The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: III. Stellar Kinematics

N. A. Bond, Z. Ivezic, B. Sesar +2

We study Milky Way kinematics using a sample of 18.8 million main-sequence stars with r<20 and proper-motion measurements derived from SDSS and POSS astrometry, including ~170,000…

The Distance to NGC 2264

Eric J. Baxter, Kevin R. Covey, August A. Muench +3

We determine the distance to the open cluster NGC 2264 using a statistical analysis of cluster member inclinations. We derive distance-dependent values of sin i (where i is the inc…

First Magnetic Field Detection on a Class I Protostar

Christopher M. Johns-Krull, Thomas P. Greene, Greg W. Doppmann +1

Strong stellar magnetic fields are believed to truncate the inner accretion disks around young stars, redirecting the accreting material to the high latitude regions of the stellar…

The Formation and Architecture of Young Planetary Systems

Adam L. Kraus, Kevin Covey, Michael Liu +5

Newly-formed planetary systems with ages of <10 Myr offer many unique insights into the formation, evolution, and fundamental properties of extrasolar planets. These planets have f…
