Measuring the Recoverability of Close Binaries in Gaia DR2 with the Robo-AO Kepler Survey
Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +6
We use the Robo-AO survey of Kepler planetary candidate host stars, the largest adaptive optics survey yet performed, to measure the recovery rate of close stellar binaries in Gaia…
Probability of Physical Association of 104 Blended Companions to \textit{Kepler} Objects of Interest Using Visible and Near-Infrared Adaptive Optics Photometry
Dani Atkinson, Christoph Baranec, Carl Ziegler +2
We determine probabilities of physical association for stars in blended Kepler Objects of Interest, and find that of companions within $\sim4\arcsec$ are…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR4 Maps and Cosmological Parameters
Simone Aiola, Erminia Calabrese, Loïc Maurin +138
We present new arcminute-resolution maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background temperature and polarization anisotropy from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, using data taken from 2013…
Robo-AO Kepler Survey V: The effect of physically associated stellar companions on planetary systems
Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +7
The Kepler light curves used to detect thousands of planetary candidates are susceptible to dilution due to blending with previously unknown nearby stars. With the automated laser…
The Robo-AO KOI Survey: laser adaptive optics imaging of every Kepler exoplanet candidate
Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +4
The Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey is observing every Kepler planet candidate host star (KOI) with laser adaptive optics imaging to hunt for blended nearby stars which m…
Robotic Laser-Adaptive-Optics Imaging of 715 Kepler Exoplanet Candidates using Robo-AO
Nicholas M. Law, Tim Morton, Christoph Baranec +12
The Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey is designed to observe every Kepler planet candidate host star with laser adaptive optics imaging to search for blended nearby stars,…
Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey II: Adaptive Optics Imaging of 969 Kepler Exoplanet Candidate Host Stars
Christoph Baranec, Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law +5
We initiated the Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey in 2012 to observe each Kepler exoplanet candidate host star with high-angular-resolution visible-light laser-adaptive-op…
Planet Hunters: The First Two Planet Candidates Identified by the Public using the Kepler Public Archive Data
Debra Fischer, Megan Schwamb, Kevin Schawinski +28
Planet Hunters is a new citizen science project, designed to engage the public in an exoplanet search using NASA Kepler public release data. In the first month after launch, users…
A planet within the debris disk around the pre-main-sequence star AU Microscopii
Peter Plavchan, Thomas Barclay, Jonathan Gagné +84
AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is the second closest pre main sequence star, at a distance of 9.79 parsecs and with an age of 22 million years. AU Mic possesses a relatively rare and spat…
Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey III: Adaptive Optics Imaging of 1629 Kepler Exoplanet Candidate Host Stars
Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Tim Morton +6
The Robo-AO \textit{Kepler} Planetary Candidate Survey is observing every \textit{Kepler} planet candidate host star with laser adaptive optics imaging to search for blended nearby…
TESS Discovery of a Transiting Super-Earth in the Mensae System
Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer Burt, Andrew Vanderburg +45
We report the detection of a transiting planet around Mensae (HD 39091), using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The solar-type host star is unusuall…
Robo-AO Kepler Survey IV: the effect of nearby stars on 3857 planetary candidate systems
Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +7
We present the overall statistical results from the Robo-AO Kepler planetary candidate survey, comprising of 3857 high-angular resolution observations of planetary candidate system…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectra at 98 and 150 GHz
Steve K. Choi, Matthew Hasselfield, Shuay-Pwu Patty Ho +136
We present the temperature and polarization angular power spectra of the CMB measured by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) from 5400 deg of the 2013-2016 survey, which cove…
