Methane present in an extrasolar planet atmosphere
Mark R. Swain, Gautam Vasisht, Giovanna Tinetti
Molecules present in exoplanetary atmospheres are expected to strongly influence the atmospheric radiation balance, trace dynamical and chemical processes, and indicate the presenc…
Milliarcsecond N-Band Observations of the Nova RS Ophiuchi: First Science with the Keck Interferometer Nuller
R. K. Barry, W. C. Danchi, W. A. Traub +38
We report observations of the nova RS Ophiuchi (RS Oph) using the Keck Interferometer Nuller (KIN), approximately 3.8 days following the most recent outburst that occurred on 2006…
Keck Interferometer Observations of FU Orionis Objects
R. Millan-Gabet, J. D. Monnier, R. L. Akeson +31
We present new K-band long baseline interferometer observations of three young stellar objects of the FU Orionis class, V1057 Cyg, V1515 Cyg and Z CMa-SE, obtained at the Keck Inte…
The dusty AGB star RS CrB: first mid-infrared interferometric observations with the Keck Telescopes
B. Mennesson, C. Koresko, M. J. Creech-Eakman +2
We report interferometric observations of the semi-regular variable star RS CrB, a red giant with strong silicate emission features. The data were among the first long baseline mid…
The near-infrared size-luminosity relations for Herbig Ae/Be disks
J. D. Monnier, R. Millan-Gabet, R. Billmeier +31
We report the results of a sensitive K-band survey of Herbig Ae/Be disk sizes using the 85-m baseline Keck Interferometer. Targets were chosen to span the maximum range of stellar…
Interferometer Observations of Subparsec-scale Infrared Emission in the Nucleus of NGC 4151
M. Swain, G. Vasisht, R. Akeson +22
We report novel, high-angular resolution interferometric measurements that imply the near-infrared nuclear emission in NGC 4151 is unexpectedly compact. We have observed the nucleu…
