TMAP: A NEO follow-up program utilizing undergraduate observers
In the spring of 2000 we began TMAP (Table Mountain Astrometry Project), a program designed to provide timely astrometric followup of newly discovered near...
TOI-178: a window into the formation and evolution of planetary systems
Laplacian resonant chains — where astronomical bodies are in mean motion resonance with two or more other bodies — are rare phenomena observed in systems such...
TOI-178: the best laboratory for testing planetary formation theories
The atmospheric characterisation of multiple exoplanets in the same system can provide a window into the processes that underpinned their formation and...
TOI-2136b: a sub-Neptune planet around a nearby M3 dwarf
Small planets with a radius between 1-4 Earth radii are extremely common in the Milky Way but their planetary formation and evolution are not revealed...
TOI-776: a multi-planetary system around a bright M dwarf optimal for JWST
In this talk, I present the discovery and characterization of two transiting planets around the bright M1 V star TOI-776 (J=8.5 mag), detected during Sector 10...
Tomographic wavefront retrieval by combined use of geometric and plenoptic sensors
Modern astronomic telescopes take advantage of multi-conjugate adaptive optics, in which wavefront sensors play a key role. A single sensor capable of measuring...
Too Few to be Relevant: Major Merger Statistics up to z ˜ 1
We study the evolution of galaxy structure and of the major merger fraction since z ˜ 1 to present in GOODS-S field for MB ≤ -20 and M* ≥ 1010 Msun selected...
Tools for Transit and Radial Velocity Modeling and Analysis
An overview over analysis or modelling tools related to the radial velocity and transit methods for exoplanet detection and characterization is given, with over...
