Two pairs of interacting EBs towards the LMC in the OGLE database
Aviv Ofir
A single point source on the OGLE LMC database shows the characteristics of two superimposed eclipsing binaries (EBs). The two EBs happen to have periods very close to the 3:2 reso…
Identifying Transiting Circumbinary Planets
A. Ofir
Transiting planets manifest themselves by a periodic dimming of their host star by a fixed amount. On the other hand, light curves of transiting circumbinary (CB) planets are expec…
An Algorithm For Photometric Identification Of Transiting Circumbinary Planets
Aviv Ofir
Transiting planets manifest themselves by a periodic dimming of their host star by a fixed amount. On the other hand, light curves of transiting circumbinary (CB) planets are expec…
HAT-P-5b: A Jupiter-like hot Jupiter Transiting a Bright Star
G. A. Bakos, A. Shporer, A. Pal +17
We report the discovery of a planet transiting a moderately bright (V = 12.00) G star, with an orbital period of 2.788491 +/-0.000025 days. From the transit light curve we determin…
Off-Line, Multi-Detector Intensity Interferometers II: Implications and Applications
Aviv Ofir, Erez N. Ribak
Intensity interferometry removes the stringent requirements on mechanical precision and atmospheric corrections that plague all amplitude interferometry techniques at the cost of s…
Off-Line, Multi-Detector Intensity Interferometers I: Theory
Aviv Ofir, Erez N. Ribak
Stellar amplitude interferometry is limited by the need to have optical distances fixed and known to a fraction of the wavelength. We suggest reviving intensity interferometry, whi…
