The First Detection of Blue Straggler Stars in the Milky Way Bulge
William I. Clarkson, Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson +8
We report the first detections of Blue Straggler Stars (BSS) in the bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. Proper motions from extensive space-based observations along a single sight-line…
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph: On-Orbit Instrument Performance
S. Osterman, J. Green, C. Froning +31
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) was installed in the Hubble Space Telescope in May, 2009 as part of Servicing Mission 4 to provide high sensitivity, medium and low resolution…
Stellar Proper Motions in the Galactic Bulge from deep HST ACS/WFC Photometry
Will Clarkson, Kailash Sahu, Jay Anderson +11
We present stellar proper motions in the Galactic bulge from the Sagittarius Window Eclipsing Extrasolar Search (SWEEPS) project using ACS/WFC on HST. Proper motions are extracted…
Planets in the Galactic Bulge: Results from the SWEEPS Project
Kailash C. Sahu, Stefano Casertano, Jeff Valenti +13
The exoplanets discovered so far have been mostly around relatively nearby and bright stars. As a result, the host stars are mostly (i) in the Galactic disk, (ii) relatively massiv…
Transiting extrasolar planetary candidates in the Galactic bulge
Kailash C. Sahu, Stefano Casertano, Howard E. Bond +13
More than 200 extrasolar planets have been discovered around relatively nearby stars, primarily through the Doppler line shifts owing to the reflex motions of their host stars, and…
Halos of Spiral Galaxies. II. halo metallicity-luminosity relation
M. Mouhcine, H. C. Ferguson, R. M. Rich +2
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, we have resolved individual red-giant branch stars in the halos of eight nearby spiral galaxies. The fields lie at projected distances between 2 a…
