Searching for Planetary Transits in the Field of Open Cluster NGC 6819 - I
R. A. Street, Keith Horne, T. A. Lister +7
We present results from our survey for planetary transits in the field of the intermediate age (~2.5 Gyr), metal-rich ([Fe/H]~+0.07) open cluster NGC 6819. We have obtained high-pr…
Design and Performance of the SPT-SLIM Receiver Cryostat
M. R. Young, M. Adamic, A. J. Anderson +28
The South Pole Telescope Shirokoff Line Intensity Mapper (SPT-SLIM) is a millimeter-wavelength line-intensity mapping experiment, which was deployed on the South Pole Telescope (SP…
First Light for the First Station of the Long Wavelength Array
G. B. Taylor, S. W. Ellingson, N. E. Kassim +32
The first station of the Long Wavelength Array (LWA1) was completed in April 2011 and is currently performing observations resulting from its first call for proposals in addition t…
Installation Progress At The PIP-II Injector Test At Fermilab
C. Baffes, M. Alvarez, R. Andrews +14
A CW-compatible, pulsed H- superconducting linac "PIP-II" is being planned to upgrade Fermilab's injection complex. To validate the front-end concept, a test accelerator (The PIP-I…
Titan interaction with the supersonic solar wind
C. Bertucci, D. C. Hamilton, W. S. Kurth +5
After 9 years in the Saturn system, the Cassini spacecraft finally observed Titan in the supersonic solar wind. These unique observations reveal that Titan interaction with the sol…
A Survey for Planetary Transits in the Field of NGC 7789
D. M. Bramich, Keith Horne, I. A. Bond +12
We present results from 30 nights of observations of the open cluster NGC 7789 with the WFC camera on the INT telescope in La Palma. From ~900 epochs, we obtained lightcurves and S…
University of St.Andrews Open Cluster Survey for Hot Jupiters
R. A. Street, Keith Horne, A. Collier Cameron +7
We are using the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera to survey open cluster fields for transiting hot Jupiter planets. Clusters were selected on the basis of visibility, richn…
A dearth of planetary transits in the direction of NGC 6940
Ben Hood, Andrew Collier Cameron, Stephen R. Kane +10
We present results of our survey for planetary transits in the field of NGC 6940. We think nearly all of our observed stars are field stars. We have obtained high precision (3-10 m…
GPUs for data processing in the MWA
S. Ord, L. Greenhill, R. Wayth +4
The MWA is a next-generation radio interferometer under construction in remote Western Australia. The data rate from the correlator makes storing the raw data infeasible, so the da…
Ionospheric modelling using GPS to calibrate the MWA. 1: Comparison of first order ionospheric effects between GPS models and MWA observations
B. S. Arora, J. Morgan, S. M. Ord +56
We compare first order (refractive) ionospheric effects seen by the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) with the ionosphere as inferred from Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The f…
The magnetic structure of the subsolar MPB current layer from MAVEN observations: Implications for the Hall electric force
G. Boscoboinik, C. Bertucci, D. Gomez +7
We report on the local structure of the Martian subsolar Magnetic Pileup Boundary (MPB) from minimum variance analysis of the magnetic field measured by the Mars Atmosphere and Vol…
Interchange reconnection as the source of the fast solar wind within coronal holes
S. D. Bale, J. F. Drake, M. D. McManus +13
The fast solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from deep within regions of open magnetic field on the Sun called coronal holes. The energy source responsible for acceler…
The Near-Sun Dust Environment: Initial Observations from Parker Solar Probe
J. R. Szalay, P. Pokorný, S. D. Bale +11
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft has flown into the most dense and previously unexplored region of our solar system's zodiacal cloud. While PSP does not have a dedicated dus…
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder: Performance of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array
D. McConnell, J. R. Allison, K. Bannister +71
We describe the performance of the Boolardy Engineering Test Array (BETA), the prototype for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope ASKAP. BETA is the first ape…
Topological Dependence of Universal Correlations in Multi-Parameter Hamiltonians
D. Mitchell, D. Kusnezov
Universality of correlation functions obtained in parametric random matrix theory is explored in a multi-parameter formalism, through the introduction of a diffusion matrix $D_{ij}…
Recent advances in Ti and Nb explosion welding with stainless steel for 2K operating (ILC Program)- To the proceedings of LCWS11
B. Sabirov, J. Budagov, A. Sissakian +14
The world first samples 0f Ti+SS and Nb+SS joints were manufactured by an explosion welding technology demonstrating a high mechanic properties and leak absence at 4.6 x 10^{-9} at…
