Red variables in the OGLE-II database. II. Comparison of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds
L. L. Kiss, T. Bedding
We present period-luminosity relations for more than 3,200 red variable stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud observed in the second phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experi…
The Science Case for PILOT I: Summary and Overview
J. S. Lawrence, M. C. B. Ashley, J. Bailey +40
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5 m optical/infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau. Conditions at D…
The Science Case for PILOT III: the Nearby Universe
J. S. Lawrence, M. C. B. Ashley, J. Bailey +20
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope is a proposed 2.5 m optical/infrared telescope to be located at DomeC on the Antarctic plateau. The atmospheric c…
The Kepler-SEP Mission: Harvesting the South Ecliptic Pole large-amplitude variables with Kepler
R. Szabó, L. Molnár, Z. KoÅaczkowski +28
As a response to the white paper call, we propose to turn Kepler to the South Ecliptic Pole (SEP) and observe thousands of large amplitude variables for years with high cadence in…
A 6.3-h superhump in the cataclysmic variable TV Columbae: the longest yet seen
A. Retter, C. Hellier, T. Augusteijn +5
We present results from a two week multi-longitude photometric campaign on TV Col held in 2001 January. The data confirm the presence of a permanent positive superhump found in re-…
Red variables in the OGLE-II database. I. Pulsations and period-luminosity relations below the tip of the Red Giant Branch of the LMC
L. L. Kiss, T. Bedding
We present period-luminosity relations for more than 23,000 red giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud observed by the OGLE-II microlensing project. The OGLE period values were combi…
Detection of negative superhumps in a LMXRB -- an end to the long debate on the nature of V1405 Aql (X1916-053)
A. Retter, Y. Chou, T. Bedding
The detection of two similar periodicities (3001 and 3028 s) in the light curve of V1405 Aql, a low mass X-ray Binary (LMXRB), has attracted the attention of many observers. Two ba…
Oscillations in Arcturus from WIRE photometry
A. Retter, T. Bedding, D. L. Buzasi +2
Observations of the red giant Arcturus (Alpha Boo) obtained with the star tracker on the Wide Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) satellite during a baseline of 19 successive days in 20…
Detection of negative superhumps in a LMXRB -- an end to the long debate on the nature of V1405 Aql (X1916-053)
A. Retter, Y. Chou, T. Bedding
Two similar periodicities (3001 and 3028 s) are known from the X-ray and optical light curves of V1405 Aql, a low mass X-ray Binary (LMXRB). Two competing models have been offered…
