Imaging an Event Horizon: submm-VLBI of a Super Massive Black Hole
Sheperd Doeleman, Eric Agol, Don Backer +20
A long standing goal in astrophysics is to directly observe the immediate environment of a black hole with angular resolution comparable to the event horizon. Realizing this goal w…
HAT-P-12b: A Low-Density Sub-Saturn Mass Planet Transiting a Metal-Poor K Dwarf
J. D. Hartman, G. Á. Bakos, G. Torres +18
We report on the discovery of HAT-P-12b, a transiting extrasolar planet orbiting the moderately bright V=12.8 K4 dwarf GSC 03033-00706, with a period P = 3.2130598 +- 0.0000021 d,…
The First Positive Detection of Molecular Gas in a GRB Host Galaxy
J. X. Prochaska, Y. Sheffer, D. A. Perley +9
We report on strong H2 and CO absorption from gas within the host galaxy of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 080607. Analysis of our Keck/LRIS afterglow spectrum reveals a very large HI colum…
