Kepler-4b: Hot Neptune-Like Planet of a G0 Star Near Main-Sequence Turnoff

William J. Borucki, Davig G. Koch, Timothy M. Brown +16

Early time-series photometry from NASA's Kepler spacecraft has revealed a planet transiting the star we term Kepler-4, at RA = 19h02m27.68s, Dec = +50:08:08.7. The planet has an or…

Extragalactic Fields Optimized for Adaptive Optics

Ivana Damjanov, Roberto G. Abraham, Karl Glazebrook +9

In this paper we present the coordinates of 67 55' x 55' patches of sky which have the rare combination of both high stellar surface density (>0.5 arcmin^{-2} with 13<R<16.5 mag) a…

Proper Motion Study of the Magellanic Clouds using SPM material

Katherine Vieira, Terrence Girard, William van Altena +6

Absolute proper motions are determined for stars and galaxies to V=17.5 over a 450 square-degree area that encloses both Magellanic Clouds. The proper motions are based on photogra…
