As the performance of space based astrophysics observatories is directly limited by the size
of the spacecraft and the telescope it carries, current missions are reaching the limit of the …

Indirect dark matter searches targeting dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) have matured
rapidly during the past decade. This has been because of the substantial increase in …

Context. With the high number of extrasolar planets discovered by now, it has become
possible to use the properties of this planetary population to constrain theoretical formation …

We present precise Doppler measurements of four stars obtained during the past decade at
Keck Observatory by the California Planet Survey (CPS). These stars, namely, HD 34445 …

The gravitational couplings of matter are studied in the presence of Lorentz and CPT
violation. At leading order in the coefficients for Lorentz violation, the relativistic quantum …

Context. This is the second paper in a series of papers showing the results of extrasolar
planet population synthesis calculations using our extended core accretion model. In the …

ABSTRACT We present the Systemic Console, a new all-in-one, general-purpose software
package for the analysis and combined multiparameter fitting of Doppler radial velocity (RV) …

Aims. The scope of this paper is twofold. First, it describes the simulation scenarios and the
results of a large-scale, double-blind test campaign carried out to estimate the potential of …

Books in the SCIENCE ESSENTIALS series bring cutting-edge science to a general
audience. The series provides the foundation for a better understanding of the scientific and …

ABSTRACT We present the Sloan Low-mass Wide Pairs of Kinematically Equivalent Stars
(SLoWPoKES), a catalog of 1342 very-wide (projected separation≳ 500 AU), low-mass (at …
