The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph: On-Orbit Instrument Performance
S. Osterman, J. Green, C. Froning +31
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) was installed in the Hubble Space Telescope in May, 2009 as part of Servicing Mission 4 to provide high sensitivity, medium and low resolution…
Multi-Color Observations of the GRB000926 Afterglow
P. A. Price, F. A. Harrison, T. J. Galama +25
We present multi-color light-curves of the optical afterglow of GRB 000926. Beginning ~1.5 days after the burst, the light-curves of this GRB steepen measurably. The existence of s…
Completing the Census of Exoplanets with the Microlensing Planet Finder (MPF)
David P. Bennett, J. Anderson, J. -P. Beaulieu +17
The MPF mission will provide a statistical census of exoplanets with masses greater than 0.1 Earth-masses and orbital separations ranging from 0.5AU to infinity. This includes anal…
The Microlensing Planet Finder: Completing the Census of Extrasolar Planets in the Milky Way
D. P. Bennett, I. Bond, E. Cheng +21
The Microlensing Planet Finder (MPF) is a proposed Discovery mission that will complete the first census of extrasolar planets with sensitivity to planets like those in our own sol…
Discovery of Two Distant Type Ia Supernovae in the Hubble Deep Field North with the Advanced Camera for Surveys
John P. Blakeslee, Zlatan I. Tsvetanov, Adam G. Riess +30
We present observations of the first two supernovae discovered with the recently installed Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space Telescope. The supernovae were foun…
An Extrasolar Planet Census with a Space-based Microlensing Survey
D. P. Bennett, J. Anderson, J. -P. Beaulieu +14
A space-based gravitational microlensing exoplanet survey will provide a statistical census of exoplanets with masses down to 0.1 Earth-masses and orbital separations ranging from…
A Census of Exoplanets in Orbits Beyond 0.5 AU via Space-based Microlensing
David P. Bennett, J. Anderson, J. -P. Beaulieu +16
A space-based gravitational microlensing exoplanet survey will provide a statistical census of exoplanets with masses greater than 0.1 Earth-masses and orbital separations ranging…
