Gravitoastronomy with neutron stars [PDF]
Recent advances in gravitational wave detectors mean that we can start to make astrophysically important statements about the physics of neutron stars based on observed upper limits to their gravitational luminosity.

A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris disc stars. III. First statistics based on 42 stars observed with CHARA/FLUOR [PDF]
peer reviewedContext. Dust is expected to be ubiquitous in extrasolar planetary systems due to the dynamical activity of minor bodies. Inner dust populations are, however, still poorly known due to the high contrast and small angular separation with ...

ROBO-AO KEPLER PLANETARY CANDIDATE SURVEY. III. ADAPTIVE OPTICS IMAGING OF 1629 KEPLER EXOPLANET CANDIDATE HOST STARS [PDF]
The Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey is observing every Kepler planet candidate host star with laser adaptive optics imaging to search for blended nearby stars, which may be physically associated companions and/or responsible for transit false ...

Magnetic Fields of F-Type Stars [PDF]
Magnetic fields are an observable feature of many stars, with warm, F-type stars of interest in searching for the transition from the fossil fields in hot stars to dynamos in cool stars driven by convection zones.

NACO-SDI imaging of known companion host stars from the AAPS and Keck planet search surveys [PDF]
Context. Direct imaging of brown dwarfs as companions to solar-type stars can provide a wealth of well-constrained data to “benchmark” the physics of such objects, since quantities like metallicity and age can be determined from their well-studied ...

The use of dose management systems in Europe : results of an ESR EuroSafe imaging questionnaire
Dose management systems (DMS) are an essential tool for quality assurance and optimising patient radiation exposure. For radiologists and medical physicists, they are important for managing many radiation protection tasks.

Lucky imaging and aperture synthesis with low-redundancy apertures [PDF]
Lucky imaging, used with some success in astronomical and even horizontal-path imaging, relies on fleeting conditions of the atmosphere that allow momentary improvements in image quality, at least in portions of an image.

Hubble space telescope high-resolution imaging of Kepler small and cool exoplanet host stars
High-resolution imaging is an important tool for follow-up study of exoplanet candidates found via transit detection with the Kepler mission. We discuss here Hubble Space Telescope imaging with the WFC3 of 23 stars that host particularly interesting ...

Convection and dynamo action in B stars [PDF]
Main-sequence massive stars possess convective cores that likely harbor strong dynamo action. To assess the role of core convection in building magnetic fields within these stars, we employ the 3-D anelastic spherical harmonic (ASH) code to model ...
