Have you ever stopped at a construction project on the way to your office and the day's
astrophysics? Remember the other onlookers–folks just enjoying the spectacle, as we all do …

Linear, quadratic, and square root limb-darkening coefficients have been computed by
means of least squares fits to model atmospheres by Kurucz (1991) with the main purpose of …

We present the first results of a new abundance survey of the Milky Way bulge based on
Keck HIRES spectra of 27 K giants in the Baade's Window (l= 1, b=-4) field. The spectral …

Eclipsing binaries (EBs) measure distance without need or use for nearby similar objects,
with many applications over recent decades. EBs are now considered the most reliable and …

This monograph contains the documentation of the binary star program originally developed
in the early 1970s by Wilson and Devinney, and later revised by Wilson and Wilson & Van …

We present an extensive time-series radial-velocity (RV) survey of stars in the rich open
cluster NGC 7789 (1.6 Gyr,[Fe/H]=+ 0.02). The stellar sample lies within an 18'circular radius …

We present time series radial velocity, and photometric observations of a solar-type double-
lined eclipsing binary star (V 12) in the old open cluster NGC 188. We use these data to …

Context. The study of detached eclipsing binaries which are members of stellar clusters is is
a powerful way of determining the properties of the cluster and of constraining the physical …

We present a determination of the precise fundamental physical parameters of 20 detached,
double-lined, eclipsing binary stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) containing G-or …

We present the results of a variability study of accreting young stellar objects in the
Chameleon I star-forming region, based on∼ 300 high-resolution optical spectra from the …
