YETI observations of the young transiting planet candidate CVSO 30 b

St. Raetz, T. O. B. Schmidt, S. Czesla +32

CVSO 30 is a unique young low-mass system, because, for the first time, a close-in transiting and a wide directly imaged planet candidates are found around a common host star. The…

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…
