Periodic and Aperoidic Variability in the Molecular Cloud ρOphiuchus
J. R. Parks, P. Plavchan, R. J. White +1
Presented are the results of a near-IR photometric survey on 1678 stars in the direction of the ρOphiuchus (ρOph) star forming region using data from the 2MASS Calibration Database…
Precision near-infrared radial velocity instrumentation I: Absorption Gas Cells
Peter P. Plavchan, Guillem Anglada-Escude, Russel White +18
We have built and commissioned gas absorption cells for precision spectroscopic radial velocity measurements in the near-infrared in the H and K bands. We describe the construction…
Precision near-infrared radial velocity instrumentation II: Non-Circular Core Fiber Scrambler
Peter P. Plavchan, Michael Bottom, Peter Gao +18
We have built and commissioned a prototype agitated non-circular core fiber scrambler for precision spectroscopic radial velocity measurements in the near-infrared H band. We have…
New Uses for the Kepler Telescope: A Survey of the Ecliptic Plane For Transiting Planets and Star Formation
Charles Beichman, David Ciardi, Rachel Akeson +8
With the loss of two reaction wheels, the period of Kepler's ultra-high precision photometric performance is at an end. Yet Kepler retains unique capabilities impossible to replica…
Luhman 16AB: A Remarkable, Variable L/T Transition Binary 2 pc from the Sun
A. J. Burgasser, J. Faherty, Y. Beletsky +12
Luhman (2013) has reported the discovery of a brown dwarf binary system only 2.01+/-0.15 pc from the Sun. The binary is well-resolved with a projected separation of 1.5", and spect…
The NASA Exoplanet Archive: Data and Tools for Exoplanet Research
R. L. Akeson, X. Chen, D. Ciardi +32
We describe the contents and functionality of the NASA Exoplanet Archive, a database and tool set funded by NASA to support astronomers in the exoplanet community. The current cont…
