Description
MWC 148 is a B0pe-type star suspected to be the counterpart of the variable TeV gamma-ray source HESS J0632+057, which also shows variable radio and X-ray emission (Aharonian et al. 2007, A&A, 469, L1; Acciari et al. 2009, ApJ, 698, L94; Hinton et al. 2009, ApJ, 690, L101; Skilton et al. 2009, MNRAS, 399, 317; Falcone et al. 2009, ApJ, 708, L52). MWC 148 is thought to be a gamma-ray binary, although evidence of binarity from radial velocity measurements is still lacking (Aragona et al.

    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on
