In each band, we derived the total magnitudes, effective radii, integrated colours, and stellar mass-to-light ratios. The long integration times, the arcsec-level angular resolution of OmegaCam@VST, and the large covered area of FDS allow us to map the light and colour distributions out to large galactocentric distances (up to about 10^-15^Re) and surface brightness levels beyond mu_r_=27mag/arcsec^2^ (mu_B_>28mag/arcsec^2^). Therefore, the new FDS data allow us to explore in great detail the morphology and structure of cluster galaxies out to the region of the stellar halo. The analysis presented in this paper allows us to study how the structure of galaxies and the stellar population content vary with the distance from the cluster centre. In addition to the intra-cluster features detected in previous FDS works, we found a new faint filament between FCC 143 and FCC 147, suggesting an ongoing interaction. The observations suggest that the Fornax cluster is not completely relaxed inside the virial radius. The bulk of the gravitational interactions between galaxies happens in the W-NW core region of the cluster, where most of the bright early-type galaxies are located and where the intra-cluster baryons (diffuse light and globular clusters) are found. We suggest that the W-NW sub-clump of galaxies results from an infalling group onto the cluster, which has modified the structure of the galaxy outskirts (making asymmetric stellar halos) and has produced the intra-cluster baryons (ICL and GCs), concentrated in this region of the cluster.
