Gliese 12 b: A temperate Earth-sized planet at 12 pc ideal for atmospheric transmission spectroscopy
M. Kuzuhara, A. Fukui, J. H. Livingston +103
Recent discoveries of Earth-sized planets transiting nearby M dwarfs have made it possible to characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial planets via follow-up spectroscopic observ…
The STAR Time Projection Chamber: A Unique Tool for Studying High Multiplicity Events at RHIC
M. Anderson, J. Berkovitz, W. Betts +45
The STAR Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is used to record collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The TPC is the central element in a suite of detectors that surro…
Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time. X. The Orbit and Atmosphere of the Young "Neptune Desert"-Dwelling Planet K2-100b
E. Gaidos, T. Hirano, A. W. Mann +17
We obtained high-resolution infrared spectroscopy and short-cadence photometry of the 600-800 Myr Praesepe star K2-100 during transits of its 1.67-day planet. This Neptune-size obj…
Validation and atmospheric exploration of the sub-Neptune TOI-2136b around a nearby M3 dwarf
K. Kawauchi, F. Murgas, E. Palle +51
The NASA space telescope is currently in the extended mission of its all-sky search for new transiting planets. Of the thousands of candidates that TESS is expected to deliv…
The Advanced Light Source Accelerator Control System at Ten Years from Commissioning
A. Biocca, W. Brown, E. Domning +8
The Advanced Light Source was commissioned 10 years ago using the newly constructed control system. Further experience with the control system was reported in 1993. In this publica…
An improved model of metal/silicate differentiation during Earth's accretion
K. I. Dale, D. C. Rubie, M. Nakajima +5
We improved the algorithm presented in Rubie et al. (2015) to model the chemical evolution of Earth driven by iron/silicate differentiation during the planet's accretion. The press…
Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time (ZEIT) XIII: Planet Orbits and Atmospheres in the V1298 Tau System, a Keystone in Studies of Early Planetary Evolution
E. Gaidos, T. Hirano, C. Beichman +16
Studies of planetary systems of stars in star-forming regions and young clusters open a window on the formative stages of planetary evolution. We obtained high-cadence high-resolut…
Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time. XI. The Orbit and Radiation Environment of the Young M Dwarf-Hosted Planet K2-25b
E. Gaidos, T. Hirano, D. J. Wilson +20
M dwarf stars are high-priority targets for searches for Earth-size and potentially Earth-like planets, but their planetary systems may form and evolve in very different circumstel…
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer: Demonstrating advanced exoplanet characterization techniques for future extremely large telescopes
N. Jovanovic, J. R. Delorme, C. Z. Bond +25
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) is an upgrade to the Keck II adaptive optics system enabling high contrast imaging and high-resolution spectroscopic characterizatio…
The timeline of the Lunar bombardment - revisited
A. Morbidelli, D. Nesvorny, V. Laurenz +5
The timeline of the lunar bombardment in the first Gy of the Solar System remains unclear. Some basin-forming impacts occurred 3.9-3.7Gy ago. Many other basins formed before, but t…
Pioneering high contrast science instruments for planet characterization on giant segmented mirror telescopes
N. Jovanovic, O. Guyon, J. Lozi +36
A suite of science instruments is critical to any high contrast imaging facility, as it defines the science capabilities and observing modes available. SCExAO uses a modular approa…
Fossilized condensation lines in the Solar System protoplanetary disk
A. Morbidelli, B. Bitsch, A. Crida +6
The terrestrial planets and the asteroids dominant in the inner asteroid belt are water poor. However, in the protoplanetary disk the temperature should have decreased below water…
The great dichotomy of the Solar System: small terrestrial embryos and massive giant planet cores
A. Morbidelli, M. Lambrechts, S. Jacobson +1
The basic structure of the solar system is set by the presence of low-mass terrestrial planets in its inner part and giant planets in its outer part. This is the result of the form…
Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time (ZEIT) XII: A Directly-Imaged Planetary-Mass Companion to a Young Taurus M Dwarf Star
E. Gaidos, T. Hirano, A. L. Kraus +21
We report the discovery of a resolved (0".9) substellar companion to a member of the 1-5 Myr Taurus star-forming region. The host star (2M0437) is a single mid-M type ($T_{eff}\app…
