The TAOS Project: Results From Seven Years of Survey Data
Z. -W. Zhang, M. J. Lehner, J. -H. Wang +19
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to detect serendipitous occultations of stars by small (about 1 km diameter) objects in the Kuiper Belt and beyond. Such event…
The TAOS Project Stellar Variability II. Detection of 15 Variable Stars
S. Mondal, C. C. Lin, W. P. Chen +20
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) project has collected more than a billion photometric measurements since 2005 January. These sky survey data-covering timescales fr…
The TAOS Project: Statistical Analysis of Multi-Telescope Time Series Data
M. J. Lehner, N. K. Coehlo, Z. -W. Zhang +17
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) monitors fields of up to ~1000 stars at 5 Hz simultaneously with four small telescopes to detect occultation events from small (~1…
The TAOS Project: Upper Bounds on the Population of Small KBOs and Tests of Models of Formation and Evolution of the Outer Solar System
F. B. Bianco, Z. -W. Zhang, M. J. Lehner +23
We have analyzed the first 3.75 years of data from TAOS, the Taiwanese American Occultation Survey. TAOS monitors bright stars to search for occultations by Kuiper Belt Objects (KB…
The TAOS Project Stellar Variability I. Detection of Low-Amplitude delta Scuti Stars
D. -W. Kim, P. Protopapas, C. Alcock +22
We analyzed data accumulated during 2005 and 2006 by the Taiwan-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) in order to detect short-period variable stars (periods of <~ 1 hour) such as del…
Upper Limits on the Number of Small Bodies in Sedna-Like Orbits by the TAOS Project
J. -H. Wang, M. J. Lehner, Z. -W. Zhang +21
We present the results of a search for occultation events by objects at distances between 100 and 1000 AU in lightcurves from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS). We s…
A Close Binary Star Resolved from Occultation by 87 Sylvia
Chi-Long Lin, Zhi-Wei Zhang, W. P. Chen +22
The star BD+29 1748 was resolved to be a close binary from its occultation by the asteroid 87 Sylvia on 2006 December 18 UT. Four telescopes were used to observe this event at two…
First Results From The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS)
Z. -W. Zhang, F. B. Bianco, M. J. Lehner +22
Results from the first two years of data from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) are presented. Stars have been monitored photometrically at 4 Hz or 5 Hz to search fo…
