    • The search for M-M Dwarf Eclipsing Binary Systems 
      Lubin, Jack B. (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2016-05-18)
      Using data from the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) project, we performed a survey of 2028 known M Dwarf stars in the KELT footprint for M-M Dwarf eclipsing binaries (EBs). After searching 2028 Mdwarf ...
    • A Search for Pre-Main Sequence Eclipsing Binary Stars in the Lagoon Nebula 
      Henderson, Calen B. (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)
      We report time-series CCD I-band photometry for the pre-main-sequence cluster NGC 6530, located within the Lagoon Nebula. The data were obtained with the 4Kx4K imager on the SMARTS 1.0m telescope at CTIO on 36 nights over ...
    • Simulating the universe with GPU-accelerated supercomputers: n-body methods, tests, and examples 
      Wibking, Benjamin (Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2013-04-22)
      We demonstrate the acceleration obtained from using GPU/CPU hybrid clusters and supercomputers for N-body simulations of gravity based in part on the author's new code development.  Validation tests are shown for ...
    • Structure function analysis of blazars AP Librae and 3c279 
      Jensen, Anders A. (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04-27)
      Blazars AP Librae and 3c279 are analyzed for microvariability using a technique known as structure function analysis. AP Librae was observed in April of 2005 and 3c279 was observed in April of 2007. The data for AP Librae ...
