    The Vanishing and Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations Project. I. USNO Objects Missing in Modern Sky Surveys and Follow-up Observations of a “Missing Star”
    In this paper we report the current status of a new research program. The primary goal of the “Vanishing and Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations” project is to search for vanishing and appearing sources using existing survey data to find examples of exceptional astrophysical transients. The implications of finding such objects extend

    The Ultra-Diffuse Dwarf Galaxy Crater II
    Crater II is the fourth largest galaxy among the satellites of the Milky Way, only surpassed by the Magellanic Clouds, Sagittarius and the recently discovered Antlia II galaxy. This galaxy lies in the frontier between classical satellites and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. We explore the stellar population of Crater II through both its variable star

    The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog Sixteenth Data Release
    Starting with its earliest Data Releases, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has a long history of producing visually inspected quasar catalogs. Here, we report on the quasar catalog from the sixteenth SDSS Data Release, DR16Q. The catalog comprises more than 750,000 unique quasars, of which 225,000 are new (as compared to the fourteenth data

    The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) I: tracing the kinematics of metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge
    Our Galaxy is known to contain a central boxy/peanut-shaped bulge, yet the importance of a classical, pressure-supported component within the central part of the Milky Way is still being debated. It should be most visible at low metallicity, a regime that has not yet been studied in detail. Using metallicity-sensitive narrow-band photometry, the

    The Pristine Dwarf-Galaxy survey - II. In-depth observational study of the faint Milky Way satellite Sagittarius II
    We present an extensive study of the Sagittarius II (Sgr II) stellar system using MegaCam g and i photometry, narrow-band, metallicity-sensitive calcium H&K doublet photometry and Keck II/DEIMOS multiobject spectroscopy. We derive and refine the Sgr II structural and stellar properties inferred at the time of its discovery. The colour-magnitude

    The Pre-He White Dwarf in the Post-mass Transfer Binary EL CVn
    EL CVn is the prototype of a class of eclipsing binaries that consist of an A- or F-type main-sequence star and a hot, low-mass, pre-He white dwarf (pre-He WD), the stripped down remains of the former mass donor. Here we present the first direct detection and characterization of the spectrum of the pre-He WD in EL CVn that was made possible through
