Interpretation of Strong Short-Term Central Perturbations in the Light Curves of Moderate-Magnification Microlensing Events
C. Han, K. -H. Hwang, D. Kim +87
To improve the planet detection efficiency, current planetary microlensing experiments are focused on high-magnification events searching for planetary signals near the peak of len…
A Puzzle Involving Galactic Bulge Microlensing Events
Judith G. Cohen, Andrew Gould, Ian B. Thompson +7
We study a sample of 16 microlensed Galactic bulge main sequence turnoff region stars for which high dispersion spectra have been obtained with detailed abundance analyses. We demo…
The Effect of Differential Limb Magnification on Abundance Analysis of Microlensed Dwarf Stars
Jennifer A. Johnson, Subo Dong, Andrew Gould
Finite source effects can be important in observations of gravitational microlensing of stars. Near caustic crossings, for example, some parts of the source star will be more highl…
Limits on Unresolved Planetary Companions to White Dwarf Remnants of 14 Intermediate-Mass Stars
Mukremin Kilic, Andrew Gould, Detlev Koester
We present Spitzer IRAC photometry of white dwarf remnants of 14 stars with M = 3-5 Msol. We do not detect mid-infrared excess around any of our targets. By demanding a 3 sigma pho…
Spectroscopic Confirmation of the Pisces Overdensity
Juna A. Kollmeier, Andrew Gould, Stephen Shectman +6
We present spectroscopic confirmation of the "Pisces Overdensity", also known as "Structure J", a photometric overdensity of RR Lyrae stars discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Surv…
Lyman-alpha Emission From Cosmic Structure I: Fluorescence
Juna A. Kollmeier, Zheng Zheng, Romeel Davé +4
We present predictions for the fluorescent Lyman-alpha emission signature arising from photoionized, optically thick structures in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) cosmological…
Detectability of Terrestrial Planets in Multi-Planet Systems: Preliminary Report
Wesley A. Traub, Charles Beichman, Andrew F. Boden +21
We ask if Earth-like planets (terrestrial mass and habitable-zone orbit) can be detected in multi-planet systems, using astrometric and radial velocity observations. We report here…
The EROS2 search for microlensing events towards the spiral arms: the complete seven season results
Y. R. Rahal, C. Afonso, J. -N. Albert +36
The EROS-2 project has been designed to search for microlensing events towards any dense stellar field. The densest parts of the Galactic spiral arms have been monitored to maximiz…
