Detection of periodic signals in AGN red noise light curves: empirical tests on the Auto-Correlation Function and Phase Dispersion Minimization

S. Krishnan, A. G. Markowitz, A. Schwarzenberg-Czerny +1

Active galactic nucleus (AGN) emission is dominated by stochastic, aperiodic variability which overwhelms any periodic/quasi-periodic signal (QPO) if one is present. The Auto Corre…

The Cluster Ages Experiment (CASE). VIII. Age and Distance of the Globular Cluster 47 Tuc from the Analysis of Two Detached Eclipsing Binaries

I. B. Thompson, A. Udalski, A. Dotter +20

We use photometric and spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing binary E32 in the globular cluster 47 Tuc to derive the masses, radii, and luminosities of the component stars. T…
