The spectrum of isotropic diffuse gamma-ray emission between 100 MeV and 820 GeV
The Fermi LAT collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +142
The γ-ray sky can be decomposed into individually detected sources, diffuse emission attributed to the interactions of Galactic cosmic rays with gas and radiation fields, and a res…
Investigation of a transiting planet candidate in Trumpler 37: an astrophysical false positive eclipsing spectroscopic binary star
R. Errmann, G. Torres, T. O. B. Schmidt +50
We report our investigation of the first transiting planet candidate from the YETI project in the young (~4 Myr old) open cluster Trumpler 37. The transit-like signal detected in t…
