Probing exoplanet clouds with optical phase curves.
Kepler-7b is to date the only exoplanet for which clouds have been inferred from the optical phase curve--from visible-wavelength whole-disk brightness measurements as a function of orbital phase. Added to this, the fact that the phase curve appears dominated by reflected starlight makes this close-in giant planet a unique study case. Here we investigate the information on coverage and optical ...
متن کاملMultipulse phase resetting curves.
In this paper, we introduce and study systematically, in terms of phase response curves, the effect of dual-pulse excitation on the dynamics of an autonomous oscillator. Specifically, we test the deviations from linear summation of phase advances resulting from two small perturbations. We analytically derive a correction term, which generally appears for oscillators whose intrinsic dimensionali...
متن کاملOptical Spectra and Light Curves of Supernovae
I review recent optical observations of supernovae (SNe) conducted by my group. The Lick Observatory Supernova Search with the 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope is currently the world’s most successful search for nearby SNe. We also use this telescope to obtain multicolor light curves of SNe. One of the more interesting SNe we discovered is SN 2000cx, which differs from all previously ...
متن کاملLight Curves of GRB Optical Flashes
The standard model of GRB afterglows assumes that relativistically expanding material is decelerating due to interaction with the surrounding medium. The afterglows are well described by the synchrotron radiation from a forward shock, while the strong optical flash associated with GRB 990123 can be attributed to the emission from a reverse shock. We give a detailed study on the reverse shock em...
متن کاملBayesian estimation of phase response curves
Phase response curve (PRC) of an oscillatory neuron describes the response of the neuron to external perturbation. The PRC is useful to predict synchronized dynamics of neurons; hence, its measurement from experimental data attracts increasing interest in neural science. This paper introduces a Bayesian method for estimating PRCs from data, which allows for the correlation of errors in explanat...
