An Algorithm for Detecting Quantum-Gravity Photon Dispersion in Gamma-Ray Bursts: DISCAN
Jeffrey D. Scargle, Jay P. Norris, Jerry T. Bonnell
DisCan is a new algorithm implementing photon dispersion cancellation in order to measure energy-dependent delays in variable sources. This method finds the amount of reversed disp…
The Distances to Open Clusters from Main-Sequence Fitting. III. Improved Accuracy with Empirically Calibrated Isochrones
Deokkeun An, Donald M. Terndrup, Marc H. Pinsonneault +3
We continue our series of papers on open cluster distances with a critical assessment of the accuracy of main-sequence fitting using isochrones that employ empirical corrections to…
Confirmation of the Planet Hypothesis for the Long-period Radial Velocity Variations of Beta Geminorum
A. P. Hatzes, W. D. Cochran, M. Endl E. W. Guenther +6
We present precise stellar radial velocity measurements for the K giant star Beta Gem spanning over 25 years. These data show that the long period low amplitude radial velocity var…
Exploring The Frequency Of Close-In Jovian Planets Around M Dwarfs
Michael Endl, William D. Cochran, Martin Kuerster +4
We discuss our high precision radial velocity results of a sample of 90 M dwarfs observed with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope and the Harlan J. Smith 2.7 m Telescope at McDonald Observ…
A Spitzer Infrared Radius for the Transiting Extrasolar Planet HD209458b
L. Jeremy Richardson, Joseph Harrington, Sara Seager +1
We have measured the infrared transit of the extrasolar planet HD209458b using the Spitzer Space Telescope. We observed two primary eclipse events (one partial and one complete tra…
Detection Limits from the McDonald Observatory Planet Search Program
Robert A. Wittenmyer, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran +4
Based on the long-term radial-velocity surveys carried out with the McDonald Observatory 2.7m Harlan J. Smith Telescope from 1988 to the present, we derive upper limits to long-per…
