Type Ia Supernovae are Good Standard Candles in the Near Infrared: Evidence from PAIRITEL

W. Michael Wood-Vasey, Andrew S. Friedman, Joshua S. Bloom +11

We have obtained 1087 NIR (JHKs) measurements of 21 SNe Ia using PAIRITEL, nearly doubling the number of well-sampled NIR SN Ia light curves. These data strengthen the evidence tha…

Near-Infrared Interferometric, Spectroscopic, and Photometric Monitoring of T Tauri Inner Disks

J. A. Eisner, L. A. Hillenbrand, R. J. White +3

We present high angular resolution observations with the Keck Interferometer, high dispersion spectroscopic observations with Keck/NIRSPEC, and near-IR photometric observations fro…

A New Low-Mass Eclipsing Binary from SDSS-II

Cullen H. Blake, Guillermo Torres, Joshua S. Bloom +1

We present observations of a new low-mass double-lined eclipsing binary system discovered using repeat observations of the celestial equator from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II. U…

Multiepoch Radial Velocity Observations of L Dwarfs

Cullen H. Blake, David Charbonneau, Russel J. White +2

We report on the development of a technique for precise radial-velocity measurements of cool stars and brown dwarfs in the near infrared. Our technique is analogous to the Iodine (…

What Can the Cosmic Microwave Background Tell Us About the Outer Solar System?

Daniel Babich, Cullen H. Blake, Charles Steinhardt

We discuss two new observational techniques that use observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to place constraints upon the mass, distance, and size distribution of sm…

Discovery of a Very Bright, Nearby Gravitational Microlensing Event

B. Scott Gaudi, Joseph Patterson, David S. Spiegel +18

We report the serendipitous detection of a very bright, very nearby microlensing event. In late October 2006, an otherwise unremarkable A0 star at a distance ~1 kpc (GSC 3656-1328)…
