Cepheid investigations using the Kepler space telescope
R. Szabó, L. Szabados, C. -C. Ngeow +35
We report results of initial work done on selected candidate Cepheids to be observed with the Kepler space telescope. Prior to the launch 40 candidates were selected from previous…
GJ 3236: a new bright, very low-mass eclipsing binary system discovered by the MEarth observatory
Jonathan Irwin, David Charbonneau, Zachory K. Berta +14
We report the detection of eclipses in GJ 3236, a bright (I = 11.6) very low mass binary system with an orbital period of 0.77 days. Analysis of light- and radial velocity curves o…
Digital Access to a Sky Century at Harvard. II: Initial Photometry and Astrometry
S. Laycock, S. Tang, J. Grindlay +3
Digital Access to a Sky Century @ Harvard (DASCH) is a project to digitize the collection of ~500,000 glass photographic plates held at Harvard College Observatory. The collection…
An ultrahigh-speed digitizer for the Harvard College Observatory astronomical plates
R. J. Simcoe, J. E. Grindlay, E. J. Los +5
A machine capable of digitizing two 8 inch by 10 inch (203 mm by 254 mm) glass astrophotographic plates or a single 14 inch by 17 inch (356 mm by 432 mm) plate at a resolution of 1…
Hectospec, the MMT's 300 Optical Fiber-Fed Spectrograph
Daniel Fabricant, Robert Fata, John Roll +6
The Hectospec is a 300 optical fiber fed spectrograph commissioned at the MMT in the spring of 2004. A pair of high-speed six-axis robots move the 300 fiber buttons between observi…
Eigenvector Sky Subtraction
Michael J. Kurtz, Douglas J. Mink
We develop a new method for estimating and removing the spectrum of the sky from deep spectroscopic observations; our method does not rely on simultaneous measurement of the sky sp…
