A New Cataclysmic Variable in Hercules
A. Price, B. Gary, J. Bedient +30
We present time-series observations, spectra and archival outburst data of a newly-discovered variable star in Hercules, Var Her 04. Its orbital period, mass ratio, and outburst am…
Discovery of XO-6b: a hot Jupiter transiting a fast rotating F5 star on an oblique orbit
N. Crouzet, P. R. McCullough, D. Long +20
Only a few hot Jupiters are known to orbit around fast rotating stars. These exoplanets are harder to detect and characterize and may be less common than around slow rotators. Here…
A dearth of small particles in the transiting material around the white dwarf WD 1145+017
S. Xu, S. Rappaport, R. van Lieshout +35
White dwarf WD 1145+017 is orbited by several clouds of dust, possibly emanating from actively disintegrating bodies. These dust clouds reveal themselves through deep, broad, and e…
Planetary Transits of TRES-1
A. Price, R. Bissinger, G. Laughlin +15
Observations of TRES-1b transits made during the late summer and fall 2004 observing season reveal a statistically significant but low amplitude brightening event during egress.
On the Search For Transits of the Planets Orbiting Gl 876
P. D. Shankland, E. J. Rivera, G. Laughlin +14
We report the results of a globally coordinated photometric campaign to search for transits by the P ~ 30 d and P ~ 60 d outer planets of the 3-planet system orbiting the nearby M-…
