KMT-2022-BLG-0086: Another Binary-lens Binary-source Microlensing Event
We present the analysis of a microlensing event KMT-2022-BLG-0086 of which the overall light curve is not described by a binary-lens single-source (2L1S) model, which suggests the existence of an extra lens or an extra source. We found that the…

Ultradeep Imaging of Nearby Dwarf Irregular Galaxies: Young Objects in the Far Outer Disk
Ultradeep UBVI imaging of 10 nearby (≤7.8 Mpc) noninteracting dwarf irregular galaxies are used to examine their far outer stellar disks. The annulus between 26 mag arcsec−2 and 29 mag arcsec−2 in the V band is what we define as the far…

Two More Bow Shocks and Off-center Hα Nebulae Associated with Nova-like Cataclysmic Variables ∗
We report discoveries of bow-shock nebulae, seen in Hα and [O iii] λ5007, around two cataclysmic variables (CVs): LS Pegasi and ASASSN-V J205457.73+515731.9 (ASASJ2054). Additionally, both stars lie near the edges of faint extended Hα-emitting…
