- Description:
- We report the discovery of a transiting exoplanet, KELT-11b, orbiting the bright (V=8.0) subgiant HD93396. A global analysis of the system shows that the host star is an evolved subgiant star with T_eff_=5370+/-51K, M_*_=1.438_-0.052_^+0.061^M_{Sun}_, R_*_=2.72_-0.17_^+0.21^R_{Sun}_, logg_*_=3.727_-0.046_^+0.040^, and [Fe/H]=0.180+/-0.075. The planet is a low-mass gas giant in a P=4.736529+/-0.00006 day orbit, with M_P_=0.195+/-0.018M_J_, R_P_=1.37_-0.12_^+0.15^R_J_, {rho}_P_=0.093_-0.024_^+0.028^g/cm^3^, surface gravity logg_P_=2.407_-0.086_^+0.080^, and equilibrium temperature T_eq_=1712_-46_^+51^K. KELT-11 is the brightest known transiting exoplanet host in the southern hemisphere by more than a magnitude and is the sixth brightest transit host to date. The planet is one of the most inflated planets known, with an exceptionally large atmospheric scale height (2763km), and an associated size of the expected atmospheric transmission signal of 5.6%. These attributes make the KELT-11 system a valuable target for follow-up and atmospheric characterization, and it promises to become one of the benchmark systems for the study of inflated exoplanets.

- Description:
- We present the spectroscopic and photometric observations on the Be/X-ray binary RX J0440.9+4431 from 2001 to 2014. The short-term and long-term variability of the H{alpha} line profile indicates that one-armed global oscillations existed in the circumstellar disk. Several positive and negative correlations between the V-band brightness and the H{alpha} intensity were found from the long-term photometric and spectroscopic observations. We suggest that the monotonic increase of the V-band brightness and the H{alpha} brightness between our 2005 and 2007 observations might be the result of a continuous mass ejection from the central Be star, while the negative correlation in 2007-2010 should be caused by the cessation of mass loss from the Be star just before the decline in V-band brightness began (around our 2007 observations). With the extension of the ejection material, the largest circumstellar disk during the last two decades has been observed in our 2010 observations with an equivalent width of approximately -12.88{AA}, which corresponds to a circumstellar disk with a size of 12.9 times the radius of the central Be star. Three consecutive X-ray outbursts peaking around MJD 55293, 55444, and 55591 might be connected with the largest circumstellar disk around the Be star. We also use the orbital motion of the neutron star as a probe to constrain the structure of the circumstellar disk and estimate the eccentricity of the binary system to be >=0.4. After three years of the H{alpha} intensity decline after the X-ray outbursts, a new circumstellar disk was being formed around the Be star after our 2013 observations.

- Description:
- Results of observations with the Spitzer, Hubble, GALEX, Chandra, and XMM-Newton space telescopes are presented for the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) merger Markarian 266. The SW (Seyfert 2) and NE (LINER) nuclei reside in galaxies with Hubble types SBb (pec) and S0/a (pec), respectively. Both companions are more luminous than L* galaxies and they are inferred to each contain a {approx}2.5x10^8^M_{sun}_ black hole. Although the nuclei have an observed hard X-ray flux ratio of f_X_(NE)/f_X_(SW)=6.4, Mrk 266 SW is likely the primary source of a bright Fe K{alpha} line detected from the system, consistent with the reflection-dominated X-ray spectrum of a heavily obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN). Optical knots embedded in an arc with aligned radio continuum radiation, combined with luminous H_2_line emission, provide evidence for a radiative bow shock in an AGN-driven outflow surrounding the NE nucleus. A soft X-ray emission feature modeled as shock-heated plasma with T~10^7^K is cospatial with radio continuum emission between the galaxies. Mid-infrared diagnostics provide mixed results, but overall suggest a composite system with roughly equal contributions of AGN and starburst radiation powering the bolometric luminosity. Approximately 120 star clusters have been detected, with most having estimated ages less than 50Myr. Detection of 24{mu}m emission aligned with soft X-rays, radio continuum, and ionized gas emission extending ~34" (20kpc) north of the galaxies is interpreted as ~2x10^7^M_{sun}_ of dust entrained in an outflowing superwind. At optical wavelengths this Northern Loop region is resolved into a fragmented morphology indicative of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in an expanding shell of ionized gas. Mrk 266 demonstrates that the dust "blow-out" phase can begin in a LIRG well before the galaxies fully coalesce during a subsequent ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) phase, and rapid gas consumption in luminous dual AGNs with kiloparsec-scale separations early in the merger process may explain the paucity of detected binary QSOs (with parsec-scale orbital separations) in spectroscopic surveys. An evolutionary sequence is proposed representing a progression from dual to binary AGNs, accompanied by an increase in observed L_x_/L_ir_ ratios by over two orders of magnitude.

