OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb: First Spitzer Bulge Planet Lies Near the Planet/Brown-Dwarf Boundary
Y. -H. Ryu, J. C. Yee, A. Udalski +106
We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the Galactic bulge/bar, an assignation that can be confirmed by two…
The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer Book 2018
Alexis Hill, Nicolas Flagey, Alan McConnachie +122
(Abridged) This is the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer 2018 book. It is intended as a concise reference guide to all aspects of the scientific and technical design of MSE, for the…
OGLE-2018-BLG-0532Lb: Cold Neptune With Possible Jovian Sibling
Yoon-Hyun Ryu, Andrzej Udalski, Jennifer C. Yee +34
We report the discovery of the planet OGLE-2018-BLG-0532Lb, with very obvious signatures in the light curve that lead to an estimate of the planet-host mass ratio $q=M_{\rm planet}…
Evidence for a Universal Slope of the Period-Luminosity Relation from Direct Distances to Cepheids in the LMC
Wolfgang Gieren, Jesper Storm, Thomas G. Barnes +3
We have applied the infrared surface brightness (ISB) technique to derive distances to 13 Cepheid variables in the LMC which have periods from 3-42 days. The corresponding absolute…
Infrared Surface Brightness Distances to Cepheids: a comparison of Bayesian and linear-bisector calculations
Thomas G. Barnes, Jesper Storm, William H. Jefferys +2
We have compared the results of Bayesian statistical calculations and linear-bisector calculations for obtaining Cepheid distances and radii by the infrared surface brightness meth…
The effect of metallicity on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation from a Baade-Wesselink analysis of Cepheids in the Galaxy and in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Jesper Storm, Bruce W. Carney, Wolfgang P. Gieren +3
(ABRIDGED) We have applied the near-IR Barnes-Evans realization of the Baade-Wesselink method as calibrated by Fouque & Gieren (1997) to five metal-poor Cepheids with periods betwe…
