Deep MMT Transit Survey of the Open Cluster M37 III: Stellar Rotation at 550 Myr
J. D. Hartman, B. S. Gaudi, M. H. Pinsonneault +6
In the course of conducting a deep (14.5 ~< r ~< 23), 20 night survey for transiting planets in the rich ~550 Myr old open cluster M37 we have measured the rotation periods of 575…
Deep MMT Transit Survey of the Open Cluster M37 II: Variable Stars
J. D. Hartman, B. S. Gaudi, M. J. Holman +5
We have conducted a deep ($15 \la r \la 23$), 20 night survey for transiting planets in the intermediate age () open cluster M37 (NGC 2099) using the Megacam wi…
Planets in Stellar Clusters Extensive Search. IV. A detection of a possible transiting planet candidate in the open cluster NGC 2158
B. J. Mochejska, K. Z. Stanek, D. D. Sasselov +9
We have undertaken a long-term project, Planets in Stellar Clusters Extensive Search (PISCES), to search for transiting planets in open clusters. In this paper we present the resul…
The Hypervelocity Star SDSS J090745.0+024507 is a Short-Period Variable
Cesar I. Fuentes, K. Z. Stanek, B. Scott Gaudi +5
We present high-precision photometry of the hypervelocity star SDSS J090745.0+024507 (HVS), which has a Galactic rest-frame radial velocity of v=709 km/s, and so has likely been ej…
The Transit Light Curve Project. IV. Five Transits of the Exoplanet OGLE-TR-10b
Matthew J. Holman, Joshua N. Winn, Cesar I. Fuentes +7
We present I and B photometry of five distinct transits of the exoplanet OGLE-TR-10b. By modeling the light curves, we find the planetary radius to be R_P = 1.06 +/- 0.08 R_Jup and…
Planets in Stellar Clusters Extensive Search. III. A search for transiting planets in the metal-rich open cluster NGC 6791
B. J. Mochejska, K. Z. Stanek, D. D. Sasselov +7
We have undertaken a long-term project, Planets in Stellar Clusters Extensive Search (PISCES), to search for transiting planets in open clusters. In this paper we present the resul…
