The Keck Aperture Masking Experiment: spectro-interferometry of 3 Mira Variables from 1.1 to 3.8 microns
H. C. Woodruff, M. J. Ireland, P. G. Tuthill +6
We present results from a spectro-interferometric study of the Miras o Cet, R Leo and W Hya obtained with the Keck Aperture Masking Experiment from 1998 Sep to 2002 Jul. The spectr…
Discovery of a Circumbinary Disk around Herbig Ae/Be system v892 Tau
J. D. Monnier, A. Tannirkulam, P. G. Tuthill +4
We report the discovery of a circumbinary disk around the Herbig Ae/Be system v892 Tau. Our detailed mid-infrared images were made using segment-tilting interferometry on the Keck-…
DARWIN - A Mission to Detect, and Search for Life on, Extrasolar Planets
C. S. Cockell, A. Leger, M. Fridlund +47
The discovery of extra-solar planets is one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy. The detection of planets with a wide range of masses demonstrates that extra-solar pla…
Towards a Small Prototype Planet Finding Interferometer: The next step in planet finding and characterization in the infrared
W. C. Danchi, D. Deming, K. G. Carpenter +9
During the last few years, considerable effort has been directed towards large-scale (>> $1 Billion US) missions to detect and characterize earth-like planets around nearby stars,…
The prototype colliding-wind pinwheel WR 104
Peter Tuthill, John Monnier, Nicholas Lawrance +3
Results from the most extensive study of the time-evolving dust structure around the prototype "Pinwheel" nebula WR 104 are presented. Encompassing 11 epochs in three near-infrared…
The Keck Aperture Masking Experiment: Multi-Wavelength Observations of 6 Mira Variables
H. C. Woodruff, P. G. Tuthill, J. D. Monnier +5
The angular diameters of six oxygen rich Mira-type long-period variables have been measured at various near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths using the aperture masking technique in an ex…
