    Using Stellar Densities to Evaluate Transiting Exoplanetary Candidates
    One of the persistent complications in searches for transiting exoplanets is the low percentage of the detected candidates that ultimately prove to be planets...

    Variability Survey in the CoRoT SRa01 Field: Implications of Eclipsing Binary Distribution on Cluster Formation in NGC 2264
    Time-series photometry of the CoRoT field SRa01 was carried out with the Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope II in 2008/2009. A total of 1161 variable stars were...

    Variable Stars in Local Group Galaxies. III. And VII, NGC 147, and NGC 185: Insight into the Building Blocks of the M31 Halo
    We present the discovery of 1568 RR Lyrae stars in three of the most luminous M31 satellites: And VII (573), NGC 147 (177), and NGC 185 (818). We use their...

    Variable Very High Energy γ-Ray Emission from Markarian 501
    The blazar Mrk 501 was observed at energies above 0.10 TeV with the MAGIC Telescope from 2005 May through July. The high sensitivity of the instrument enabled...

    Variation of Galactic Bar Length with Amplitude and Density as Evidence for Bar Growth over a Hubble Time
    Ks-band images of 20 barred galaxies show an increase in the peak amplitude of the normalized m=2 Fourier component with the R25-normalized radius at this peak...

    Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Observations of Strong Flaring Activity in M87 in 2008 February
    M87 is the only known nonblazar radio galaxy to emit very high energy (VHE) gamma rays. During a monitoring program of M87, a rapid flare in VHE gamma-rays was...

    Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Radiation from the Stellar Mass Black Hole Binary Cygnus X-1
    We report on the results from the observations in the very high energy band (VHE; Eγ>=100 GeV) of the black hole X-ray binary (BHXB) Cygnus X-1. The...
