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…
Halos of Spiral Galaxies. I. The Tip of the Red Giant Branch as a Distance Indicator
M. Mouhcine, H. C. Ferguson, R. M. Rich +2
We have imaged the halo populations of a sample of nearby spiral galaxies using the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on broad the Hubble Space Telescope with the aim of studying the s…
The Hubble Deep Field South Flanking Fields
Ray A. Lucas, Stefi A. Baum, Thomas M. Brown +22
As part of the Hubble Deep Field South program, a set of shorter 2-orbit observations were obtained of the area adjacent to the deep fields. The WFPC2 flanking fields cover a conti…
