    • Extended High Circular Polarization in the Orion Massive Star Forming Region: Implications for the Origin of Homochirality in the Solar System 

      Fukue, T.; Tamura, M.; Kandori, R.; Kusakabe, N.; Hough, J.; Bailey, J.; Whittet, D.C.B.; Lucas, P.W.; Nakajima, Y.; Hashimoto, J. (2010)
      We present a wide-field (∼6′ × 6′) and deep near-infrared (K s band: 2.14 μm) circular polarization image in the Orion nebula, where massive stars and many low-mass stars are forming. Our results reveal that a high circular ...

A.; Heyrovský, D.; Kandori, R.; Kerins, E.; Lucas, P.W.; Minniti, D.; Nagayama, T.; Rejkuba, M.; Robin, A.C.; Saito, And R. (2014-04-20)
      We present the first microlensing candidate for a free-floating exoplanet-exomoon system, MOA-2011-BLG-262, with a primary lens mass of M host ∼ 4 Jupiter masses hosting a sub-Earth mass moon. The argument for an exomoon ...
