Possible Transiting Planet Candidates from the EXPLORE Project
G. Mallen-Ornelas, S. Seager, H. K. C. Yee +5
The EXPLORE Project is a series of searches for transiting extrasolar planets using large-format mosaic CCD cameras on 4-m class telescopes. Radial velocity follow-up is done on tr…
The EXPLORE Project: A Deep Search for Transiting Extra-Solar Planets
H. K. C. Yee, G. Mallen-Ornelas, S. Seager +5
Searching for transits provides a very promising technique for finding close-in extra-solar planets. Transiting planets present the advantage of allowing one to determine physical…
Spatially resolved STIS spectra of the gravitationally lensed BAL quasar APM08279+5255: the nature of component C and evidence for microlensing
Geraint F. Lewis, Rodrigo A. Ibata, Sara L. Ellison +4
While gravitationally lensed quasars are expected to display an odd number of images, invariably systems are observed with an even number of quasars. For this, lensing galaxies mus…
The EXPLORE Project I: A Deep Search for Transiting Extrasolar Planets
G. Mallen-Ornelas, S. Seager, H. K. C. Yee +4
(Abridged) We discuss the design considerations of the EXPLORE (EXtra-solar PLanet Occultation REsearch) project, a series of transiting planet searches using 4-m-class telescopes…
