To identify long-period variable (LPV) stars in IC 10—the nearest starburst galaxy of the Local Group—we conducted an optical monitoring survey using the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope with the wide-field camera (WFC) in the i band and V band from 2015 to ...

The Spitzer view of the extragalactic universe [PDF]
The Spitzer Space Telescope was launched in August 2003. Scientists from around the world have applied its orders-of-magnitude gain in imaging and spectroscopic capability to a wide array of topics in extragalactic research.

A Post‐Launch Summary of the Science of NASA's Psyche Mission
Abstract Astronomical observations indicate that asteroid (16) Psyche is a large, high‐density (likely >3,400 kg·m−3), metal‐rich (30–55 vol. %) asteroid. Psyche may be remnant core material or it could be a primordial, undifferentiated metal‐rich object.

Knot a Bad Idea: Testing BLISS Mapping for Spitzer Space Telescope Photometry [PDF]
Much of transiting exoplanet science relies on high-precision photometry. The current generation of instruments can exhibit sensitivity variations greater than the astrophysical signals. For the InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope,

How many Vesta‐like bodies existed in the asteroid belt?
Abstract Asteroid 4 Vesta is typically thought to be the parent body of the HED (howardite, eucrite, and diogenite) meteorites due to spectral similarities. The discovery of asteroids far from Vesta with HED‐like spectra like (1459) Magnya and HED‐like meteorites (e.g., NWA 011) with anomalous oxygen isotopic values compared to typical HEDs is evidence

We present an imaging survey of the Spitzer I star-forming region in NGC 6822 conducted with the NIRCam and MIRI instruments on board JWST. Located at a distance of 490 kpc, NGC 6822 is the nearest non-interacting low-metallicity (∼0.2 Z _⊙ ) dwarf ...

The Spitzer Space Telescope Extragalactic First Look Survey: 24 μm Data Reduction, Catalog, and Source Identification [PDF]
We present the reduction of the 24 μm data obtained during the first cosmological survey performed by the Spitzer Space Telescope. Images of a region of sky at moderately high Galactic latitude (l = 88.°3, b = +34.°9) were obtained on 2003 December 9-11.

Heavy Elements and Electromagnetic Transients from Neutron Star Mergers
Astro‐(physics) has made major leaps forward through the combined information provided by both gravitational waves and electromagnetic emission from the first detected neutron star merger event. This review provides an up‐to‐date overview of today's understanding of neutron star mergers and their electromagnetic emission and it discusses possible ...

We report direct observational evidence for a latitudinal dependence of dust cloud opacity in ultracool dwarfs, indicating that equatorial latitudes are cloudier than polar latitudes.
