Kepler Mission Design, Realized Photometric Performance, and Early Science
David G. Koch, William J. Borucki, Gibor Basri +44
The Kepler Mission, launched on Mar 6, 2009 was designed with the explicit capability to detect Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars using the transit photo…
Kepler Asteroseismology Program: Introduction and First Results
Ronald L. Gilliland, T. M. Brown, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard +32
Asteroseismology involves probing the interiors of stars and quantifying their global properties, such as radius and age, through observationsof normal modes of oscillation. The te…
Ultraviolet Study of the Active Interacting Binary Star R Arae using Archival IUE Data
Phillip A. Reed, George E. McCluskey, Yoji Kondo +7
The eclipsing and strongly interacting binary star system R Arae (HD149730) is in a very active and very short-lived stage of its evolution. R Ara consists of a B9V primary and an…
Multiwavelength Observations of a Dramatic High Energy Flare in the Blazar 3C 279
A. E. Wehrle, E. Pian, C. M. Urry +3
The blazar 3C 279, one of the brightest identified extragalactic objects in the gamma-ray sky, underwent a flare of a factor 10 amplitude in gamma-rays towards the end of a 3-week…
Multiwavelength Monitoring of the BL Lac Object PKS 2155-304 I. The IUE Campaign
C. M. Urry
Daily monitoring of PKS 2155-304 with the IUE satellite throughout November 1991 has revealed dramatic, large-amplitude, rapid variations in the ultraviolet flux of this BL Lac obj…
