      The first stars are predicted to have formed within 200 million years after the Big Bang, initiating the cosmic dawn. A true first star has not yet been discovered, although stars with tiny amounts of elements heavier than ...
    • The influence of binarity on dust obscuration events in the planetary nebula M 2-29 and its analogues 

      Miszalski, B.; Mikolajewska, J.; Koppen, K.; Rauch, T.; Acker, A.; Cohen, M.; Frew, D.J.; Moffat, A.F.J.; Parker, Q.A.; Jones, A.F.; Udalski, A. (2011)
      The central star of the planetary nebula (CSPN) M 2-29 shows an extraordinary R Coronae Borealis-like fading event in its optical lightcurve. The only other CSPN to show these events are CPD−56◦8032 (Hen 3-1333) and V651 ...

      We present the first microlensing candidate for a free-floating exoplanet-exomoon system, MOA-2011-BLG-262, with a primary lens mass of M host ∼ 4 Jupiter masses hosting a sub-Earth mass moon. The argument for an exomoon ...
    • V346 Nor: the post-outburst life of a peculiar young eruptive star 

      Kóspál, Á.; Szabó, Zs M.; Ábrahám, P.; Kraus, S.; Takami, M.; Lucas, P. W.; Peña, C. Contreras; Udalski, A. (2020-02-03)
      FU Orionis-type objects (FUors) are young low-mass stars undergoing powerful accretion outbursts. The increased accretion is often accompanied by collimated jets and energetic, large-scale molecular outflows. The extra ...
    • The VMC survey II : A multi-wavelength study of LMC planetary nebulae and their mimics 

      Miszalski, Brent; Napiwotzki, Ralf; Cioni, M-R.L.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; Oliveira, J.M.; Udalski, A. (2011)
      The VISTA Magellanic Cloud (VMC) survey is assembling a deep, multi-epoch atlas of Y JKs photometry across the Magellanic Clouds. Prior to the VMC survey only the brightest Magellanic Cloud PNe (MCPNe) were accessible at ...
