The Optical Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts
S. T. Holland
The optical afterglows of gamma-ray bursts can be used to probe the physics, geometry, and environments of gamma-ray bursts. In this article I discuss the how spectra and photometr…
Possible Transiting Planet Candidates from the EXPLORE Project
G. Mallen-Ornelas, S. Seager, H. K. C. Yee +5
The EXPLORE Project is a series of searches for transiting extrasolar planets using large-format mosaic CCD cameras on 4-m class telescopes. Radial velocity follow-up is done on tr…
The EXPLORE Project: A Deep Search for Transiting Extra-Solar Planets
H. K. C. Yee, G. Mallen-Ornelas, S. Seager +5
Searching for transits provides a very promising technique for finding close-in extra-solar planets. Transiting planets present the advantage of allowing one to determine physical…
A Spectroscopic Survey of a Sample of Active M Dwarfs
Stefan W. Mochnacki, Michael D. Gladders, James R. Thomson +10
A moderate resolution spectroscopic survey of Fleming's sample of 54 X-ray selected M dwarfs with photometric distances less than 25 pc is presented. Radial and rotation velocities…
Weak lensing study of galaxy biasing
Henk Hoekstra, Ludo van Waerbeke, Michael D. Gladders +2
We combine weak lensing measurements from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey and the VIRMOS-DESCART survey, and present the first direct measurements of the bias parameter b and the g…
Excursions into the Evolution of Early-Type Galaxies in Clusters
Omar Lopez-Cruz, David Schade, L. Felipe Barrientos +3
Recent observations have revealed that early-type galaxies (ETG) in clusters comprise an old galaxy population that is evolving passively. We review some recent observations from t…
