Upper Limits on the Number of Small Bodies in Sedna-Like Orbits by the TAOS Project (2009)

Lehner, M. J., Bianco, F. B., Alcock, C., ...

We present the results of a search for occultation events by objects at distances between 100 and 1000 AU in lightcurves from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS). We searched for...

A Close Binary Star Resolved from Occultation by 87 Sylvia (2009)

Lin, Chi-Long, Zhang, Zhi-Wei, Chen, W. P., King, Sun-Kun, Lin, Hung-Chin, ...

The star BD +29 1748 was resolved to be a close binary from its occultation by the asteroid 87 Sylvia on 2006 December 18 UT. Four telescopes were used to observe this event at two sites separated by...

The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey : the multi-telescope robotic observatory (2009)

Lehner, M. J., Marshall, S. L., Schwamb, M. E., ...

The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) operates four fully automatic telescopes to search for occultations of stars by Kuiper Belt Objects. It is a versatile facility that is also useful...

First Results from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) (2008)

Bianco, F. B., Lehner, M. J., Coehlo, N. K., Mondal, S., ...

Results from the first 2 years of data from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) are presented. Stars have been monitored photometrically at 4 or 5 Hz to search for occultations by small...

First Results From The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) (2008)

Bianco, F. B., Lehner, M. J., Coehlo, N. K., Mondal, S., ...

Results from the first two years of data from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) are presented. Stars have been monitored photometrically at 4 Hz or 5 Hz to search for occultations by...

Early optical brightening in GRB 071010B (2008)

Wang, J. H., Schwamb, M. E., Huang, K. Y., Wen, C. Y., Zhang, Z. W., Wang, S. Y., ...

We report the detection of early (60-230 s) optical emission of the gamma-ray burst afterglow of GRB 071010B. No significant correlation with the prompt γ-ray emission was found. Our high time...

Detectability of Occultation of Stars by Objects in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud (2007)

Nihei, T. C., Lehner, M. J., Bianco, F. B., Giammarco, J. M., Alcock, C.

The serendipitous detection of stellar occultations by Outer Solar System objects is a powerful method for ascertaining the small end ($r \lesssim 15$ km) of the size distribution of Kuiper Belt...

Search for Small Trans-Neptunian Objects by the TAOS Project (2006)

Chen, W. P., Alcock, C., Axelrod, T., Bianco, F. B., Byun, Y. I., Chang, Y. H., ...

The Taiwan-America Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to determine the number of small icy bodies in the outer reach of the Solar System by means of stellar occultation. An array of 4 robotic small...
