A dearth of planetary transits in the direction of NGC 6940

Ben Hood, Andrew Collier Cameron, Stephen R. Kane +10

We present results of our survey for planetary transits in the field of NGC 6940. We think nearly all of our observed stars are field stars. We have obtained high precision (3-10 m…

A Survey for Planetary Transits in the Field of NGC 7789

D. M. Bramich, Keith Horne, I. A. Bond +12

We present results from 30 nights of observations of the open cluster NGC 7789 with the WFC camera on the INT telescope in La Palma. From ~900 epochs, we obtained lightcurves and S…

Searching for Planetary Transits in the Field of Open Cluster NGC 6819 - I

R. A. Street, Keith Horne, T. A. Lister +7

We present results from our survey for planetary transits in the field of the intermediate age (~2.5 Gyr), metal-rich ([Fe/H]~+0.07) open cluster NGC 6819. We have obtained high-pr…

University of St.Andrews Open Cluster Survey for Hot Jupiters

R. A. Street, Keith Horne, A. Collier Cameron +7

We are using the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera to survey open cluster fields for transiting hot Jupiter planets. Clusters were selected on the basis of visibility, richn…

Astrometric Microlensing as a Method of Discovering and Characterizing Extra-Solar Planets

Neda Safizadeh, Neal Dalal, Kim Griest

We introduce a new method of searching for and characterizing extra-solar planets. We show that by monitoring the center-of-light motion of microlensing alerts using the next gener…

The Use of High Magnification Microlensing Events in Discovering Extra-solar Planets

Kim Griest, Neda Safizadeh

Hundreds of gravitational microlensing events have now been detected towards the Galactic bulge, with many more to come. The detection of fine structure in these events has been th…
