Technology has, without doubt, expanded our understanding of space. The Voyager 1 space probe is on the brink of leaving our solar system. Massive telescopes have discovered blasts of fast radio bursts from 10 billion light years away. And after a de...
3 days ago · OutDaughtered stars Adam and Danielle Busby just shared some huge family news—they’ve decided to homeschool their quintuplets during the upcoming sixth grade school year.
The red and yellow hypergiants are a rare and important phase in the evolution of the most massive stars that can reach the cool part of the HR Diagram. The hypergiant phase is commonly characterized by high, often episodic mass-loss rates and signif...
In this brief proceedings article I summarize the review talk I gave at the IAU 246 meeting in Capri, Italy, glossing over the well-known results from the literature, but paying particular attention to new, previously unpublished material. This new...
Recent discoveries of gravitational wave (GW) signals from astrophysical compact binary systems of neutron stars and black holes have firmly established them as prime sources for advanced GW detectors. Theoretical templates of expected signals from s...
Core-collapse supernovae are among the most magnificent events in the observable universe. They produce many of the chemical elements necessary for life to exist and their remnants -- neutron stars and black holes -- are interesting astrophysical obj...
Following procedures pioneered by Castor, Abbott & Klein (1975, [CAK]), spherically-symmetric supersonic winds for O stars are computed for matching to plane-parallel moving reversing layers (RL's) from Paper I (Lucy 2007). In contrast to a CAK win...
All 25 Lick/IDS spectral indices have been computed for the integrated light of simple stellar populations over broad ranges of age and metallicity and with effects from horizontal-branch stars fully implemented. For Balmer indices a significant re...
They usually have pretty awesome base stats and I've got more than a few good bannermen and 2H killers out of them. But the -15% xp feels pretty crippling unless you get someone with a lot of stars a...

The High Cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) aims to discover and study transient objects with characteristic timescales between hours and days, such as pulsating, eclipsing and exploding stars. This survey represents a unique laboratory to explore large...

Years, and the 2020 sequel series. He has appeared in numerous projects since, including the third season of Dancing with the Stars and as host for the
K-band spectra of young stellar candidates in four southern hemisphere clusters have been obtained with the near-infrared spectrograph GNIRS in Gemini South. The clusters are associated with IRAS sources that have colours characteristic of ultracom...
In Kato et al. (2019, arXiv:1909.00910), I reported on a double outburst and rebrightenings in 2018 in V544 Her. Such a phenomenon is usually observed in WZ Sge stars which evolved after the period bounce and the colors of V544 Her in quiescence appa...
Scentional Salutation to all my soothsayers, sage, saphic shera and celestial stars! Why do I need to write this post? because y'all [clary sage](https://i.imgur.com/pIbJn3V.jpg) is growing on me a...
