  • Publication
    A rigorous comparison of different planet detection algorithms
    The idea of finding extrasolar planets (ESPs) through observations of drops in stellar brightness due to transiting objects has been around for decades. It has...
  • Publication
    A roadmap for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with JWST
    Ultracool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with the JWST. Among...
  • Publication
    A Robust Age Indicator for Old Stellar Populations
    We derive new spectral Hγ index definitions that are robust age indicators for old and relatively old stellar populations and therefore have great potential for...
  • Publication
    A Robust Determination of the Size of Quasar Accretion Disks Using Gravitational Microlensing
    Using microlensing measurements for a sample of 27 image pairs of 19 lensed quasars we determine a maximum likelihood estimate for the accretion disk size of an...
  • Publication
    A robust method for the analysis of integrated spectra from globular clusters using Lick indices
    We define a method for the analysis of the integrated spectra of extragalactic globular clusters that provides more reliable measures of the age, metallicity...
  • Publication
    A rotating white dwarf shows different compositions on its opposite faces
    White dwarfs, the extremely dense remnants left behind by most stars after their death, are characterized by a mass comparable to that of the Sun compressed...
  • Publication
    A sample of dust attenuation laws for Dark Energy Survey supernova host galaxies
    Context. Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are useful distance indicators in cosmology, provided their luminosity is standardized by applying empirical corrections...
  • Publication
    A SART-Based Iterative Inversion Methodology to Infer the Solar Rotation Rate from Global Helioseismic Data
    We present a new iterative rotation inversion technique based on the Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique developed for image reconstruction. We...
  • Publication
    A scenario of planet erosion by coronal radiation
    Context. According to theory, high-energy emission from the coronae of cool stars can severely erode the atmospheres of orbiting planets. No observational tests...
