    The Distance and Interstellar Sight Line to GX 339-4
    The distance to the black hole binary GX 339-4 remains a topic of debate. We examine high-resolution optical spectra of the Na D lines resolving the velocity...

    The Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud Cluster Reticulum from the K-Band Period-Luminosity-Metallicity Relation of RR Lyrae Stars
    We present new and accurate near-infrared J- and Ks-band data of the Large Magellanic Cloud cluster Reticulum. Data were collected with SOFI at the New...

    The Distance, Mass, and Radius of the Neutron Star in 4U 1608-52
    Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) that show thermonuclear bursts are ideal sources for constraining the equation of state of neutron star matter. The lack of...

    The Distribution of Quiet Sun Magnetic Field Strengths from 0 to 1800 G
    The quiet-Sun photospheric plasma has a variety of magnetic field strengths going from zero to 1800 G. The empirical characterization of these field strengths...

    The Donor of the Black Hole X-Ray Binary MAXI J1820+070
    We estimate the parameters of the donor of the accreting black hole binary MAXI J1820+070. The measured values of the binary period, rotational and radial...

    The Double Subgiant Branch of NGC 1851: The Role of the CNO Abundance
    We explore the possibility that the anomalous split in the subgiant branch (SGB) of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1851 is due to the presence of two...

    The Dust and Molecular Gas in the Brightest Cluster Galaxy in MACS 1931.8-2635
    We present new Atacama Large Millimeter Array observations of the molecular gas and far-infrared continuum around the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the cool...

    The Dust and [C II] Morphologies of Redshift ∼4.5 Sub-millimeter Galaxies at ∼200 pc Resolution: The Absence of Large Clumps in the Interstellar Medium at High-redshift
    We present deep, high-resolution (0.″03, 200 pc) ALMA Band 7 observations covering the dust continuum and [C II] λ157.7 μm emission in four z ∼ 4.4–4.8 sub...

    The Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Nebulae after the Fast Wind
    We explore the dynamics of ionization-bounded planetary nebulae after the termination of the fast stellar wind. When the stellar wind becomes negligible, the...
