Charles Beichman, Bjoern Benneke, Heather Knutson +44
This article summarizes a workshop held on March, 2014, on the potential of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to revolutionize our knowledge of the physical properties of exopl…
Semiparametric Joint Modeling to Estimate the Treatment Effect on a Longitudinal Surrogate with Application to Chronic Kidney Disease Trials
Xuan Wang, Jie Zhou, Layla Parast +1
In clinical trials where long follow-up is required to measure the primary outcome of interest, there is substantial interest in using an accepted surrogate outcome that can be mea…
Recovering simulated planet and disk signals using SCALES aperture masking
Mackenzie Lach, Steph Sallum, Ravinder Banyal +29
The Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (SCALES) instrument is a lenslet-based integral field spectrograph that will operate at 2 to 5 microns, imagin…
Interpretational challenges of the Win Ratio in analyzing Hierarchical Composite Endpoints in Chronic Kidney Disease
Henrik F. Thomsen, Samvel B. Gasparyan, Julie F. Furberg +7
Win statistics based methods have gained traction as a method for analyzing Hierarchical Composite Endpoints (HCEs) in randomized clinical trials, particularly in cardiovascular an…
A nearby M star with three transiting super-Earths discovered by K2
Ian J. M. Crossfield, Erik Petigura, Joshua Schlieder +24
Small, cool planets represent the typical end-products of planetary formation. Studying the archi- tectures of these systems, measuring planet masses and radii, and observing these…
High Resolution Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of FUors and FUor-like stars
Tom Greene, Colin Aspin, Bo Reipurth
We present new high resolution (R=18,000) near-infrared spectroscopic observations of a sample of classical FU Orionis stars (FUors) and other young stars with FUor characteristics…
Thermal Emission and Tidal Heating of the Heavy and Eccentric Planet XO-3b
Pavel Machalek, Tom Greene, Peter R. McCullough +5
We determined the flux ratios of the heavy and eccentric planet XO-3b to its parent star in the four IRAC bands of the Spitzer Space Telescope: 0.101% +- 0.004% at 3.6 micron; 0.14…
Water Clouds in Y Dwarfs and Exoplanets
Caroline V. Morley, Mark S. Marley, Jonathan J. Fortney +4
