The Luminosity of SN 1999by in NGC 2841 and the nature of `peculiar' Type Ia supernovae
- P. Garnavich, A. Bonanos, +9 authors W. Freedman
- Physics
- 28 May 2001
We present UBVRIJHK photometry and optical spectroscopy of the so-called peculiar Type Ia supernova 1999by in NGC 2841. The observations began 1 week before visual maximum light, which is well… Expand
Spitzer SAGE Infrared Photometry of Massive Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
- A. Bonanos, D. Massa, +11 authors B. Whitney
- Physics
- 8 May 2009
We present a catalog of 1750 massive stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with accurate spectral types compiled from the literature, and a photometric catalog for a subset of 1268 of these… Expand
WR 20a Is an Eclipsing Binary: Accurate Determination of Parameters for an Extremely Massive Wolf-Rayet System
- A. Bonanos, K. Z. Stanek, +7 authors I. Soszyński
- Physics
- 18 May 2004
We present a high-precision I-band light curve for the Wolf-Rayet binary WR 20a, obtained as a subproject of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Rauw et al. have recently presented… Expand
The First DIRECT Distance Determination to a Detached Eclipsing Binary in M33
- A. Bonanos, K. Stanek, +12 authors G. Torres
- Physics
- 12 June 2006
We present the first direct distance determination to a detached eclipsing binary in M33, which was found by the DIRECT Project. Located in the OB 66 association at coordinates (alpha,… Expand
The 2008 luminous optical transient in the nearby galaxy NGC 300
- H. Bond, L. Bedin, +8 authors U. StonyBrook
- Physics
- 1 January 2009
A luminous optical transient (OT) that appeared in NGC 300 in early 2008 had a maximum brightness, M_V ~ -12 to -13, intermediate between classical novae and supernovae. We present ground-based… Expand
Spitzer SAGE-SMC Infrared Photometry of Massive Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
- A. Bonanos, D. Lennon, +18 authors B. Whitney
- Physics
- 6 April 2010
We present a catalog of 5324 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), with accurate spectral types compiled from the literature, and a photometric catalog for a subset of 3654 of these… Expand
Variability of Young Massive Stars in the Galactic Super Star Cluster Westerlund 1
- A. Bonanos
- Physics
- 23 February 2007
This paper presents the first optical variability study of the Westerlund 1 super star cluster in search of massive eclipsing binary systems. A total of 129 new variable stars have been identified,… Expand

- Physics
- 10 January 2011
This Letter presents the first distance measurement to the massive, semi-detached, eclipsing binary LMC-SC1-105, located in the LH 81 association of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Previously… Expand
Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally Stripped, Low Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud (SAGE-SMC). I. Overview
- K. Gordon, M. Meixner, +57 authors D. Zaritsky
- Physics
- 21 July 2011
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) provides a unique laboratory for the study of the lifecycle of dust given its low metallicity (~1/5 solar) and relative proximity (~60 kpc). This motivated the… Expand
