Astrometric Detection of Earthlike Planets
Michael Shao, Geoff Marcy, Joseph H. Catanzarite +12
Astrometry can detect rocky planets in a broad range of masses and orbital distances and measure their masses and three-dimensional orbital parameters, including eccentricity and i…
Transients in the Local Universe
S. R. Kulkarni, M. M. Kasliwal
Two different reasons make the search for transients in the nearby Universe (d < 200 Mpc) interesting and urgent. First, there exists a large gap in the luminosity of the brightest…
Optical Astrometry of Accreting Black Holes and Neutron Stars: Scientific Opportunities
John A. Tomsick, Andreas Quirrenbach, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni +2
The extreme conditions found near black holes and neutron stars provide a unique opportunity for testing physical theories. Observations of both types of compact objects can be use…
No Planet Left Behind: Investigating Planetary Diversity and Architecture with SIM Lite
S. R. Kulkarni, H. E. Schlichting, B. M. S. Hansen +1
The evidence is mounting that star formation necessarily involves planet formation. We clearly have a vested interest in finding other Earths but a true understanding of planet for…
Limits to Tertiary Astrometric Companions in Binary Systems
Matthew W. Muterspaugh, Benjamin F. Lane, S. R. Kulkarni +3
The Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems (PHASES) has monitored 37 sub-arcsecond binary systems to determine whether their Keplerian orbits are perturbed…
