Linear Polarization Variations and Circular Polarization are Common Among Airless Bodies
Sloane J. Wiktorowicz, Amanda J. Bayless, Larissa A. Nofi
Using the POLISH2 polarimeter at the Lick Observatory Shane 3-m and Nickel 1-m telescopes, we discover rotation phase-locked variations in linear polarization to be common among as…
A Decade of Linear and Circular Polarimetry with the POLISH2 Polarimeter
Sloane J. Wiktorowicz, Agnieszka Słowikowska, Larissa A. Nofi +15
The POLISH2 optical polarimeter has been in operation at the Lick Observatory 3-m Shane telescope since 2011, and it was commissioned at the Gemini North 8-m in 2016. This instrume…
The IGRINS YSO Survey I. Stellar parameters of pre-main sequence stars in Taurus-Auriga
Ricardo López-Valdivia, Kimberly R. Sokal, Gregory N. Mace +19
We present fundamental parameters for 110 canonical K- & M-type (1.30.13) Taurus-Auriga young stellar objects (YSOs). The analysis produces a simultaneous determination…
Projected Rotational Velocities and Fundamental Properties of Low-Mass Pre-Main Sequence Stars in the Taurus-Auriga Star Forming Region
Larissa A. Nofi, Christopher M. Johns-Krull, Ricardo López-Valdivia +11
The projected stellar rotational velocity () is critical for our understanding of processes related to the evolution of angular momentum in pre-main sequence stars. We pr…
The Mean Magnetic Field Strength of CI Tau
Kimberly R. Sokal, Christopher M. Johns-Krull, Gregory N. Mace +4
We present a blind comparison of two methods to measure the mean surface magnetic field strength of the classical T Tauri star CI Tau based on Zeeman broadening of sensitive spectr…
CO Detected in CI Tau b: Hot Start Implied by Planet Mass and M
Laura Flagg, Christopher M. Johns-Krull, Larissa Nofi +5
We acquired high resolution IR spectra of CI Tau, the host star of one of the few young planet candidates amenable to direct spectroscopic detection. We confirm the planet's existe…
Seeing double with K2: Testing re-inflation with two remarkably similar planets around red giant branch stars
Samuel K. Grunblatt, Daniel Huber, Eric Gaidos +15
Despite more than 20 years since the discovery of the first gas giant planet with an anomalously large radius, the mechanism for planet inflation remains unknown. Here, we report t…
The Robo-AO KOI Survey: laser adaptive optics imaging of every Kepler exoplanet candidate
Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +4
The Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey is observing every Kepler planet candidate host star (KOI) with laser adaptive optics imaging to hunt for blended nearby stars which m…
A Ground-Based Albedo Upper Limit for HD 189733b from Polarimetry
Sloane J. Wiktorowicz, Larissa A. Nofi, Daniel Jontof-Hutter +5
We present 50 nights of polarimetric observations of HD 189733 in band using the POLISH2 aperture-integrated polarimeter at the Lick Observatory Shane 3-m telescope. This instr…
Simultaneous Linear and Circular Optical Polarimetry of Asteroid (4) Vesta
Sloane J. Wiktorowicz, Larissa A. Nofi
From a single, 3.8-hour observation of asteroid (4) Vesta at phase angle with the POLISH2 polarimeter at the Lick Observatory Shane 3-m telescope, we confirm rotationa…
