Dispersion in Neptune's Zonal Wind Velocities from NIR Keck AO Observations in July 2009
Patrick J. Fitzpatrick, Imke de Pater, Statia Luszcz-Cook +2
We report observations of Neptune made in H-(1.4-1.8 μm) and K'-(2.0-2.4 μm) bands on 14 and 16 July 2009 from the 10-m W.M. Keck II Telescope using the near-infrared camera NIRC2…
Neptune at Summer Solstice: Zonal Mean Temperatures from Ground-Based Observations 2003-2007
Leigh N. Fletcher, Imke de Pater, Glenn S. Orton +3
Imaging and spectroscopy of Neptune's thermal infrared emission is used to assess seasonal changes in Neptune's zonal mean temperatures between Voyager-2 observations (1989, helioc…
A Study of the Unusual Z Cam Systems IW Andromedae and V513 Cassiopeia
Paula Szkody, Meagan Albright, Albert P. Linnell +7
The Z Cam stars IW And and V513 Cas are unusual in having outbursts following their standstills in contrast to the usual Z Cam behavior of quiescence following standstills. In orde…
The Intrinsic Extreme Ultraviolet Fluxes of F5 V to M5 V Stars
Jeffrey L. Linsky, Juan Fontenla, Kevin France
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiations (10--117 nm) from host stars play important roles in the ionization, heating, and mass loss from exoplanet atmospheres. Together with the host…
KIC 9406652: An Unusual Cataclysmic Variable in the Kepler Field of View
Douglas R. Gies, Zhao Guo, Steve B. Howell +6
KIC 9406652 is a remarkable variable star in the Kepler field of view that shows both very rapid oscillations and long term outbursts in its light curve. We present an analysis of…
WOCS 40007: A Detached Eclipsing Binary near the Turnoff of the Open Cluster NGC 6819
Mark W. Jeffries, Eric L. Sandquist, Robert D. Mathieu +10
We analyze extensive BVR_cI_c time-series photometry and radial-velocity measurements for WOCS 40007 (Auner 259; KIC 5113053), a double-lined detached eclipsing binary and a member…
Near-Infrared Detection of a Super-Thin Disk in NGC 891
Andrew Schechtman-Rook, Matthew A. Bershady
We probe the disk structure of the nearby, massive, edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891 with sub-arcsecond resolution JHKs-band images covering ~+/-10 kpc in radius and +/-5 kpc in heigh…
Spectroscopy of Faint Kepler Mission Exoplanet Candidate Host Stars
Mark E. Everett, Steve B. Howell, David R. Silva +1
Stellar properties are measured for a large set of Kepler Mission exoplanet candidate host stars. Most of these stars are fainter than 14th magnitude, in contrast to other spectros…
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy
O. Mousis, R. Hueso, J. -P. Beaulieu +57
Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy. Here we review the different domains of t…
ALFALFA Discovery of the Nearby Gas-Rich Dwarf Galaxy Leo~P. III. An Extremely Metal Deficient Galaxy
Evan D. Skillman, John J. Salzer, Danielle A. Berg +10
We present KPNO 4-m and LBT/MODS spectroscopic observations of an HII region in the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy Leo P discovered recently in the Arecibo ALFALFA survey. In both o…
Identification of 5 Interacting Binaries in the Galactic Bulge Survey
C. T. Britt, M. A. P. Torres, R. I. Hynes +10
We present optical lightcurves, spectroscopy, and classification of five X-ray sources in the Chandra Galactic Bulge Survey [CXOGBS J174009.1-284725 (CX5), CXOGBS J173935.7-272935…
Kinematics of Outer Halo Globular Clusters in M31
J. Veljanoski, A. M. N. Ferguson, A. D. Mackey +12
We present the first kinematic analysis of the far outer halo globular cluster (GC) population in the Local Group galaxy M31. Our sample contains 53 objects with projected radii of…
Toward a Spectroscopic Census of White Dwarfs Within 40 parsecs of the Sun
M. -M. Limoges, S. Lepine, P. Bergeron
We present the preliminary results of a survey aimed at significantly increasing the range and completeness of the local census of spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs. The cur…
Spitzer Observations of GJ3470b: a Very Low-density Neptune-size Planet Orbiting a Metal-rich M dwarf
Brice-Olivier Demory, Guillermo Torres, Vasco Neves +13
We present Spitzer/IRAC 4.5-micron transit photometry of GJ3470b, a Neptune-size planet orbiting a M1.5 dwarf star with a 3.3-day period recently discovered in the course of the HA…
