Taking the Measure of the Universe: Precision Astrometry with SIM PlanetQuest
Stephen C. Unwin, Michael Shao, Angelle M. Tanner +33
Precision astrometry at microarcsecond accuracy has application to a wide range of astrophysical problems. This paper is a study of the science questions that can be addressed usin…
SIM PlanetQuest Key Project Precursor Observations to Detect Gas Giant Planets Around Young Stars
Angelle Tanner, Charles Beichman, Rachel Akeson +10
We present a review of precursor observing programs for the SIM PlanetQuest Key project devoted to detecting Jupiter mass planets around young stars. In order to ensure that the st…
Pinwheels in the Quintuplet Cluster
Peter Tuthill, John Monnier, Angelle Tanner +3
The five enigmatic Cocoon stars after which the Quintuplet cluster was christened have puzzled astronomers since their discovery. Their extraordinary cool, featureless thermal spec…
Astrometric Detection of Terrestrial Planets in the Habitable Zones of Nearby Stars with SIM PlanetQuest
Joseph Catanzarite, Michael Shao, Angelle Tanner +2
SIM PlanetQuest (Space Interferometry Mission) is a space-borne Michelson interferometer for precision stellar astrometry, with a nine meter baseline, currently slated for launch i…
IRS Spectra of Solar-Type Stars: A Search for Asteroid Belt Analogs
C. A. Beichman, A. Tanner, G. Bryden +6
We report the results of a spectroscopic search for debris disks surrounding 41 nearby solar type stars, including 8 planet-bearing stars, using the {\it Spitzer Space Telescope}.…
