THE 2MASS REDSHIFT SURVEY—DESCRIPTION AND DATA RELEASE
- J. HuchraL. Macri M. Westover
- 2 August 2011
Physics
We present the results of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), a ten-year project to map the full three-dimensional distribution of galaxies in the nearby universe. The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS)…
CfA3: 185 TYPE Ia SUPERNOVA LIGHT CURVES FROM THE CfA
- M. HickenP. Challis P. Zhao
- 30 January 2009
Physics
We present multiband photometry of 185 type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), with over 11,500 observations. These were acquired between 2001 and 2008 at the F. L. Whipple Observatory of the…
Kepler-16: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet
- L. DoyleJ. Carter D. Fischer
- 15 September 2011
Physics
The detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars, comparable to Saturn in mass and size and on a nearly circular 229-day orbit around its two parent stars, suggests that the planet formed within a circumbinary disk.
Spectroscopic Discovery of the Supernova 2003dh Associated with GRB 030329
- K. StanekT. Matheson D. Bersier
- 10 April 2003
Physics
We present early observations of the afterglow of GRB 030329 and the spectroscopic discovery of its associated supernova SN 2003dh. We obtained spectra of the afterglow of GRB 030329 each night from…
The Updated Zwicky Catalog (UZC)
- E. FalcoMichael J. Kurtz Barbara Elwell
- 20 April 1999
Physics
The Zwicky Catalog of galaxies (ZC), with mZw≤15.5, has been the basis for the Center for Astrophysics (CfA) redshift surveys. To date, analyses of the ZC and redshift surveys based on it have relied…
Spectral Analysis and Classification of Herbig Ae/Be Stars
- J. HernándezN. CalvetC. BriceñoL. HartmannP. Berlind
- 1 March 2004
Physics
We present an analysis of the optical spectra of 75 early-type emission-line stars, many of which have been classified previously as Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars. Accurate spectral types were derived…
A Study of the Type II-Plateau Supernova 1999gi and the Distance to its Host Galaxy, NGC 3184
- D. LeonardA. Filippenko A. Mahdavi
- 29 July 2002
Physics
We present optical spectra and photometry sampling the first 6 months after discovery of supernova (SN) 1999gi in NGC 3184. SN 1999gi is shown to be a Type II-plateau event with a photometric plateau…
UBVRI Light Curves of 44 Type Ia Supernovae
- S. JhaR. Kirshner K. Stanek
- 8 September 2005
Physics
We present UBVRI photometry of 44 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed from 1997 to 2001 as part of a continuing monitoring campaign at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory of the…
Herbig Ae/Be Stars in nearby OB Associations
- J. HernándezN. CalvetL. HartmannC. BriceñoA. Sicilia-AguilarP. Berlind
- 20 October 2004
Physics
We have carried out a study of the early-type stars in nearby OB associations spanning an age range of ∼3–16 Myr, with the aim of determining the fraction of stars that belong to the Herbig Ae/Be…
SN 2002cx: The Most Peculiar Known Type Ia Supernova
- Weidong LiA. Filippenko Sirtf
- 22 January 2003
Physics
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of supernova (SN) 2002cx, which reveal it to be unique among all observed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). SN 2002cx exhibits an SN 1991T–like…