- Description:
- Using a magnitude-limited, spectroscopic survey of the X-ray-luminous galaxy cluster MS 1054-03, we isolate 153 cluster galaxies and measure MS 1054's redshift and velocity dispersion to be z=0.8307+/-0.0004 and {sigma}_z_=1156+/-82km/s. The absorption-line, post-starburst ("E+A"), and emission-line galaxies, respectively, make up 63%+/-7%, 15%+/-4%, and 23%+/-4% of the cluster population. With photometry from HST ACS, we find that the absorption-line members define an exceptionally tight red sequence over a span of ~3.5mag in i775: their intrinsic scatter in (V606-i775) color is only 0.048+/-0.008, corresponding to a (U-B)z scatter of 0.041.

- Description:
- We use CCD and photoelectric photometry with Stromgren filters along with medium resolution spectra to investigate NGC 6520, an open cluster very nearly in the direction of the galactic center. We find an age of 60Myr, a distance of 2kpc, and an average reddening E(b-y)=0.295, which increases toward the south. The average heliocentric radial velocity of the B stars is -29km/s, while the velocity of the nearby Barnard 86 is about 0 (heliocentric; -11km/s compared to the LSR). This velocity difference amounts to about 1.8kpc since the cluster formed, implying that it is extremely doubtful NGC6520 is related to Barnard 86.

- Description:
- NP Per is a well-detached, 2.2 day eclipsing binary whose components are both pre-main-sequence stars that are still contracting toward the main-sequence phase of evolution. We report extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations with which we have determined their properties accurately. Their surface temperatures are quite different: 6420+/-90K for the larger F5 primary star and 4540+/-160K for the smaller K5e star. Their masses and radii are 1.3207+/-0.0087 solar masses and 1.372+/-0.013 solar radii for the primary, and 1.0456+/-0.0046 solar masses and 1.229+/-0.013 solar radii for the secondary. The orbital period is variable over long periods of time. A comparison of the observations with current stellar evolution models from MESA indicates that the stars cannot be fit at a single age: the secondary appears significantly younger than the primary. If the stars are assumed to be coeval and to have the age of the primary (17Myr), then the secondary is larger and cooler than predicted by current models. The H{alpha} spectral line of the secondary component is completely filled by, presumably, chromospheric emission due to a magnetic activity cycle.

- Description:
- We present a comprehensive review of all observations of the eclipsing recurrent Nova LMC 1968 in the Large Magellanic Cloud which was previously observed in eruption in 1968, 1990, 2002, 2010, and most recently in 2016. We derive a probable recurrence time of 6.2+/-1.2yr and provide the ephemerides of the eclipse. In the ultraviolet-optical-IR photometry the light curve shows high variability right from the first observation around 2 d after eruption. Therefore no colour changes can be substantiated. Outburst spectra from 2016 and 1990 are very similar and are dominated by H and He lines longward of 2000{AA}. Interstellar reddening is found to be E(B-V)=0.07+/-0.01. The super soft X-ray luminosity is lower than the Eddington luminosity and the X-ray spectra suggest the mass of the white dwarf (WD) is larger than 1.3M_{sun}_. Eclipses in the light curve suggest that the system is at high orbital inclination. On day 4 after the eruption a recombination wave was observed in FeII ultraviolet absorption lines. Narrow-line components are seen after day 6 and explained as being due to reionization of ejecta from a previous eruption. The UV spectrum varies with orbital phase, in particular a component of the HeII 1640{AA} emission line, which leads us to propose that early-on the inner WD Roche lobe might be filled with a bound opaque medium prior to the re-formation of an accretion disc. Both this medium and the ejecta can cause the delay in the appearance of the soft X-ray source.

