Global Axisymmetric Magnetorotational Instability With Density Gradients
(2008-05)
We examine global incompressible axisymmetric perturbations of a differentially rotating MHD plasma with radial density gradients. It is shown that the standard magnetorotational instability (MRI) criterion drawn from the ...
The Factory And The Beehive. II. Activity And Rotation In Praesepe And The Hyades
(2014-11)
Open clusters are collections of stars with a single, well-determined age, and can be used to investigate the connections between angular-momentum evolution and magnetic activity over a star's lifetime. We present the ...
Planetary Candidates Observed By Kepler. Vi. Planet Sample from Q1-Q16 (47 Months)
(2015-04)
We present the sixth catalog of Kepler candidate planets based on nearly four years of high precision photometry. This catalog builds on the legacy of previous catalogs released by the Kepler project and includes 1493 new ...
The Beta Pictoris Disk Imaged By Herschel PACS And SPIRE
(2010)
We obtained Herschel PACS and SPIRE images of the thermal emission of the debris disk around the A5V star beta Pic. The disk is well resolved in the PACS filters at 70, 100, and 160 mu m. The surface brightness profiles ...
SDSS J142625.71+575218.3: the First Pulsating White Dwarf With A Large Detectable Magnetic Field
(2008-08)
We report the discovery of a strong magnetic field in the unique pulsating carbon- atmosphere white dwarf SDSS J142625.71 + 575218.3. From spectra gathered at the MMT and Keck telescopes, we infer a surface field of B(s) ...
Discovery of a Dynamical Cold Point in the Heart of the Sagittarius dSph Galaxy With Observations from the APOGEE Project
(2013-11)
The dynamics of the core of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy are explored using high-resolution (R similar to 22,500), H-band, near-infrared spectra of over 1000 giant stars in the central 3 deg(2) of ...
The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping Survey: Local Galactic Metallicity Gradient with APOGEE Using SDSS DR10
(2013-11)
The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based data set for hundreds of open clusters, and constrain key Galactic dynamical and chemical parameters ...
New ATLAS9 And MARCS Model Atmosphere Grids For The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE)
(2012-10)
We present a new grid of model photospheres for the SDSS-III/APOGEE survey of stellar populations of the Galaxy, calculated using the ATLAS9 and MARCS codes. New opacity distribution functions were generated to calculate ...
An Alma Disk Mass for the Candidate Protoplanetary Companion to FW Tau
(2015-01)
We present ALMA observations of the FW Tau system, a close binary pair of M5 stars with a wide-orbit (300 AU projected separation) substellar companion. The companion is extremely faint and red in the optical and near-infrared, ...
Limits On Planets Around Pulsating White Dwarf Stars
(2008-03)
We present limits on planetary companions to pulsating white dwarf stars. A subset of these stars exhibit extreme stability in the period and phase of some of their pulsation modes; a planet can be detected around such a ...
