Performance of the Gemini Planet Imager Non-Redundant Mask and spectroscopy of two close-separation binaries HR 2690 and HD 142527 by A. Greenbaum, CSI member D. Savransky, and colleagues; email: dsavransky@gmail.comThe Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) contains a 10-hole non-redundant mask (NRM), enabling interferometric resolution in complement to its...

Adams and Mason Peck; email: mp336@cornell.eduThis paper introduces R-selected spacecraft as a field of study that draws from concepts in ecology, and introduces the Monarch spacecraft as a case study for a system designed in accordance with the principles of this field. The Monarch is a 2.5-...

Dragomir, CSI member Nikole Lewis, and colleagues: email: nikole.lewis@cornell.eduThe best-characterized exoplanets to date are planets on close-in transiting orbits around their host stars. The high level of irradiation and transiting geometry of these...
