The Transit Light Curve Project. V. System Parameters and Stellar Rotation Period of HD 189733
Joshua N. Winn, Matthew J. Holman, Gregory W. Henry +8
We present photometry of HD 189733 during eight transits of its close-in giant planet, and out-of-transit photometry spanning two years. Using the transit photometry, we determine…
Nucleosynthetic signatures of the first stars
Anna Frebel, Wako Aoki, Norbert Christlieb +16
The chemically most primitive stars provide constraints on the nature of the first stellar objects that formed in the Universe; elements other than hydrogen, helium and traces of l…
The Light Elements Be and B as Stellar Chronometers in the Early Galaxy
Timothy C. Beers, Takeru K. Suzuki, Yuzuru Yoshii
Recent detailed simulations of Galactic Chemical Evolution have shown that the heavy elements, in particular [Fe/H], are expected to exhibit a weak, or absent, correlation with ste…
The origin of galactic disks with exponential z-profiles
A. Burkert, Y. Yoshii
A new solution is presented for the puzzling, observed universality of the exponential luminosity profiles, perpendicular to the disk plane of spiral and lenticular galaxies. It is…
