Ruling out the Orbital Decay of the WASP-43b Exoplanet
We present 15 new transit observations of the exoplanet WASP-43b in the i‧, g‧, and R filters with the 1.0 m telescopes of Las Cumbres Observatory Global...
Scaling slowly rotating asteroids with stellar occultations
Context. As evidenced by recent survey results, the majority of asteroids are slow rotators (spin periods longer than 12 h), but lack spin and shape models...
SDSS-IV MaStar: A Large and Comprehensive Empirical Stellar Spectral Library—First Release
We present the first release of the MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar), which is a large, well-calibrated, high-quality empirical library covering the wavelength...
Search and characterization of T-type planetary mass candidates in the σ Orionis cluster
Context. The proper characterization of the least massive population of the young σ Orionis star cluster is required to understand the form of the cluster mass...
Search for planets around stars with wide brown dwarfs
Aims: This work aims to better understand the role of wide brown dwarf companions in planetary systems. Methods: We obtained high-resolution spectra of six...
Search for radial velocity variations in eight M-dwarfs with NIRSPEC/Keck II
Context. Radial velocity (RV) measurements from near-infrared spectra have become a potentially powerful tool to search for planets around cool stars and sub...
Search for rings and satellites around the exoplanet CoRoT-9b using Spitzer photometry
Using Spitzer photometry at 4.5 microns, we search for rings and satellites around the long period transiting planet CoRoT-9b. We observed two transits in 2010...
Search for the sub-stellar lithium depletion boundary in the open star cluster Coma Berenices
Aims: We mainly aim to search for the lithium depletion boundary (LDB) among the sub-stellar population of the open star cluster Coma Berenices. Methods: Since...
Searching for the orbital period of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 1313 X-2
We analysed the longest phase-connected photometric data set available for NGC 1313 X-2, looking for the ˜6-day modulation reported by Liu et al.. The folded B...
