De-Trending Time Series for Astronomical Variability Surveys
Dae-Won Kim, Pavlos Protopapas, Charles Alcock +2
We present a de-trending algorithm for the removal of trends in time series. Trends in time series could be caused by various systematic and random noise sources such as cloud pass…
The Binarity of the Magellanic Clouds and the Formation of the Magellanic Stream
Gurtina Besla, Nitya Kallivayalil, Lars Hernquist +4
The HST proper motion (PM) measurements of the Clouds have severe implications for their interaction history with the Milky Way (MW) and with each other. The Clouds are likely on t…
New Analysis of the Proper Motions of the Magellanic Clouds using HST/WFPC2
Nitya Kallivayalil, Roeland P. van der Marel, Jay Anderson +2
In HST Cycles 11 and 13 we obtained two epochs of ACS/HRC data for fields in the Magellanic Clouds centered on background quasars. We used these data to determine the proper motion…
First Results From The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS)
Z. -W. Zhang, F. B. Bianco, M. J. Lehner +22
Results from the first two years of data from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) are presented. Stars have been monitored photometrically at 4 Hz or 5 Hz to search fo…
Artificial Intelligence Approach to the Determination of Physical Properties of Eclipsing Binaries. I. The EBAI Project
A. Prsa, E. F. Guinan, E. J. Devinney +5
Achieving maximum scientific results from the overwhelming volume of astronomical data to be acquired over the next few decades will demand novel, fully automatic methods of data a…
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey: The Multi-Telescope Robotic Observatory
M. J. Lehner, C. -Y. Wen, J. -H. Wang +16
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) operates four fully automatic telescopes to search for occultations of stars by Kuiper Belt Objects. It is a versatile facility tha…
