Constraining the difference in convective blueshift between the components of alpha Centauri with precise radial velocities
- D. Pourbaix, D. Nidever, +12 authors D. Kent
- Physics
- 21 February 2002
New radial velocities of Cen A & B obtained in the framework the Anglo-Australian Planet Search programme as well as in the CORALIE programme are added to those by Endl et al. (2001) to improve the… Expand
The intermediate-age brown dwarf LP 944-20

- 17 January 1998
Observations are presented which show that Li I λ 6708 is detected with an equivalent width of 0.53 ± 0.05A in the proper-motion object LP 944-20 (which is also known as BRI 0337-3535). Hα is… Expand
Discovery of a Very Young Field L Dwarf, 2MASS J01415823-4633574

A Sample of Very Young Field L Dwarfs and Implications for the Brown Dwarf “Lithium Test” at Early Ages*
- J. Kirkpatrick, K. Cruz, +9 authors J. Stauffer
- Physics
- 22 August 2008
Using a large sample of optical spectra of late-type dwarfs, we identify a subset of late-M through L field dwarfs that, because of the presence of low-gravity features in their spectra, are believed… Expand
Two New Planets from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search
Precise Doppler measurements from the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) UCLES spectrometer reveal periodic Keplerian velocity variations in the stars HD 160691 and HD 27442. HD 160691 has a period of… Expand

We report final results from our 2.5 yr infrared parallax program carried out with the European Southern Observatory 3.5 m New Technology Telescope and the SOFI infrared camera. Our program targeted… Expand
Solar-like Oscillations in α Centauri B

- Physics
- 29 August 2005
We have made velocity observations of the star α Centauri B from two sites, allowing us to identify 37 oscillation modes with l = 0-3. Fitting to these modes gives the large and small frequency… Expand
Periodic photometric variability of the brown dwarf Kelu-1
We have detected a strong periodicity of 1.80±0.05 h in photometric observations of the brown dwarf Kelu-1. The peak-to-peak amplitude of the variation is ∼1.1 per cent (11.9±0.8 mmag) in a 41-nm… Expand
Four New Exoplanets and Hints of Additional Substellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars
- J. Wright, G. W. Marcy, +8 authors K. Apps
- Physics
- 21 November 2006
We present four new exoplanets: HIP 14810b and HIP 14810c, HD 154345b, and HD 187123c. The two planets orbiting HIP 14810, from the N2K project, have masses of 3.9 and 0.76 M_J. We have searched the… Expand
