Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor Parallaxes of Galactic Cepheid Variable Stars: Period-Luminosity Relations

G. Fritz Benedict, Barbara E. McArthur, Michael W. Feast +6

(abridged) We present new absolute trigonometric parallaxes and relative proper motions for nine Galactic Cepheid variable stars: l Car, zeta Gem, beta Dor, W Sgr, X Sgr, Y Sgr, FF…

Toward Eclipse Mapping of Hot Jupiters

Emily Rauscher, Kristen Menou, Sara Seager +3

Recent Spitzer infrared measurements of hot Jupiter eclipses suggest that eclipse mapping techniques could be used to spatially resolve the day-side photospheric emission of these…

A Survey for Supernovae in Massive High-Redshift Clusters

Keren Sharon, A. Gal-Yam, D. Maoz +12

We describe our ongoing program designed to measure the SN-Ia rate in a sample of massive z=0.5-0.9 galaxy clusters. The SN-Ia rate is a poorly known observable, especially at high…

The Two-dimensional XMM-Newton Group Survey: z<0.012 groups

Alexis Finoguenov, David S. Davis, Marc Zimer +1

We present the results of the 2-dimensional XMM-Newton Group Survey (2dXGS), an archival study of nearby galaxy groups. In this paper we consider eleven nearby systems (z<0.012) in…

Dust Coagulation and Settling in Layered Protoplanetary Disks

Fred J. Ciesla

Previous models of dust growth in protoplanetary disks considered either uniformly laminar or turbulent disks. This Letter explores how dust growth occurs in a layered protoplaneta…

The Host Galaxy of the Quasar HE 0450-2958

Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, Chien Y. Peng +1

A recent study suggests that the quasar HE 0450-2958 is hosted by a galaxy substantially fainter than that inferred from the correlation between black hole mass and bulge luminosit…
