Planets in the Galactic Bulge: Results from the SWEEPS Project
Kailash C. Sahu, Stefano Casertano, Jeff Valenti +13
The exoplanets discovered so far have been mostly around relatively nearby and bright stars. As a result, the host stars are mostly (i) in the Galactic disk, (ii) relatively massiv…
Asteroseismology and Interferometry
M. S. Cunha, C. Aerts, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard +22
Asteroseismology provides us with a unique opportunity to improve our understanding of stellar structure and evolution. Recent developments, including the first systematic studies…
TrES-4: A Transiting Hot Jupiter of Very Low Density
Georgi Mandushev, Francis T. O'Donovan, David Charbonneau +12
We report the discovery of TrES-4, a hot Jupiter that transits the star GSC 02620-00648 every 3.55 days. From high-resolution spectroscopy of the star we estimate a stellar effecti…
TrES-3: A Nearby, Massive, Transiting Hot Jupiter in a 31-Hour Orbit
Francis T. O'Donovan, David Charbonneau, Gáspár Á. Bakos +16
We describe the discovery of a massive transiting hot Jupiter with a very short orbital period (1.30619 d), which we name TrES-3. From spectroscopy of the host star GSC 03089-00929…
The complementary roles of interferometry and asteroseismology in determining the mass of solar-type stars
O. L. Creevey, M. J. P. F. G. Monteiro, T. S. Metcalfe +3
How important is an independent diameter measurement for the determination of stellar parameters of solar-type stars? When coupled with seismic observables, how well can we determi…
Asteroseismology with the Kepler mission
J. Christensen-Dalsgaard, T. Arentoft, T. M. Brown +4
NASA's Kepler mission will fly a photometer based on a wide-field Schmidt camera with a 0.95 m aperture, staring at a single field continuously for at least 4 years. Although the m…
