Magnetic Activity Cycles in the Exoplanet Host Star epsilon Eridani

T. S. Metcalfe, A. P. Buccino, B. P. Brown +7

The active K2 dwarf epsilon Eri has been extensively characterized, both as a young solar analog and more recently as an exoplanet host star. As one of the nearest and brightest st…

Spiral Arms in the Asymmetrically Illuminated Disk of MWC 758 and Constraints on Giant Planets

C. A. Grady, T. Muto, J. Hashimoto +71

We present the first near-IR scattered light detection of the transitional disk associated with the Herbig Ae star MWC 758 using data obtained as part of the Strategic Exploration…

Characterizing two solar-type Kepler subgiants with asteroseismology: KIC10920273 and KIC11395018

G. Dogan, T. S. Metcalfe, S. Deheuvels +27

Determining fundamental properties of stars through stellar modeling has improved substantially due to recent advances in asteroseismology. Thanks to the unprecedented data quality…

Fundamental Properties of Stars using Asteroseismology from Kepler & CoRoT and Interferometry from the CHARA Array

D. Huber, M. J. Ireland, T. R. Bedding +37

We present results of a long-baseline interferometry campaign using the PAVO beam combiner at the CHARA Array to measure the angular sizes of five main-sequence stars, one subgiant…

Verifying asteroseismically determined parameters of Kepler stars using hipparcos parallaxes: self-consistent stellar properties and distances

V. Silva Aguirre, L. Casagrande, S. Basu +24

Accurately determining the properties of stars is of prime importance for characterizing stellar populations in our Galaxy. The field of asteroseismology has been thought to be par…

Gas emissions in Planck cold dust clumps---A Survey of the J=1-0 Transitions of CO, CO, and CO

Yuefang Wu, Tie Liu, Fanyi Meng +3

A survey toward 674 Planck cold clumps of the Early Cold Core Catalogue (ECC) in the J=1-0 transitions of CO, CO and CO has been carried out using the PMO 13.7…

High-Resolution Near-Infrared Polarimetry of a Circumstellar Disk around UX Tau A

Ryoko Tanii, Yoichi Itoh, Tomoyuki Kudo +65

We present H-band polarimetric imagery of UX Tau A taken with HiCIAO/AO188 on the Subaru Telescope. UX Tau A has been classified as a pre-transitional disk object, with a gap struc…

High-Contrast NIR Polarization Imaging of MWC480

N. Kusakabe, C. A. Grady, M. L. Sitko +52

One of the key predictions of modeling from the IR excess of Herbig Ae stars is that for protoplanetary disks, where significant grain growth and settling has occurred, the dust di…

First Science Observations with SOFIA/FORCAST: 6 TO 37 micron Imaging of Orion BN/KL

James M. De Buizer, Mark R. Morris, E. E. Becklin +5

The BN/KL region of the Orion Nebula is the nearest region of high mass star formation in our galaxy. As such, it has been the subject of intense investigation at a variety of wave…
