  1. Sergio Hoyer(1) , Patricio Rojo(1) and Mercedes López-Morales(2) (1): Universidad de Chile. Astronomy Department. (2): Hubble Fellow, Carnegie Institution of Washington POSTER #86 PROYECT OGLE-TR-111: an interesting case Search for exoplanets using TTVs In the Southern Hemisphere Observed – Calculated: Central Times shoyer@das.uchile.cl

  2. CARMENES – A Radial-Velocity Facility for the Calar Alto 3.5m • Three high-resolution spectrographs fed with fibers from prime focus • Search for terrestrial planets around mid-M dwarfs • Near-IR (0.95 … 1.8 μm) arm optimized for Y band • Simultaneous activity monitoring in the visible • 300 targets, 60 observations each over 5 years • Giant planets around G and K giants, up to 5 M • Multiplexed visible-light spectrograph with 14 fibers • Strong constraints for planet formation theories • 3000 targets in the M star fields • Study completed 09/15/09, awaiting review 2

  3. Post-processing of high-contrast observations of exoplanets Szymon Gładysz, European Southern Observatory Poster 71 New algorithm for detection of faint companions in adaptive-optics observations long exposure after post-processing: 42m E-ELT, extreme adaptive optics, “perfect coronagraph”

  4. Detection of Transiting Super-Earths around Active Stars J. Weingrill, H. Lammer, M. Khodachenko, and A. Hanslmeier

  5. Forming Giant Planets by Disk Instability - Alan Boss (Carnegie Institution) Spherical “disk” (above and below) Disk with height proportional to radius (below)
