Analysis of Stars Common to the IRAS and HIPPARCOS Surveys (2001)
Knauer, T. G., Ivezic, Z., Knapp, G. R.
For about 11,000 stars observed in the HIPPARCOS Survey and detected by IRAS we calculate bolometric luminosities by integrating their spectral energy distributions from the B band to far-IR...
100-year Mass Loss Modulations on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (2001)
Marengo, M., Ivezic, Z., Knapp, G. R.
We analyze the differences in infrared circumstellar dust emission between oxygen rich Mira and non-Mira stars, and find that they are statistically significant. In particular, we find that these...
A New Very Cool White Dwarf Discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2001)
Harris, H. C., Hansen, B. M. S., Liebert, J., Berk, D. E. Vanden, Anderson, S. F., Knapp, G. R., ...
Early data taken during commissioning of the SDSS have resulted in the discovery of a very cool white dwarf. It appears to have stronger collision induced absorption from molecular hydrogen than any...
Odenkirchen, M., Grebel, E. K., Rockosi, C. M., Dehnen, W., Ibata, R., ...
We report the discovery of two well-defined tidal tails emerging from the sparse remote globular cluster Palomar 5. These tails stretch out symmetrically to both sides of the cluster in the direction...
