    • Absolute Properties of the Low-Mass Eclipsing Binary CM Draconis 

      Morales, Juan Carlos; Ribas, Ignasi; Jordi, Carme; Torres, Guillermo; Gallardo, Jose; Guinan, Edward F.; Charbonneau, David; Wolf, Marek; Latham, David W.; Anglada-Escude, Guillem; Bradstreet, David H.; Everett, Mark E.; O'Donovan, Francis T.; Mandushev, Georgi; Mathieu, Robert D. (Institute of Physics, 2009)
      Spectroscopic and eclipsing binary systems offer the best means for determining accurate physical properties of stars, including their masses and radii. The data available for low-mass stars have yielded firm evidence that ...
    • Mass and Radius Determinations for Five Transiting M-Dwarf Stars 

      Fernandez, Jose M.; Latham, David W.; Everett, Mark E.; Mandushev, Georgi; Charbonneau, David; O'Donovan, Francis T.; Alonso, Roi; Hergenrother, Carl W.; Stefanik, Robert P.; Torres, Guilermo; Esquerdo, Gilbert A. (Institute of Physics, 2009)
      We have derived masses and radii for both components in five short-period single-lined eclipsing binary stars discovered by the TrES wide-angle photometric survey for transiting planets. All these systems consist of a ...
    • A New Dynamical Model for the Black Hole Binary Lmc X-1 

      Orosz, Jerome A.; Steeghs, Danny; McClintock, Jeffrey E.; Torres, Manuel A. P.; Bochkov, Ivan; Gou, Lijun; Narayan, Ramesh; Blaschak, Michael; Levine, Alan M.; Remillard, Ronald A.; Bailyn, Charles D.; Dwyer, Morgan M.; Buxton, Michelle (IOP Publishing, 2009)
      We present a dynamical model of the high mass X-ray binary LMC X-1 based on high-resolution optical spectroscopy and extensive optical and nearinfrared photometry. From our new optical data we find an orbital period of P ...
