Title: A New Method for Classifying Flares of UV Ceti Type Stars: Differences Between Slow and Fast Flares Authors: H. A. Dal, S. Evren In this study, a new method is presented to classify flares derived from the photoelectric photometry of UV Ceti type stars. This method is based on statistical anal...
Title: EXOFAST: A fast exoplanetary fitting suite in IDL Authors: Jason Eastman, B. Scott Gaudi, Eric Agol We present EXOFAST, a fast, robust suite of routines written in IDL which is designed to fit exoplanetary transits and radial velocity variations simultaneously or separately, and charact...

IRC +10216 or CW Leonis is the best studied carbon star, but also a very peculiar one with the central star being embedded in a thick dust envelope. Therefore, its energy is emitted mostly at infrared wavelengths: in fact, IRC +10216 is the brightest object in the sky at a wavelength of 10 m. Recent spec...
Title: Is KR Cygni a Triple Star System? Authors: Esin Sipahi New multi-colour UBVR light curves of the eclipsing binary KR Cyg were obtained in 2005. Photometric solutions were derived using the Wilson- Devinney method. The result shows that KR Cyg is a near-contact binary system with a large effe...
