    Discovery of the Massive Overcontact Binary VFTS352: Evidence for Enhanced Internal Mixing
    The contact phase expected to precede the coalescence of two massive stars is poorly characterized due to the paucity of observational constraints. Here we...

    Discovery of the Third Transient X-Ray Binary in the Galactic Globular Cluster Terzan 5
    We report and study the outburst of a new transient X-ray binary (XRB) in Terzan 5, the third detected in this globular cluster, Swift J174805.3-244637 or...

    Discovery of Tidal Tails Around the Distant Globular Cluster Palomar 14
    We report the detection of a pair of degree-long tidal tails associated with the globular cluster Palomar 14, using images obtained at the Canada-France-Hawaii...

    Discovery of Two New Thermally Bloated Low-Mass White Dwarfs Among the Kepler Binaries
    We report the discovery of two new low-mass, thermally bloated, hot white dwarfs among the Kepler sample of eclipsing binaries. These are KIC 9164561 and KIC...

    Discovery of Two Pulsating Extremely Low-mass Pre-white Dwarf Candidates in the TESS Eclipsing Binaries
    We report the discovery of two new pulsating extremely low-mass pre-white dwarf (pre-ELMV) candidates in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)...

    Discovery of Two Very Low Mass Binaries: Final Results of an Adaptive Optics Survey of Nearby M6.0-M7.5 Stars
    We present updated results of a high-resolution, magnitude-limited (Ks 0.8, ΔKs 20 AU), very low mass (VLM; Mtot ~3 AU and mass ratios q>~0.6. Within these...
