The two rings of (50000) Quaoar
C. L. Pereira, B. Sicardy, B. E. Morgado +66
Quaoar is a classical Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) with an area equivalent diameter of 1,100 km and an orbital semi-major axis of 43.3 astronomical units. Based on stellar occultat…
JWST observations of stellar occultations by solar system bodies and rings
P. Santos-Sanz, R. G. French, N. Pinilla-Alonso +14
In this paper we investigate the opportunities provided by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for significant scientific advances in the study of solar system bodies and rings u…
Web-based tools for the analysis of TAOS data and much more
D. Ricci, P. -G. Sprimont, C. Ayala +8
We suggest a new web-based approach for browsing and visualizing data produced by a network of telescopes, such as those of the ongoing TAOS and the forthcoming TAOS II projects. W…
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 GRB 071112C: A Case Study of Different Mechanisms in X-ray and Optical Temporal Evolution
K. Y. Huang, Y. Urata, Y. H. Tung +19
We present the study on GRB 071112C X-ray and optical light curves. In these two wavelength ranges, we have found different temporal properties. The R-band light curve showed an in…
The TAOS Project Stellar Variability II. Detection of 15 Variable Stars
S. Mondal, C. C. Lin, W. P. Chen +20
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) project has collected more than a billion photometric measurements since 2005 January. These sky survey data-covering timescales fr…
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…
