A Uniform Analysis of 118 Stars with High-Contrast Imaging: Long Period Extrasolar Giant Planets are Rare around Sun-like Stars
Eric L. Nielsen, Laird M. Close
We expand on the results of Nielsen et al. (2008), using the null result for giant extrasolar planets around the 118 target stars from the VLT NACO H and Ks band planet search (Mas…
On the Apparent Orbital Inclination Change of the Extrasolar Transiting Planet TrES-2b
Louis J. Scuderi, Jason A. Dittmann, Jared R. Males +2
On June 15, 2009 UT the transit of TrES-2b was detected using the University of Arizona's 1.55 meter Kuiper Telescope with 2.0-2.5 millimag RMS accuracy in the I-band. We find a ce…
A Tentative Detection of a Starspot During Consecutive Transits of an Extrasolar Planet from the Ground: No Evidence of a Double Transiting Planet System Around TrES-1
Jason A. Dittmann, Laird M. Close, Elizabeth M. Green +1
There have been numerous reports of anomalies during transits of the planet TrES-1b. Recently, Rabus and coworkers' analysis of HST observations lead them to claim brightening anom…
Follow-up Observations of the Neptune Mass Transiting Extrasolar Planet HAT-P-11b
Jason A. Dittmann, Laird M. Close, Elizabeth M. Green +2
We have confirmed the existence of the transiting super Neptune extrasolar planet HAT-P-11b. On May 1, 2009 UT the transit of HAT-P-11b was detected at the University of Arizona's…
A Direct Measurement of Atmospheric Dispersion in N-band Spectra: Implications for Mid-IR Systems on ELTs
Andrew Skemer, Philip Hinz, William Hoffmann +7
Adaptive optics will almost completely remove the effects of atmospheric turbulence at 10 microns on the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) generation of telescopes. In this paper, we…
A Multi-wavelength Differential Imaging Experiment for the High Contrast Imaging Testbed
Beth Biller, John Trauger, Dwight Moody +5
We discuss the results of a multi-wavelength differential imaging lab experiment with the High Contrast Imaging Testbed (HCIT) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The HCIT combines a…
