Robotic Laser-Adaptive-Optics Imaging of 715 Kepler Exoplanet Candidates using Robo-AO
Nicholas M. Law, Tim Morton, Christoph Baranec +12
The Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey is designed to observe every Kepler planet candidate host star with laser adaptive optics imaging to search for blended nearby stars,…
Rise of the machines: first year operations of the Robo-AO visible-light laser-adaptive optics instrument
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, Nicholas M. Law +11
Robo-AO is the first autonomous laser adaptive optics system and science instrument operating on sky. With minimal human oversight, the system robotically executes large scale surv…
Characterizing the Cool KOIs. V. KOI-256: A Mutually Eclipsing Post-Common Envelope Binary
Philip S. Muirhead, Andrew Vanderburg, Avi Shporer +23
We report that Kepler Object of Interest 256 (KOI-256) is a mutually eclipsing post-common envelope binary (ePCEB), consisting of a cool white dwarf (M = 0.592 +/- 0.089 MSun, R =…
Bringing the Visible Universe into Focus with Robo-AO
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, Nicholas M. Law +13
Light from astronomical objects must travel through the earth's turbulent atmosphere before it can be imaged by ground-based telescopes. To enable direct imaging at maximum theoret…
