Beyond Caustic Crossings: Properties of Binary Microlensing Light Curves (2008)
Night, Christopher, Di Stefano, Rosanne, Schwamb, Megan
Binary microlensing light curves have a variety of morphologies. Many are indistinguishable from point-lens light curves. Of those that deviate from the point-lens form, caustic crossing light curves...
Discovery and Study of Nearby Habitable Planets with Mesolensing (2008)
Di Stefano, Rosanne, Night, Christopher
We demonstrate that gravitational lensing can be used to discover and study planets in the habitable zones of nearby dwarf stars. If appropriate software is developed, a new generation of monitoring...
Beyond Caustic Crossings: Properties of Binary Microlensing Light Curves (2007)
Night, Christopher, Di Stefano, Rosanne, Schwamb, Megan
Binary microlensing light curves have a variety of morphologies. Many are indistinguishable from point lens light curves. Of those that deviate from the point lens form, caustic crossing light curves...
Hubble Space Telescope Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of the Dwarf Nova VW Hyi in Superoutburst (2007)
Merritt, Jason, Night, Christopher, Sion, Edward M.
We obtained three consecutive HST spectroscopic observations of a single superoutburst of the dwarf nova VW Hydri. The spectra cover the beginning, middle, and end of the superoutburst. All of the...
Nagamine, Kentaro, Cen, Renyue, Furlanetto, Steven R., Hernquist, Lars, Night, Christopher, Ostriker, Jeremiah P.
Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations have significantly improved over the past several years, and we have already shown that the observed properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z=3 can be...
Lyman Break Galaxies at z = 4 - 6 in cosmological SPH Simulations (2005)
Night, Christopher, Nagamine, Kentaro, Springel, Volker, Hernquist, Lars
We perform a spectrophotometric analysis of galaxies at redshifts z = 4 - 6 in cosmological SPH simulations of a Lambda CDM universe. Our models include radiative cooling and heating by a uniform UV...
