Detection of Thermal Emission from an Extrasolar Planet
David Charbonneau, Lori E. Allen, S. Thomas Megeath +8
We present Spitzer Space Telescope infrared photometric time series of the transiting extrasolar planet system TrES-1. The data span a predicted time of secondary eclipse, correspo…
The Challenge of Wide-Field Transit Surveys: The Case of GSC 01944-02289
Georgi Mandushev, Guillermo Torres, David W. Latham +7
Wide-field searches for transiting extra-solar giant planets face the difficult challenge of separating true transit events from the numerous false positives caused by isolated or…
TrES-1: The Transiting Planet of a Bright K0V Star
Roi Alonso, Timothy M. Brown, Guillermo Torres +9
We report the detection of a transiting Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a relatively bright (V=11.79) K0V star. We detected the transit light-curve signature in the course of the TrE…
Chemical Abundances in the Carina dSph Galaxy
Tammy A. Smecker-Hane, Georgi I. Mandushev, James E. Hesser +3
We report on the chemical abundances of stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) derived from low-resolution spectra. We have determined values of [Fe/H] for 52 stars fro…
Shades of Black: Searching for Brown Dwarfs & Giant Planets
Gordon Walker, Scott Chapman, Georgi Mandushev +4
We have searched, so far in vain, for brown dwarfs or giant planets in the vicinity of several nearby stars using cameras built at Universite de Montreal attached to the CFHT Adapt…
