Revised Stellar Properties of Kepler Targets for the Q1-17 (DR25) Transit Detection Run
Savita Mathur, Daniel Huber, Natalie M. Batalha +14
The determination of exoplanet properties and occurrence rates using Kepler data critically depends on our knowledge of the fundamental properties (such as temperature, radius and…
Variability of Kepler Solar-Like Stars Harboring Small Exoplanets
Steve B. Howell, David R. Ciardi, Mark S. Giampapa +3
We examine Kepler light curve variability on habitable zone transit timescales for a large uniform sample of spectroscopically studied Kepler exoplanet host stars. The stars, taken…
High-resolution Multi-band Imaging for Validation and Characterization of Small Kepler Planets
Mark E. Everett, Thomas Barclay, David R. Ciardi +4
High-resolution ground-based optical speckle and near-infrared adaptive optics images are taken to search for stars in close angular proximity to host stars of candidate planets id…
Followup Observations of SDSS and CRTS Candidate Cataclysmic Variables
Paula Szkody, Mark E. Everett, Steve B. Howell +4
We present photometry of 11 and spectroscopy of 35 potential cataclysmic variables from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey and vsnet-alerts. The…
Spectroscopy of Faint Kepler Mission Exoplanet Candidate Host Stars
Mark E. Everett, Steve B. Howell, David R. Silva +1
Stellar properties are measured for a large set of Kepler Mission exoplanet candidate host stars. Most of these stars are fainter than 14th magnitude, in contrast to other spectros…
Integrated J- and H-band spectra of globular clusters in the LMC: implications for stellar population models and galaxy age dating
Mariya Lyubenova, Harald Kuntschner, Marina Rejkuba +3
(Abridged) The rest-frame near-IR spectra of intermediate age (1-2 Gyr) stellar populations are dominated by carbon based absorption features offering a wealth of information. Yet,…
The Infrared Light Curve of SN 2011fe in M101 and the Distance to M101
T. Matheson, R. R. Joyce, L. E. Allen +42
We present near infra-red light curves of supernova (SN) 2011fe in M101, including 34 epochs in H band starting fourteen days before maximum brightness in the B-band. The light cur…
Kepler-21b: A 1.6REarth Planet Transiting the Bright Oscillating F Subgiant Star HD 179070
Steve B. Howell, Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson +63
We present Kepler observations of the bright (V=8.3), oscillating star HD 179070. The observations show transit-like events which reveal that the star is orbited every 2.8 days by…
Integrated K-band spectra of old and intermediate-age globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Mariya Lyubenova, Harald Kuntschner, Marina Rejkuba +4
Current stellar population models have arguably the largest uncertainties in the near-IR wavelength range, partly due to a lack of large and well calibrated empirical spectral libr…
Evidence for intermediate-age stellar populations in early-type galaxies from K-band spectroscopy
E. Mármol-Queraltó, N. Cardiel, P. Sánchez-Blázquez +7
The study of stellar populations in early-type galaxies in different environments is a powerful tool for constraining their star formation histories. This study has been traditiona…
Red Supergiants in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31)
Philip Massey, David R. Silva, Emily M. Levesque +5
Red supergiants are a short-lived stage in the evolution of moderately massive stars (10-25Mo), and as such their location in the H-R diagram provides an exacting test of stellar e…
The Distance and Metallicity of the Newly Discovered, Nearby Irregular Galaxy HIZSS3
David R. Silva, Philip Massey, Kathleen DeGioia-Eastwood +1
HIZSS3 is an H I source in the Zone of Avoidance. Its radio characteristics are consistent with it being nearby (~ 1.8 Mpc) low-mass dwarf irregular (dIm) galaxy. It contains a mod…
