Measurement of Thermo-Elastic Deformation of an Optic using a Polarization Based Shearing Interferometer

Peter Beyersdorf, Mark Cordier

A shearing interferometer is presented which uses polarization control to shear the wavefront and to modulate the interference pattern. The shear is generated by spatial walk-off i…

Swift follow-up observations of candidate gravitational-wave transient events

P. A. Evans, J. K. Fridriksson, N. Gehrels +813

We present the first multi-wavelength follow-up observations of two candidate gravitational-wave (GW) transient events recorded by LIGO and Virgo in their 2009-2010 science run. Th…

The Transiting Circumbinary Planets Kepler-34 and Kepler-35

William F. Welsh, Jerome A. Orosz, Joshua A. Carter +43

Most Sun-like stars in the Galaxy reside in gravitationally-bound pairs of stars called "binary stars". While long anticipated, the existence of a "circumbinary planet" orbiting su…
