The DECam Minute Cadence Survey II: 49 Variables but No Planetary Transits of a White Dwarf
Kyra Dame, Claudia Belardi, Mukremin Kilic +4
We present minute cadence photometry of 31732 point sources observed in one 3 DECam pointing centred at RA = 09:03:02 and Dec = -04:35:00 over eight consecutive half-nigh…
The DECam Minute Cadence Survey I
Claudia Belardi, Mukremin Kilic, Jeffrey A. Munn +4
We present the first results from a minute cadence survey of a three square degree field obtained with the Dark Energy Camera. We imaged part of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope…
Dusty WDs in the All Sky Survey SDSS
Sara D. Barber, Mukremin Kilic, Warren R. Brown +1
A recent cross-correlation between the SDSS DR7 White Dwarf Catalog with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer () all-sky photometry at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 microns perform…
SDSS J074511.56+194926.5: Discovery of a Metal-Rich and Tidally Distorted Extremely Low Mass White Dwarf
A. Gianninas, J. J. Hermes, Warren R. Brown +5
We present the discovery of an unusual, tidally-distorted extremely low mass white dwarf (WD) with nearly solar metallicity. Radial velocity measurements confirm that this is a com…
Habitable Planets Around White Dwarfs: an Alternate Mission for the Kepler Spacecraft
Mukremin Kilic, Eric Agol, Abraham Loeb +5
A large fraction of white dwarfs (WDs) may host planets in their habitable zones. These planets may provide our best chance to detect bio-markers on a transiting exoplanet, thanks…
The Frequency of Debris Disks at White Dwarfs
Sara D. Barber, Adam J. Patterson, Mukremin Kilic +4
We present near- and mid-infrared photometry and spectroscopy from PAIRITEL, IRTF, and Spitzer of a metallicity-unbiased sample of 117 cool, hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs from t…
The Discovery of a Debris Disk Around the DAV White Dwarf PG 1541+651
Mukremin Kilic, Adam J. Patterson, Sara Barber +2
To search for circumstellar disks around evolved stars, we targeted roughly 100 DA white dwarfs from the Palomar Green survey with the Peters Automated Infrared Imaging Telescope (…
The First HeI*λ10830 BALQSO
Karen M. Leighly, Matthias Dietrich, Sara Barber
We report the discovery of the first HeI*λ10830 broad absorption line quasar FBQS J1151+3822. Using new infrared and optical spectra, as well as the SDSS spectrum, we extracted the…
Discovery of very high energy gamma rays from PKS 1424+240 and multiwavelength constraints on its redshift
The VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, The Fermi Collaboration +4
We report the first detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission above 140 GeV from PKS 1424+240, a BL Lac object with an unknown redshift. The photon spectrum above 140…
