WASP-14b: 7.3 Mj transiting planet in an eccentric orbit
Y. C. Joshi, D. Pollacco, A. Collier Cameron +38
We report the discovery of a 7.3 Mjup exoplanet WASP-14b, one of the most massive transiting exoplanets observed to date. The planet orbits the tenth-magnitude F5V star USNO-B1 111…
OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb, the Most Massive M-Dwarf Planetary Companion?
Subo Dong, Andrew Gould, Andrzej Udalski +81
We combine all available information to constrain the nature of OGLE-2005-BLG-071Lb, the second planet discovered by microlensing and the first in a high-magnification event. These…
Discovery of a Jupiter/Saturn Analog with Gravitational Microlensing
B. S. Gaudi, D. P. Bennett, A. Udalski +66
Searches for extrasolar planets have uncovered an astonishing diversity of planetary systems, yet the frequency of solar system analogs remains unknown. The gravitational microlens…
Finding benchmark brown dwarfs to probe the IMF as a function of time
D. J. Pinfield, H. R. A. Jones, P. W. Lucas +5
Using a simulated disk brown dwarf (BD) population, we find that new large area infrared surveys are expected to identify enough BDs covering wide enough mass--age ranges to potent…
Crossing into the substellar regime in Praesepe
R. J. Chappelle, D. J. Pinfield, I. A. Steele +2
We present the results of a deep optical 2.6 square degree survey with near infrared follow-up measurements of the intermediate-aged Praesepe open cluster. The survey is complete t…
The Liverpool Telescope Automatic Pipeline for Real-time GRB Afterglow Detection
A. Gomboc, A. Monfardini, C. Guidorzi +8
The 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT) is ideally suited to the rapid follow-up of unpredictable and transient events such as GRBs. Our GRB follow-up strategy is designed to iden…
Early GRB Optical and Infrared Afterglow Observations with the 2-m Robotic Liverpool Telescope
A. Gomboc, C. G. Mundell, C. Guidorzi +12
We present the first optical observations of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow using the 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT), which is owned and operated by Liverpool John Moores…
Rapid GRB Follow-up with the 2-m Robotic Liverpool Telescope
A. Gomboc, M. F. Bode, D. Carter +7
We present the capabilities of the 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT), owned and operated by Liverpool John Moores University and situated at ORM, La Palma. Robotic control and s…
The Liverpool Telescope: Rapid follow-up observation of Targets of opportunity with a 2 m robotic telescope
A. Gomboc, M. F. Bode, D. Carter +4
The Liverpool Telescope, situated at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, Canaries, is the first 2-m, fully instrumented robotic telescope. It recently began observations.…
The H alpha Galaxy Survey I. The galaxy sample, H alpha narrow-band observations and star formation parameters for 334 galaxies
P. A. James, N. S. Shane, J. E. Beckman +12
We discuss the selection and observations of a large sample of nearby galaxies, which we are using to quantify the star formation activity in the local Universe. The sample consist…
GRB optical and IR rapid follow-up with the 2 m Liverpool Robotic Telescope
A. Gomboc, M. F. Bode, D. Carter +4
The Liverpool Telescope, owned and operated by Liverpool John Moores University and situated at Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, is the first 2-m, fully instrumented robotic teles…
A representative sample of Be stars IV: Infrared Photometry and the Continuum Excess
Lee Howells, I. A. Steele, John M. Porter +1
We present infra-red (JHK) photometry of 52 isolated Be stars of spectral types O9--B9 and luminosity classes III--V. We describe a new method of reduction, enabling separation of…
Disc loss and renewal in A0535+26
N. J. Haigh, M. J. Coe, I. A. Steele +1
This paper presents observations of the Be/X-ray binary system A0535+26 revealing the first observed loss of its circumstellar disc, demonstrated by the loss of its JHK infrared ex…
A representative sample of Be Stars I: Sample Selection, Spectral Classification and Rotational Velocities
I. A. Steele, I. Negueruela, J. S. Clark
We present a sample of 58 Be stars containing objects of spectral types O9 to B8.5 and luminosity classes III to V. We have obtained 3670 - 5070 Angstrom spectra of the sample whic…
