GJ 832c: A super-earth in the habitable zone
R. A. Wittenmyer, Mikko Tuomi, R. P. Butler +17
We report the detection of GJ 832c, a super-Earth orbiting near the inner edge of the habitable zone of GJ 832, an M dwarf previously known to host a Jupiter analog in a nearly-cir…
HAT-P-17b,c: A Transiting, Eccentric, Hot Saturn and a Long-period, Cold Jupiter
A. W. Howard, G. Ã. Bakos, J. Hartman +18
We report the discovery of HAT-P-17b,c, a multi-planet system with an inner transiting planet in a short-period, eccentric orbit and an outer planet in a 4.8 yr, nearly circular or…
Beyond the Iron Peak: r- and s-process Elemental Abundances in Stars with Planets
J. C. Bond, D. S. Lauretta, C. G. Tinney +6
We present elemental abundances of 118 stars (28 of which are known extrasolar planetary host stars) observed as part of the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. Abundances of O, Mg, Cr…
Searching for Faint Comoving Companions to the Centauri system in the VVV Survey Infrared Images
J. C. Beamin, D. Minniti, J. B. Pullen +7
The VVV survey has observed the southern disk of the Milky Way in the near infrared, covering 240 deg in the filters. We search the VVV Survey images in a 19…
A Goldilocks principle for modeling radial velocity noise
Fabo Feng, M. Tuomi, H. R. A. Jones +2
The doppler measurements of stars are diluted and distorted by stellar activity noise. Different choices of noise models and statistical methods have led to much controversy in the…
HD147506b: A Super-Massive Planet in an Eccentric Orbit Transiting a Bright Star
G. A. Bakos, G. Kovacs, G. Torres +18
We report the discovery of a massive (Mp = 9.04+/-0.50 MJup) planet transiting the bright (V = 8.7) F8 star HD 147506, with an orbital period of 5.63341+/-0.00013 days and an eccen…
