Konacki, Maciej, Muterspaugh, Matthew W., Kulkarni, Shrinivas R., Hełminiak, Krzysztof
We present preliminary results of the first and on-going radial velocity survey for circumbinary planets. With a novel radial velocity technique employing an iodine absorption cell, we achieve an...

Exploring the Optical Transient Sky with the Palomar Transient Factory (2009)
Rau, Arne, Kulkarni, Shrinivas R., Law, Nicholas M., Bloom, Joshua S., Ciardi, David, Djorgovski, George S., ...
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a wide-field experiment designed to investigate the optical transient and variable sky on time scales from minutes to years. PTF uses the CFH12k mosaic camera,...
Optical Astrometry of Accreting Black Holes and Neutron Stars: Scientific Opportunities (2009)
Tomsick, John A., Quirrenbach, Andreas, Kulkarni, Shrinivas R., Shaklan, Stuart B., Pan, Xiaopei
The extreme conditions found near black holes and neutron stars provide a unique opportunity for testing physical theories. Observations of both types of compact objects can be used to probe regions...
Taking the Measure of the Universe : precision astrometry with SIM PlanetQuest (2008)
Unwin, Stephen C., Shao, Michael, Tanner, Angelle M., Allen, Ronald J., Beichman, Charles A., Boboltz, David, ...
Precision astrometry at microarcsecond accuracy has application to a wide range of astrophysical problems. This paper is a study of the science questions that can be addressed using an instrument...

A Pulsar Survey of 18 Supernova Remnants (2007)
Peter Gorham Paul, Paul S. Ray, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Thomas A. Prince
We have performed a pulsar search of 18 known or probable supernova remnants with the Arecibo 305-m radio telescope at 430 and 1420 MHz. The remnants were selected to have angular sizes less than or...
Michael E. Brown, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Timothy J. Liggett
We calculate statistical limits to the detection of Kuiper Belt objects in the HST data of Cochran et al. (1995), in which they report the discovery of a population of Halley-sized objects in...

X-ray Binaries and Globular Clusters in Elliptical Galaxies (2002)
White III, Raymond E., Sarazin, Craig L., Kulkarni, Shrinivas R.
The X-ray emission from normal elliptical galaxies has two major components: soft emission from diffuse gas and harder emission from populations of accreting (low-mass) stellar X-ray binaries (LMXB)....
Noise in optical synthesis images. I. Ideal Michelson interferometer (1989)
Prasad, Sudhakar, Kulkarni, Shrinivas R.
We study the distribution of noise in optical images produced by the aperture synthesis technique, in which the principal source of noise is the intrinsic shot noise of photoelectric detection. The...
