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... -
Volume-limited sample of M7-M9.5 dwarfs <20pc
In a volume-limited sample of 63 ultracool dwarfs of spectral type M7-M9.5, we have obtained high-resolution spectroscopy with UVES at the Very Large Telescope and HIRES at Keck... -
MIR catalog of point sources in M33
The progenitors of SN 2008S and the 2008 luminous transient in NGC 300 were deeply dust-enshrouded massive stars, with extremely red mid-infrared (MIR) colors and relatively low... -
A debris disk study of Praesepe
We present 24um photometry of the intermediate-age open cluster Praesepe. We assemble a catalog of 193 probable cluster members that are detected in optical databases, the Two... -
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... -
griBVI photometry in M37
In the course of conducting a deep (14.5<~r<~23), 20 night survey for transiting planets in the rich ~550Myr old open cluster M37, we have measured the rotation periods of... -
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... -
IR photometry in the {gamma} Vel cluster
We present new Spitzer Space Telescope observations of stars in the young (~5Myr) {gamma} Velorum stellar cluster. Combining optical and 2MASS photometry, we have selected 579... -
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... -
Spitzer observations of the Hyades
We use the Spitzer Space Telescope to search for infrared excess at 24, 70, and 160um due to debris disks around a sample of 45 FGK-type members of the Hyades. We supplement our... -
L and T dwarfs in 2MASS/SDSS
We report new L and T dwarfs found in a cross-match of the SDSS Data Release 1 and 2MASS. Our simultaneous search of the two databases effectively allows us to relax the... -
Abundances on the main sequence of {omega} Cen
Abundance ratios of carbon, nitrogen, and strontium relative to iron, calculated using spectrum synthesis techniques, are given for a sample of main-sequence and turnoff stars... -
Characterization of dusty debris disks
Dusty debris disks around main-sequence stars are signposts for the existence of planetesimals and exoplanets. From cross-correlating Hipparcos stars with the IRAS catalogs, we... -
Spectra of T dwarfs. I.
We present near-infrared spectra for a sample of T dwarfs, including 11 new discoveries made using the 2 Micron All Sky Survey. These objects are distinguished from warmer... -
Radial velocity and photometry of TOI-677
TOI-677b is part of an emerging class of "tidally detached" gas giants (a/R*>~11) that exhibit large orbital eccentricities and yet low stellar obliquities. Such sources pose... -
Photometry obtained for TOI-2202b
The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have... -
Mass Production 2021 KMTNet Microlensing Planets. III
We present the analysis of three more planets from the KMTNet 2021 microlensing season. KMT-2021-BLG-0119Lb is a ~6M_Jup_ planet orbiting an early M-dwarf or a K-dwarf,...
