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…
Extrasolar Planet Transit Light Curves and a Method to Select the Best Planet Candidates for Mass Follow-up
S. Seager, G. Mallen-Ornelas
A unique analytical solution of planet and star parameters can be derived from an extrasolar planet transit light curve under a number of assumptions. This analytical solution can…
Strategies for prompt searches for GRB afterglows: the discovery of the GRB 001011 optical/near-infrared counterpart using colour-colour selection
J. Gorosabel, J. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +25
We report the discovery of the optical and near-infrared counterparts to GRB 001011. The GRB 001011 error box determined by Beppo-SAX was simultaneously imaged in the near-infrared…
Internal Kinematics of Blue CFRS Galaxies at z ~ 0.6
Gabriela Mallen-Ornelas, Simon Lilly, David Crampton +1
We present the results of a study of the internal kinematics of luminous starforming galaxies in the 0 < z < 0.8 range, with the aim of investigating the nature of the blue galaxie…
The DDO IVC Distance Project
Michael D. Gladders, Tracy E. Clarke, Christopher R. Burns +14
We present the first set of distance limits from the David Dunlap Observatory Intermediate Velocity Cloud (DDO IVC) distance project. Such distance measures are crucial to understa…
The David Dunlap Observatory IVC Distance Project: First Results
T. E. Clarke, Gabriela Mallen-Ornelas, Marcin Sawicki +5
We present distance estimates to a set of high-latitude intermediate-velocity HI clouds. We explore some of the physical parameters that can be determined from these results, such…
