    • The 4.5 µm full-orbit phase curve of the hot Jupiter HD 209458B 

      Zellem, Robert T.; Lewis, Nikole K.; Knutson, Heather A.; Griffith, Caitlin A.; Showman, Adam P.; Fortney, Jonathan J.; Cowan, Nicolas B.; Agol, Eric; Burrows, Adam; Charbonneau, David; Deming, Drake; Laughlin, Gregory; Langton, Jonathan (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      The hot Jupiter HD 209458b is particularly amenable to detailed study as it is among the brightest transiting exoplanet systems currently known (V-mag = 7.65; K-mag = 6.308) and has a large planet-to-star contrast ratio. ...

    • All-Weather Calibration of Wide-Field Optical and NIR Surveys 

      Burke, David L.; Saha, Abhijit; Claver, Jenna; Axelrod, T.; Claver, Chuck; DePoy, Darren; Ivezić, Željko; Jones, Lynne; Smith, R. Chris; Stubbs, Christopher William (IOP Publishing, 2013)
      The science goals for ground-based large-area surveys, such as the Dark Energy Survey, Pan-STARRS, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, require calibration of broadband photometry that is stable in time and uniform ...

    • Atmospheric Phase Correction Using Total Power Radiometry at the Submillimeter Array 

      Battat, James Benjamin Royston; Blundell, Raymond; Moran, James M.; Paine, Scott (IOP Publishing, 2004)
      Phase noise caused by an inhomogeneous, time-variable water vapor distribution in our atmosphere reduces the angular resolution, visibility amplitude and coherence time of millimeter and submillimeter wavelength interferometers. ...

    • Orbital Phase Variations of the Eccentric Giant Planet Hat-P-2b 

      Lewis, Nikole K.; Knutson, Heather A.; Showman, Adam P.; Cowan, Nicolas B.; Laughlin, Gregory; Burrows, Adam; Deming, Drake; Crepp, Justin R.; Mighell, Kenneth J.; Agol, Eric; Bakos, Gáspár Á.; Charbonneau, David; Désert, Jean-Michel; Fischer, Debra A.; Fortney, Jonathan J.; Hartman, Joel D.; Hinkley, Sasha; Howard, Andrew W.; Johnson, John Asher; Kao, Melodie; Langton, Jonathan; Marcy, Geoffrey W. (IOP Publishing, 2013)
      We present the first secondary eclipse and phase curve observations for the highly eccentric hot Jupiter HAT-P-2b in the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm bands of the Spitzer Space Telescope. The 3.6 and 4.5 μm data sets span an ...

    • Photometric Calibration of the First 1.5 Years of the Pan-STARRS1 Survey 

      Schlafly, E. F.; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Juric, M.; Magnier, E. A.; Burgett, W. S.; Chambers, K; Grav, T.; Hodapp, K. W.; Kaiser, N.; Kudritzki, R.-P.; Martin, N. F.; Morgan, J. S.; Price, P. A.; Rix, H.-W.; Stubbs, Christopher William; Tonry, J. L.; Wainscoat, R. J. (IOP Publishing, 2012)
      We present a precise photometric calibration of the first 1.5 years of science imaging from the Pan-STARRS1 survey (PS1), an ongoing optical survey of the entire sky north of declination –30° in five bands. Building on the ...
