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…

ZEN2: A narrow J-band search for z~9 Lya emitting galaxies directed towards three lensing clusters

J. P. Willis, F. Courbin, J. P. Kneib +1

We present the results of a continuing survey to detect Lya emitting galaxies at redshifts z~9: the ZEN ("z equals nine'') survey. We have obtained deep VLT/ISAAC observations in t…

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…
