Speckle nulling for exoplanet detection with space-based coronagraphic telescopes
Pascal J. Borde, Wesley A. Traub, Brian D. Kern +2
To detect Earth-like planets in the visible with a coronagraphic telescope, two major noise sources have to be overcome: the photon noise of the diffracted star light, and the spec…
Excess mid-IR emission in Cataclysmic Variables
G. Dubus, R. Campbell, B. Kern +2
We present a search for excess mid-IR emission due to circumbinary material in the orbital plane of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Our motivation stems from the fact that the strong…
Simultaneous optical and X-ray high speed photometry of Cyg X-2
G. Dubus, B. Kern, A. A. Esin +2
The X-ray emission from X-ray binaries may originate in flares occurring when magnetic loops anchored in the disc reconnect. In analogy with our Sun, H alpha emission should arise…
Optical Pulse-Phased Photopolarimetry of PSR B0656+14
B. Kern, C. Martin, B. Mazin +1
We have observed the optical pulse profile of PSR B0656+14 in 10 phase bins at a high signal-to-noise ratio, and have measured the linear polarization profile over 30% of the pulsa…
