Binaries Like to be Twins: Implications for Doubly Degenerate Binaries, the Supernova Ia Rate and Other Interacting Binaries
M. H. Pinsonneault, K. Z. Stanek
The recent sample of 21 detached eclipsing binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud (Harries et al. 2003, Hilditch et al. 2005) provides a valuable test of the binary mass function f…
UBVRI Light Curves of 44 Type Ia Supernovae
Saurabh Jha, Robert P. Kirshner, Peter Challis +2
We present UBVRI photometry of 44 type-Ia supernovae (SN Ia) observed from 1997 to 2001 as part of a continuing monitoring campaign at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory of the…
A Gamma-Ray Burst Mission to Investigate the Properties of Dark Energy
D. Q. Lamb, G. R. Ricker, D. Lazzati +26
[Abridged] Very recently, relations between the peak energy of Gamma-Ray Burst burst spectra, the isotropic-equivalent energy of the burst, and the radiated energy of the burst hav…
Discovery of nine quasars behind the Large Magellanic Cloud
A. Dobrzycki, L. Eyer, K. Z. Stanek +1
We present the discovery of nine quasars behind the Large Magellanic Cloud, with emission redshifts ranging from 0.07 to 2.0. Six of them were identified as part of the systematic…
Pushing the Limits of Ground-Based Photometric Precision -- Sub-Millimagnitude Time-Series Photometry of the Open Cluster NGC 6791
J. D. Hartman, K. Z. Stanek, B. S. Gaudi +2
We present the results from a three night, time-series study of the open cluster NGC 6791 using the Megacam wide-field mosaic CCD camera on the 6.5m MMT telescope. The aim of this…
On the Rotation Period of (90377) Sedna
B. Scott Gaudi, Krzysztof Z. Stanek, Joel D. Hartman +2
We present precise, ~1%, r-band relative photometry of the unusual solar system object (90377) Sedna. Our data consist of 143 data points taken over eight nights in October 2004 an…
