Kepler planetary candidates. II.
On 2011 February 1 the Kepler mission released data for 156453 stars observed from the beginning of the science observations on 2009 May 2 through September 16. There are 1235... -
Lithium abundances in stars with planets
This work presents a homogeneous determination of lithium abundances in a large sample of giant-planet-hosting stars (N=117) and a control sample of disk stars without detected... -
Lithium and proton-capture elements in 47 Tuc
Previous surveys in a few metal-poor globular clusters (GCs) showed that the determination of abundances for Li and proton-capture elements offers a key tool to address the... -
Abundances in two Galactic bulge stars
We present abundance analyses based on high dispersion and high signal-to-noise ratio Magellan spectra of two highly microlensed Galactic bulge stars in the region of the... -
Extinction in star-forming regions
Using Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph observations of G0-M4III stars behind dark clouds, I construct 5-20um empirical extinction curves for 0.3<=A_K_<7, which is equivalent... -
Spectroscopy of the Galactic bar. I.
We use Fabry-Perot absorption line imaging spectroscopy to measure radial velocities using the CaII line in 3360 stars toward three lines of sight in the Milky Way's bar:... -
Debris disks in NGC 2232
We describe Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations of the nearby 25Myr old open cluster NGC 2232. Combining these data with ROSAT All-Sky Survey observations, proper motions, and... -
ChaMPlane X-ray sources in the Galactic bulge
We have carried out optical and X-ray spectral analyses on a sample of 136 candidate optical counterparts of X-ray sources found in five Galactic bulge fields included in our... -
Abundances in OGLE-2007-BLG-349S
We present an abundance analysis based on high-dispersion and high signal-to-noise ratio Keck spectra of a very highly microlensed Galactic bulge dwarf, OGLE-2007-BLG-349S, with... -
High-resolution spectrum of OGLE-2006-BLG-265
We present an R=45000 Keck spectrum of the microlensed Galactic bulge G dwarf OGLE-2006-BLG-265, which has high (~60) signal-to-noise ratio despite its short (15 minute)... -
Near-IR spectral classification of T dwarfs
A revised near-infrared classification scheme for T dwarfs is presented, based on and superseding prior schemes developed by Burgasser and coworkers (2002ApJ...564..421B) and... -
Debris disks around solar-type stars
We have searched for infrared excesses around a well-defined sample of 69 FGK main-sequence field stars. These stars were selected without regard to their age, metallicity, or... -
Low-mass stars found in CFHTLS
We present preliminary results of a new quasar survey being undertaken with multicolor optical imaging from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The current data consist of... -
Spitzer 24{mu}m photometry of A dwarfs
We report new Spitzer 24{mu}m photometry of 76 main-sequence A-type stars. We combine these results with previously reported Spitzer 24{mu}m data and 24 and 25{mu}m photometry... -
Candidate main-sequence stars
Vega-like sources are main-sequence stars that exhibit IR fluxes in excess of expectations for stellar photospheres, most likely due to reradiation of stellar emission... -
2MASS M-dwarf discoveries
We have obtained follow-up spectroscopy of eight late dwarf candidates discovered in a 105deg^2^ area observed with the 2MASS (2 Micron All-Sky Survey) Prototype Camera during... -
X-Ray emission from solar-type stars: F and G
Results of a volume-limited X-ray survey of stars of luminosity classes IV and V in the spectral range F7-G9 observed with the Einstein Observatory are presented. Using survival... -
M dwarfs flares timing & energy from TESS & Swift
Ultraviolet flare emission can drive photochemistry in exoplanet atmospheres and even serve as the primary source of uncertainty in atmospheric retrievals. Additionally, flare... -
Phot. & RVs for 6 giant planets around cool dwarfs
Transiting giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars (GEMS) are rare, owing to the low-mass host stars. However, the all-sky coverage of TESS has enabled the detection of an... -
Coronographic observations for M dwarfs companions
We present Super-RDI, a unique framework for the application of reference star differential imaging (RDI) to Keck/NIRC2 high-contrast imaging observations with the vortex...
