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: 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 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…
Search for Small Trans-Neptunian Objects by the TAOS Project
W. P. Chen, C. Alcock, T. Axelrod +24
The Taiwan-America Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to determine the number of small icy bodies in the outer reach of the Solar System by means of stellar occultation. An array of 4…
