An Exceptional Dimming Event for a Massive, Cool Supergiant in M51
J. E. Jencson,David J. Sand,Jennifer E. Andrews,Nathan Smith,Jeniveve Pearson,Jay Strader,Stefano Valenti,Emma R. Beasor,Barry Rothberg +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the discovery of an exceptional dimming event in a supergiant star in the Local Volume spiral M51, dubbed M51-DS1, was found as part of a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) search for failed supernovae.

TL;DR: In this article , the optical spectroscopic evolution of SN~2023ixf seen in sub-night cadence spectra from 1.18 to 14 days after explosion was analyzed.
Physical Conditions in the Homunculus
TL;DR: This article derived a photoionization model of the Homunculus nebula that reproduces many of its observed properties and concluded that observations of the homunculus could address basic problems in the physics of the interstellar medium.

A Revised Historical Light Curve of Eta Carinae and the Timing of Close Periastron Encounters
Nathan Smith,David J. Frew +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report and analyze newly uncovered historical estimates of the visual brightness of etaCar during its eruption, and correct some mistakes in the original record, showing two brief eruptions in 1838 and 1843 that resemble modern supernova impostors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Machine Learning Method to Infer Fundamental Stellar Parameters from Photometric Light Curves
Adam A. Miller,Joshua S. Bloom,Joshua S. Bloom,Joseph W. Richards,Young Sun Lee,D. L. Starr,Nathaniel R. Butler,Susan Tokarz,Nathan Smith,Josh A. Eisner +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a machine learning framework was proposed to infer stellar parameters from photometric-brightness variations and color alone using the SEGUE Stellar Parameters Pipeline (SSPP).
