Transit Lightcurve Signatures of Artificial Objects
The forthcoming space missions, able to detect Earth-like planets by the transit method, will a fortiori also be able to detect the transit of artificial planet-size objects. Multiple artificial objects would produce lightcurves easily distinguish-able from natural transits. If only one artificial object transits, detecting its artificial nature becomes more difficult. We discuss the case of th...
متن کاملClosure Phase Signatures of Planet Transit Events
Planet transit events present as attractive targets for the ultra-high-resolution capabilities afforded by optical interferometers. Herein is presented an evaluation of the possibility of detection of such events through measurement of high-precision closure phases with the MIRC instrument on the CHARA Array. Recovery of the transit position angle upon the sky appears readily achievable with th...
متن کاملA SYSTEM OF THREE PLANETS CONFIRMED BY TRANSIT TIMING VARIATIONS, LIGHTCURVE VALIDATION, Warm-Spitzer PHOTOMETRY AND RADIAL VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS
We report the detection of three transiting planets around a Sunlike star, which we designate Kepler18. The transit signals were detected in photometric data from the Kepler satellite, and were confirmed to arise from planets using a combination of large transit-timing variations, radial-velocity variations, Warm-Spitzer observations, and statistical analysis of false-positive probabilities. Th...
متن کاملACanonical High EnergyAfterglowEmission LightCurve?
We present self consistent calculations of Synchrotron self Compton (SSC) radiation that takes place within the afterglow blast wave and External inverse Compton (EIC) radiation that takes place when flare photons (produced by an internal process) pass through the blast wave. We show that if our current interpretations of the Swift XRT data are correct, there should be a canonical high energy a...
متن کاملAccretion Signatures from Massive Young Stellar Objects
High resolution (λ/∆λ = 50,000) K−band spectra of massive, embedded, young stellar objects are presented. The present sample consists of four massive young stars located in nascent clusters powering Galactic giant H II regions. Emission in the 2.3 μm 2–0 vibrational–rotational bandhead of CO is observed. A range of velocity broadened profiles seen in three of the objects is consistent with the ...
