Wide-Field Astronomical Surveys in the Next Decade
M. A. Strauss, J. A. Tyson, S. F. Anderson +28
Wide-angle surveys have been an engine for new discoveries throughout the modern history of astronomy, and have been among the most highly cited and scientifically productive obser…
Type Ia supernova science 2010-2020
D. A. Howell, A. Conley, M. Della Valle +47
In the next decade Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) will be used to test theories predicting changes in the Dark Energy equation of state with time. Ultimately this requires a dedicated…
The Impact of the Astro2010 Recommendations on Variable Star Science
Lucianne M. Walkowicz, Andrew C. Becker, Scott F. Anderson +13
The next decade of survey astronomy has the potential to transform our knowledge of variable stars. Stellar variability underpins our knowledge of the cosmological distance ladder,…
The MACHO Project HST Follow-Up: The Large Magellanic Cloud Microlensing Source Stars
C. A. Nelson, A. J. Drake, K. H. Cook +21
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 photometry of 13 microlensed source stars from the 5.7 year Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) survey conducted by the MACHO Project. The mi…
2006 SQ372: A Likely Long-Period Comet from the Inner Oort Cloud
Nathan A. Kaib, Andrew C. Becker, R. Lynne Jones +9
We report the discovery of a minor planet (2006 SQ372) on an orbit with a perihelion of 24 AU and a semimajor axis of 796 AU. Dynamical simulations show that this is a transient or…
Transit Timing Observations of the Extrasolar Hot-Neptune Planet GL 436b
Guy S. Stringfellow, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, Mercedes López-Morales +4
Gliese 436 is an M dwarf with a mass of 0.45 Msun and hosts the extrasolar planet GL 436b [3, 6, 7, 2], which is currently the least massive transiting planet with a mass of ~23.17…
