The two rings of (50000) Quaoar
C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy, B. E. Morgado +66
Quaoar is a classical Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) with an area equivalent diameter of 1,100 km and an orbital semi-major axis of 43.3 astronomical units. Based on stellar occultat…
The Contribution of Dwarf Planets to the Origin of Jupiter Family Comets
Marco A. Muñoz-Gutiérrez, Antonio Peimbert, Bárbara Pichardo +2
We explore the long-term evolution of a bias-free orbital representation of the cometary nuclei (with diameters above 2 km) of the Kuiper belt, using the so-called L7 synthetic mod…
The TAOS Project: Results From Seven Years of Survey Data
Z. -W. Zhang, M. J. Lehner, J. -H. Wang +19
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to detect serendipitous occultations of stars by small (about 1 km diameter) objects in the Kuiper Belt and beyond. Such event…
The GRB 071112C: A Case Study of Different Mechanisms in X-ray and Optical Temporal Evolution
K. Y. Huang, Y. Urata, Y. H. Tung +19
We present the study on GRB 071112C X-ray and optical light curves. In these two wavelength ranges, we have found different temporal properties. The R-band light curve showed an in…
The TAOS Project: Statistical Analysis of Multi-Telescope Time Series Data
M. J. Lehner, N. K. Coehlo, Z. -W. Zhang +17
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) monitors fields of up to ~1000 stars at 5 Hz simultaneously with four small telescopes to detect occultation events from small (~1…
The TAOS Project Stellar Variability I. Detection of Low-Amplitude delta Scuti Stars
D. -W. Kim, P. Protopapas, C. Alcock +22
We analyzed data accumulated during 2005 and 2006 by the Taiwan-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) in order to detect short-period variable stars (periods of <~ 1 hour) such as del…
Upper Limits on the Number of Small Bodies in Sedna-Like Orbits by the TAOS Project
J. -H. Wang, M. J. Lehner, Z. -W. Zhang +21
We present the results of a search for occultation events by objects at distances between 100 and 1000 AU in lightcurves from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS). We s…
A Close Binary Star Resolved from Occultation by 87 Sylvia
Chi-Long Lin, Zhi-Wei Zhang, W. P. Chen +22
The star BD+29 1748 was resolved to be a close binary from its occultation by the asteroid 87 Sylvia on 2006 December 18 UT. Four telescopes were used to observe this event at two…
