Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
Imaging the spotty surface of Betelgeuse in the H band
X. Haubois, G. Perrin, S. Lacour +9
This paper reports on H-band interferometric observations of Betelgeuse made at the three-telescope interferometer IOTA. We image Betelgeuse and its asymmetries to understand the s…
An infrared integrated optic astronomical beam combiner for stellar interferometry at 3-4 microns
Hsien-kai Hsiao, K. A. Winick, John D. Monnier +1
Integrated-optic, astronomical, two-beam and three-beam, interferometric combiners have been designed and fabricated for operation in the L band (3 - 4 microns) for the first time.…
The Pulsation of Chi Cygni Imaged by Optical Interferometry; a Novel Technique to Derive Distance and Mass of Mira Stars
S. Lacour, E. Thiébaut, G. Perrin +13
We present infrared interferometric imaging of the S-type Mira star Chi Cygni. The object was observed at four different epochs in 2005-2006 with the IOTA optical interferometer (H…
51 Ophiuchus: A Possible Beta Pictoris Analog Measured with the Keck Interferometer Nuller
Christopher C. Stark, Marc J. Kuchner, Wesley A. Traub +6
We present observations of the 51 Ophiuchi circumstellar disk made with the Keck interferometer operating in nulling mode at N-band. We model these data simultaneously with VLTI-MI…
Imaging and Modeling Rapidly Rotating Stars: Alpha Cephei and Alpha Ophiuchi
M. Zhao, J. D. Monnier, E. Pedretti +10
We present sub-milliarcseond resolution imaging and modeling of two nearby rapid rotators Alpha Cephei and Alpha Ophiuchi, obtained with the CHARA array - the largest optical/IR in…
