Fundamental Properties of Cool Stars with Interferometry
Tabetha S. Boyajian, K. von Braun, G. van Belle +11
We present measurements of fundamental astrophysical properties of nearby, low-mass, K- and M-dwarfs from our DISCOS survey (DIameterS of COol Stars). The principal goal of our stu…
System Geometries and Transit / Eclipse Probabilities
Kaspar von Braun, Stephen R. Kane, Suvrath Mahadevan +3
Transiting exoplanets provide access to data to study the mass-radius relation and internal structure of extrasolar planets. Long-period transiting planets allow insight into plane…
Improving Transit Predictions of Known Exoplanets with TERMS
Stephen R. Kane, David Ciardi, Debra Fischer +7
Transiting planet discoveries have largely been restricted to the short-period or low-periastron distance regimes due to the bias inherent in the geometric transit probability. Thr…
Kepler Observations of Three Pre-Launch Exoplanet Candidates: Discovery of Two Eclipsing Binaries and a New Exoplanet
Steve B. Howell, Jason F. Rowe, William Sherry +6
Three transiting exoplanet candidate stars were discovered in a ground-based photometric survey prior to the launch of NASA's {\it Kepler} mission. {\it Kepler} observations of the…
Characterizing the Variability of Stars with Early-Release Kepler Data
David R. Ciardi, Kaspar von Braun, Geoff Bryden +6
We present a variability analysis of the early-release first quarter of data publicly released by the Kepler project. Using the stellar parameters from the Kepler Input Catalog, we…
Accurate Coordinates and 2MASS Cross-IDs for (Almost) All Gliese Catalog Stars
John Stauffer, Angelle M. Tanner, Geoffrey Bryden +10
We provide precise J2000, epoch 2000 coordinates and cross-identifications to sources in the 2MASS point source catalog for nearly all stars in the Gliese, Gliese and Jahreiss, and…