- Description:
- We present extensive optical observations of a Type IIn supernova (SN IIn) 2010jl for the first 1.5years after its discovery. The UBVRI light curves demonstrated an interesting two-stage evolution during the nebular phase, which almost flatten out after about 90days from the optical maximum. SN 2010jl has one of the highest intrinsic H{alpha} luminosities ever recorded for an SN IIn, especially at late phase, suggesting a strong interaction of SN ejecta with the dense circumstellar material (CSM) ejected by the progenitor. This is also indicated by the remarkably strong Balmer lines persisting in the optical spectra. One interesting spectral evolution about SN 2010jl is the appearance of asymmetry of the Balmer lines. These lines can be well decomposed into a narrow component and an intermediate-width component. The intermediate-width component showed a steady increase in both strength and blueshift with time until t~400days after maximum, but it became less blueshifted at t~500days, when the line profile appeared relatively symmetric again. Owing to the fact that a pure reddening effect will lead to a sudden decline of the light curves and a progressive blueshift of the spectral lines, we therefore propose that the asymmetric profiles of H lines seen in SN 2010jl are unlikely due to the extinction by newly formed dust inside the ejecta, contrary to the explanation by some early studies. Based on a simple CSM-interaction model, we speculate that the progenitor of SN 2010jl may suffer a gigantic mass loss (~30-50M_{sun}_) a few decades before explosion. Considering a slow-moving stellar wind (e.g.,~28km/s) inferred for the preexisting, dense CSM shell and the extremely high mass-loss rate (1-2M_{sun}_/yr), we suggest that the progenitor of SN 2010jl might have experienced a red supergiant stage and may explode finally as a post-red supergiant star with an initial mass above 30-40M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- We present new photometric and spectroscopic data of the old open cluster Czernik 30. Wide field BVI photometry allows us to correct for the high field contamination by statistical subtraction to produce a color-magnitude diagram (CMD) that clearly reveals the cluster sequence. From spectra of stars in the cluster field obtained with the Hydra spectrograph on the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO 3.5m telescope we determine a mean cluster velocity of +79.9+/-1.5km/s and provide membership information that helps further define the cluster giant branch and red clump. Stellar abundances for the brighter giants in the cluster indicate a mean metallicity of [Fe/H]=-0.2+/-0.15. Fitting theoretical isochrones to the CMD we determine the following properties of Czernik 30: age=2.8+/-0.3Gyr, (m-M)_v_=14.8+/-0.1, E(B-V)=0.24+/-0.06, and E(V-I)=0.36+/-0.04. Czernik 30 is an old, sub-solar metallicity cluster located at a Galactocentric radius of R_gc_~13.3kpc. Given its age and position just beyond the transition to a flat abundance gradient seen in the open cluster population, Czernik 30 provides an interesting target for future observations.

- Description:
- We report extensive high-resolution spectroscopic observations and V-band differential photometry of the slightly eccentric 7.02day detached eclipsing binary V501 Mon (A6m+F0), which we use to determine its absolute dimensions to high precision (0.3% for the masses and 1.8% for the radii, or better). The absolute masses, radii, and temperatures are M_A_=1.6455+/-0.0043M_{sun}_, R_A_=1.888+/-0.029R_{sun}_, and T_eff_^A^=7510+/-100K for the primary and M_B_=1.4588+/-0.0025M_{sun}_, R_B_=1.592+/-0.028R_{sun}_, and T_eff_^B^=7000+/-90K for the secondary. Apsidal motion has been detected, to which General Relativity contributes approximately 70%. The primary star is found to be a metallic-line A star. A detailed chemical analysis of the disentangled spectra yields abundances for more than a dozen elements in each star. Based on the secondary, the system metallicity is near solar: [Fe/H]=+0.01+/-0.06. Lithium is detected in the secondary but not in the primary. A comparison with current stellar evolution models shows a good match to the measured properties at an age of about 1.1Gyr.
