Proper Motions in the Galactic Bulge: Plaut's Window
Katherine Vieira, Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu, Rene A. Mendez +6
A proper motion study of a field of 20' x 20' inside Plaut's low extinction window (l,b)=(0 deg,-8 deg), has been completed. Relative proper motions and photographic BV photometry…
The QUEST RR Lyrae Survey: Confirmation of the Clump at 50 kpc and Other Over-Densities in the Outer Halo
A. K. Vivas, R. Zinn, P. Andrews +33
We have measured the periods and light curves of 148 RR Lyrae variables from V=13.5 to 19.7 from the first 100 sq. degrees of the QUEST RR Lyrae survey. Approximately 55% of these…
Discovery of the Bright Trans-Neptunian Object 2000 EB173
Ignacio Ferrin, D. Rabinowitz, B. Schaefer +45
We describe the discovery circumstances and photometric properties of 2000 EB173, now one of the brightest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with opposition magnitude m_R=18.9 and als…
