2020 Vision: Towards a Sustainable OIR System
Sally Oey, Tom Maccarone, Fred Walter +16
Open-access telescopes of all apertures are needed to operate a competitive and efficient national science program. While larger facilities contribute light-gathering power and ang…
M dwarf stars in the light of (future) exoplanet searches
B. Rojas-Ayala, E. J. Hilton, A. W. Mann +8
We present a brief overview of a splinter session on M dwarf stars as planet hosts that was organized as part of the Cool Stars 17 conference. The session was devoted to reviewing…
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…
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…
Discovery of Two T Dwarf Companions with the Spitzer Space Telescope
K. L. Luhman, B. M. Patten, M. Marengo +12
We report the discovery of T dwarf companions to the nearby stars HN Peg (G0V, 18.4 pc, ~0.3 Gyr) and HD 3651 (K0V, 11.1 pc, ~7 Gyr). During an ongoing survey of 5'x5' fields surro…
Calibrating the Solar Dynamo: Magnetic Activity Cycles of Southern Sun-like Stars
T. S. Metcalfe, T. J. Henry, M. Knolker +1
The solar magnetic activity cycle is responsible for periodic episodes of severe space weather, which can perturb satellite orbits, interfere with communications systems, and bring…
