Finding Water Worlds with Transit Timing Variations
Models predict that planets with water-rich compositions may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has...
The authors examine, using K I and Na I absorptions, a generally conical volume out to some 200 pc from the Sun placing constraints on a number of the...
After revisiting the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model and its implications for the scale of New Physics, I consider the finetuning problem in two main...
Finite element analysis accuracy of the GTC commissioning instrument structure
Under a contract with the GRANTECAN, the Commissioning Instrument (CI) is a project developed by a team of Mexican scientists and engineers from the...
At this meeting we presented a spinfoam model in which the fundamental "bubble amplitudes" (the analog of the one-loop corrections in QFT) are finite as the...
Firefly: The Case for a Holistic Understanding of the Global Structure and Dynamics of the Sun and the Heliosphere
This white paper is on the HMCS Firefly mission concept study. Firefly focuses on the global structure and dynamics of the Sun's interior, the generation of...
FIRES: Ultradeep near-infrared imaging with ISAAC of the Hubble Deep Field South
Between October 1999 and October 2000 an undistinguished high-galactic latitude patch of sky, the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S), was observed with the VLT for...
The SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) will obtain high resolution (R 22,500) and high S/N ( 100 per pixel) H-band spectra...
