Properties of Extremely Red Objects in an Overdense Region
Marcin Sawicki, Matthew Stevenson, L. Felipe Barrientos +3
We use a serendipitously discovered overdensity of extremely red objects (EROs) to study the morphologies and cumulative surface number density of EROs in a dense environment. Our…
Emission Line Abundances of Absorption Selected Galaxies at z<0.5
Sara L. Ellison, Lisa J. Kewley, Gabriela Mallen-Ornelas
We have obtained optical spectra of four galaxies associated with MgII QSO absorbers at redshifts 0.10 < z < 0.45. We calculate the gas-phase oxygen abundance of these galaxies usi…
Searching for Planetary Transits in Galactic Open Clusters: EXPLORE/OC
K. von Braun, B. L. Lee, S. Seager +3
Open clusters potentially provide an ideal environment for the search for transiting extrasolar planets since they feature a relatively large number of stars of the same known age…
On the Period Distribution of Close-In Extrasolar Giant Planets
B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Gabriela Mallen-Ornelas
Transit (TR) surveys for extrasolar planets have recently uncovered a population of ``very hot Jupiters,'' planets with orbital periods of P< 3 d. At first sight this may seem surp…
EXPLORE/OC: A Search for Planetary Transits in the Field of the Southern Open Cluster NGC 6208
Brian L. Lee, Kaspar von Braun, Gabriela Mallen-Ornelas +3
The EXPLORE Project expanded in 2003 to include a campaign to monitor rich southern open clusters for transits of extrasolar planets (EXPLORE/OC). In May and June 2003, we acquired…
EXPLORE/OC: A Search for Planetary Transits in the Field of NGC 2660
Kaspar von Braun, Brian Lee, Gabriela Mallen-Ornelas +3
We present preliminary photometric results of a monitoring study of the open cluster NGC 2660 as part of the EXPLORE/OC project to find planetary transits in Galactic open clusters…
