HAT-P-3b: A heavy-element rich planet transiting a K dwarf star
G. Torres, G. A. Bakos, G. Kovacs +13
We report the discovery of a Jupiter-size planet transiting a relatively bright (V = 11.56) and metal-rich early K dwarf star with a period of about 2.9 days. On the basis of follo…
HD147506b: A Super-Massive Planet in an Eccentric Orbit Transiting a Bright Star
G. A. Bakos, G. Kovacs, G. Torres +18
We report the discovery of a massive (Mp = 9.04+/-0.50 MJup) planet transiting the bright (V = 8.7) F8 star HD 147506, with an orbital period of 5.63341+/-0.00013 days and an eccen…
Signal Search and Reconstruction by a Trend Filtering Algorithm
G. Kovacs, G. A. Bakos
We present additional tests of our algorithm aimed at filtering out systematics due to data reduction and instrumental imperfections in time series obtained by ensemble photometry.…
Globular Cluster Distances and Physical Properties from Double- and Fundamental Mode Variables
G. Kovács
We briefly describe a method of obtaining relative intrinsic stellar parameters, such as absolute magnitudes and colors from the light curves of fundamental mode RR Lyrae (RRab) st…
Nonradial Pulsations in Classical Pulsators
G. Kovács
Recent analyses of photometric data on globular clusters and galaxies enabled us to study more closely the long-periodic amplitude/phase modulation (Blazhko effect) in classical va…
The distance modulus of the Large Magellanic Cloud based on double-mode RR Lyrae stars
G. Kovacs
We use double-mode RR Lyrae (RRd) stars from the MACHO variable star database of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to estimate its distance, by utilizing photometric data, linear pu…
