Herschel observations of EXtra-Ordinary Sources: Analysis of the HIFI 1.2 THz Wide Spectral Survey Toward Orion KL I. Methods
Nathan R. Crockett, Edwin A. Bergin, Justin L. Neill +19
We present a comprehensive analysis of a broad band spectral line survey of the Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula (Orion KL), one of the most chemically rich regions in the Galaxy, using…
Chemical and Isotopic Homogeneity Between the L Dwarf CD-35 2722 B and its Early M Host Star
Gavin Wang, Jerry Xuan, DarÃo Picos +29
CD-35 2722 B is an L dwarf companion to the nearby, Myr old M1 dwarf CD-35 2722 A. We present a detailed analysis of both objects using high-resolution ($R \sim 35,00…
Exploring the Origins of Carbon in Terrestrial Worlds
Edwin A. Bergin, L. Ilsedore Cleeves, Nathan Crockett +1
Given the central role of carbon in the chemistry of life, it is a fundamental question as to how carbon is supplied to the Earth, in what form and when. We provide an accounting o…
Primary Velocity and Orbital Phase Effects on Planetary Detectability from Small Epoch Number Data Sets
Cam Buzard, Stefan Pelletier, Danielle Piskorz +2
Cross correlation analyses of high resolution spectroscopic data have recently shown great success in directly detecting planetary signals and enabling the characterization of thei…
Near-infrared spectra of the inflated post-common envelope brown dwarf NLTT 5306B
Cam Buzard, Sarah Casewell, Joshua Lothringer +1
NLTT 5306 is a post-common envelope binary made up of a white dwarf host and brown dwarf companion that has shown evidence of inflation and active mass donation despite not filling…
The Spitzer c2d Survey of Weak-line T Tauri Stars II: New Constraints on the Timescale for Planet Building
Lucas Cieza, Deborah L. Padgett, Karl R. Stapelfeldt +18
One of the central goals of the Spitzer Legacy Project ``From Molecular Cores to Planet-forming Disks'' (c2d) is to determine the frequency of remnant circumstellar disks around we…
Reinvestigation of the Multi-Epoch Direct Detections of HD 88133 b and Upsilon Andromedae b
Cam Buzard, Danielle Piskorz, Alexandra C. Lockwood +5
We reanalyze the multi-epoch direct detections of HD 88133 b and ups And b that were published in Piskorz et al. 2016 and Piskorz et al. 2017, respectively. Using simulations to at…
The Origins Space Telescope: Towards An Understanding of Temperate Planetary Atmospheres
Jonathan Fortney, Tiffany Kataria, Kevin Stevenson +46
The Origins Space Telescope (OST) is one of four mission concepts currently being studied by NASA in preparation for the Astrophysics 2020 Decadal Survey. With active cooling (~4 K…
Validation of elemental and isotopic abundances in late-M spectral types with the benchmark HIP 55507 AB system
Jerry W. Xuan, Jason J. Wang, Luke Finnerty +48
M dwarfs are common host stars to exoplanets but often lack atmospheric abundance measurements. Late-M dwarfs are also good analogs to the youngest substellar companions, which sha…
Airships: A New Horizon for Science
Sarah H. Miller, Robert Fesen, Lynne Hillenbrand +33
The "Airships: A New Horizon for Science" study at the Keck Institute for Space Studies investigated the potential of a variety of airships currently operable or under development…
