Transiting extrasolar planetary candidates in the Galactic bulge
Kailash C. Sahu, Stefano Casertano, Howard E. Bond +13
More than 200 extrasolar planets have been discovered around relatively nearby stars, primarily through the Doppler line shifts owing to the reflex motions of their host stars, and…
The `666' collaboration on OGLE transits: I. Accurate radius of the planets OGLE-TR-10b and OGLE-TR-56b with VLT deconvolution photometry
Frederic Pont, Claire Moutou, Michael Gillon +14
Transiting planets are essential to study the structure and evolution of extra-solar planets. For that purpose, it is important to measure precisely the radius of these planets. He…
VLT-UVES abundance analysis of four giants in NGC 6553
A. Alves-Brito, B. Barbuy, M. Zoccali +9
Metal-rich globular clusters trace the formation of bulges. Abundance ratios in the metal-rich globular clusters such as NGC 6553 can constrain the formation timescale of the Galac…
Lightcurves of Type Ia Supernovae from Near the Time of Explosion
Arti Garg, Christopher W. Stubbs, Peter Challis +18
We present a set of 11 type Ia supernova (SN Ia) lightcurves with dense, pre-maximum sampling. These supernovae (SNe), in galaxies behind the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), were dis…
HST Proper Motions and Stellar Dynamics in the Core of the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae
Dean E. McLaughlin, Jay Anderson, Georges Meylan +4
We have used HST imaging of the central regions (R<100 arcsec, about 5 core radii) of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae to derive proper motions and U- and V-band magnitudes for 14,3…
The Araucaria Project. An Accurate Distance to the Local Group Galaxy NGC 6822 from Near-Infrared Photometry of Cepheid Variables
W. Gieren, G. Pietrzynski, K. Nalewajko +5
We have measured near-infrared magnitudes in the J and K bands for 56 Cepheid variables in the Local Group galaxy NGC 6822 with well-determined periods and optical light curves in…
