Cluster AgeS Experiment: The Age and Distance of the Globular Cluster omega Centauri Determined from Observations of the Eclipsing Binary OGLEGC17

I. B. Thompson, J. Kaluzny, W. Pych +5

We use masses, radii, and luminosities of the detached eclipsing binary OGLEGC17 derived from photometric and spectroscopic observations to calculate the age and distance of the gl…

Evidence for solar-like oscillations in beta Hydri

Timothy R. Bedding, R. Paul Butler, Hans Kjeldsen +6

We have made a clear detection of excess power, providing strong evidence for solar-like oscillations in the G2 subgiant beta Hyi. We observed this star over five nights with the U…

A Search for the Damped Ly-alpha Absorber at z=1.86 toward QSO 1244+3443 with NICMOS

Varsha P. Kulkarni, John M. Hill, Glenn Schneider +5

We have carried out a high-resolution imaging search for the galaxy associated with the damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) absorber at z=1.859 toward the z_{em}=2.48 quasar QSO 1244+3443, us…
