Calibration trending in the Spitzer beyond era
Patrick J. Lowrance,Jessica Krick,J. Ingalls,Seppo Laine,Sean Carey,William J. Glaccum,Joseph L. Hora,Carl J. Grillmair +7 more
TL;DR: The IRAC IST created a calibration trending web page, available to the general astronomy community, where the team posts updates of three most pertinent scientific stability measures of the IRAC data: calibration, bias, and bad pixels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spitzer IRAC Sparsely Sampled Phase Curve of the Exoplanet WASP-14b
Jessica Krick,James G. Ingalls,Sean Carey,K. von Braun,Stephen R. Kane,David R. Ciardi,Peter Plavchan,Ian Wong,Patrick J. Lowrance +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a technique of randomly and sparsely sampling phase curves of hot Jupiters is proposed to recover physical parameters for the transit and eclipse depths as well as amplitude and maximum and minimum of the phase curve shape of this slightly eccentric hot Jupiter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herschel Observations of Disks around Late-type Stars
Angelle Tanner,Peter Plavchan,Geoff Bryden,Grant M. Kennedy,Luca Matrà,Patrick Cronin-Coltsmann,Patrick J. Lowrance,Todd J. Henry,Basmah Riaz,John E. Gizis,Adric R. Riedel,Elodie Choquet +11 more
TL;DR: A set of twenty late-type (K5-M5) stars were observed with the Herschel Space Observatory at 100 and 160 microns with the goal of searching for far-infrared excesses indicative of the presence of circumstellar disks as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloud Atlas: Discovery of Rotational Spectral Modulations in a Low-mass, L-type Brown Dwarf Companion to a Star
Elena Manjavacas,Daniel Apai,Yifan Zhou,Theodora Karalidi,Theodora Karalidi,Ben W. P. Lew,Glenn Schneider,Nicolas B. Cowan,S. Metchev,Paulo A. Miles-Páez,Paulo A. Miles-Páez,Adam J. Burgasser,Jacqueline Radigan,Luigi R. Bedin,Patrick J. Lowrance,Mark S. Marley +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the rotational spectral modulations in LP261-75B, an L6-type intermediate surface gravity companion to an M4.5 star, have been observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloud Atlas: Weak color modulations due to rotation in the planetary-mass companion GU Psc b and 11 other brown dwarfs
Ben W. P. Lew,Daniel Apai,Yifan Zhou,Jacqueline Radigan,Mark S. Marley,Glenn Schneider,Nicolas B. Cowan,Paulo A. Miles-Páez,Elena Manjavacas,Theodora Karalidi,Luigi R. Bedin,Patrick J. Lowrance,Adam J. Burgasser +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the rotational modulations of GU Psc b have been studied and shown to be weakly wavelength-dependent, or largely gray between 1.1-1.67$\rm\, \mu m$ time-series spectra.
