Planets in the Galactic Bulge: Results from the SWEEPS Project
Kailash C. Sahu, Stefano Casertano, Jeff Valenti +13
The exoplanets discovered so far have been mostly around relatively nearby and bright stars. As a result, the host stars are mostly (i) in the Galactic disk, (ii) relatively massiv…
A Search for EHB Pulsators in the Globular Cluster NGC 6752
M. Catelan, G. E. Prieto, M. Zoccali +8
We describe the status of a project whose main goal is to detect variability along the extreme horizontal branch of the globular cluster NGC 6752. Based on Magellan 6.5m data, prel…
Millimagnitude Photometry for Transiting Extrasolar Planetary Candidates IV: The Puzzle of the Extremely Red OGLE-TR-82 Primary Solved
Sergio Hoyer, Sebastian Ramirez Alegria, Valentin D. Ivanov +12
We present precise new V, I, and K-band photometry for the planetary transit candidate star OGLE-TR-82. Good seeing V-band images acquired with VIMOS instrument at ESO VLT allowed…
Millimagnitude Photometry for Transiting Extrasolar Planetary Candidates III: Accurate Radius and Period for OGLE-TR-111-b
Dante Minniti, José Miguel Fernández, Rodrigo F. Díaz +6
We present accurate V-band photometry for a planetary transit of OGLE-TR-111 acquired with VIMOS at the ESO Very Large Telescope. The measurement of this transit allows to refine t…
Millimagnitude Photometry for Transiting Extrasolar Planetary Candidates: II. Transits of OGLE-TR-113-b in the Optical and Near-IR
Rodrigo F. Díaz, Sebastián Ramírez, José Miguel Fernández +10
We present precise V and Ks-band transit photometry for the planetary host star OGLE-TR-113. Using the Ks-band photometry, we confirm the dwarf nature of OGLE-TR-113, and obtain ne…
Completing the Census of (Bright) Variable Stars in Galactic Globular Clusters
M. Catelan, H. A. Smith, B. J. Pritzl +15
We present a long-term project aimed at completing the census of (bright) variable stars in Galactic globular clusters. While our main aim is to obtain a reliable assessment of the…
