The radius and other fundamental parameters of the F9 V star beta Virginis
J. R. North, J. Davis, J. G. Robertson +10
We have used the Sydney University Stellar Interferometer (SUSI) to measure the angular diameter of the F9 V star beta Virginis. After correcting for limb darkening and combining w…
Welcome back, Polaris the Cepheid
H. Bruntt, A. J. Penny, D. Stello +2
For about 100 years the amplitude of the 4-day pulsation in Polaris has decreased. We present new results showing a significant increase in the amplitude based on 4.5 years of cont…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission VI. CoRoT-Exo-3b: The first secure inhabitant of the brown-dwarf desert
M. Deleuil, H. J. Deeg, R. Alonso +2
Context. The CoRoT space mission routinely provides high-precision photometric measurements of thousands of stars that have been continuously observed for months. Aims. The discove…
A multi-site campaign to measure solar-like oscillations in Procyon. I. Observations, Data Reduction and Slow Variations
Torben Arentoft, Hans Kjeldsen, Timothy R. Bedding +45
We have carried out a multi-site campaign to measure oscillations in the F5 star Procyon A. We obtained high-precision velocity observations over more than three weeks with eleven…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission V. CoRoT-Exo-4b: Stellar and planetary parameters
C. Moutou, H. Bruntt, T. Guillot +2
The CoRoT satellite has announced its fourth transiting planet (Aigrain et al. 2008) with space photometry. We describe and analyse complementary observations of this system perfor…
Absolute dimensions of eclipsing binaries. XXVI. Setting a new standard: Masses, radii, and abundances for the F-type systems AD Bootis, VZ Hydrae, and WZ Ophiuchi
J. V. Clausen, G. Torres, H. Bruntt +5
We determine absolute dimensions and abundances for the three F-type main-sequence detached eclipsing binaries AD Boo, VZ Hya, and WZ Oph and perform a detailed comparison with res…
