EXPLORE/OC: A Search for Planetary Transits in the Field of the Southern Open Cluster NGC 6208
Brian L. Lee, Kaspar von Braun, Gabriela Mallen-Ornelas +3
The EXPLORE Project expanded in 2003 to include a campaign to monitor rich southern open clusters for transits of extrasolar planets (EXPLORE/OC). In May and June 2003, we acquired…
EXPLORE/OC: A Search for Planetary Transits in the Field of NGC 2660
Kaspar von Braun, Brian Lee, Gabriela Mallen-Ornelas +3
We present preliminary photometric results of a monitoring study of the open cluster NGC 2660 as part of the EXPLORE/OC project to find planetary transits in Galactic open clusters…
Scattered Light from Close-in Extrasolar Planets: Prospects of Detection with the MOST Satellite
Daniel Green, Jaymie Matthews, Sara Seager +1
The ultra-precise photometric space satellite MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) will provide the first opportunity to measure the albedos and scattered light curves…
Detection of Close-In Extrasolar Giant Planets Using the Fourier-Kelvin Stellar Interferometer
William C. Danchi, Drake Deming, Marc J. Kuchner +1
We evaluate the direct detection of extrasolar giant planets with a two-aperture nulling infrared interferometer, working at angles , and using a new `ratio-of-two-waveleng…
Infrared Observations During the Secondary Eclipse of HD 209458 b II. Strong Limits on the Infrared Spectrum Near 2.2 Microns
L. Jeremy Richardson, Drake Deming, Sara Seager
We report observations of the transiting extrasolar planet, HD 209458 b, designed to detect the secondary eclipse. We employ the method of `occultation spectroscopy', which searche…
Source of Atomic Hydrogen in the Atmosphere of HD 209458b
Mao-Chang Liang, Christopher D. Parkinson, Anthony Y. -T. Lee +1
Atomic hydrogen loss at the top of HD 209458b's atmosphere has been recently detected Vidal-Madjar et al. 2003. We have developed a 1-dimensional model to study the chemistry in th…
