A dearth of small particles in the transiting material around the white dwarf WD 1145+017
S. Xu, S. Rappaport, R. van Lieshout +35
White dwarf WD 1145+017 is orbited by several clouds of dust, possibly emanating from actively disintegrating bodies. These dust clouds reveal themselves through deep, broad, and e…
Constraints on the Obliquities of Kepler Planet-Hosting Stars
Joshua N. Winn, Erik A. Petigura, Timothy D. Morton +8
Stars with hot Jupiters have obliquities ranging from 0-180 degrees, but relatively little is known about the obliquities of stars with smaller planets. Using data from the Califor…
Simulated JWST/NIRISS Transit Spectroscopy of Anticipated TESS Planets Compared to Select Discoveries from Space-Based and Ground-Based Surveys

We present a photometric -band variability study of GU Psc b, a T3.5 co-moving planetary-mass companion (9-13) to a young (150 Myr) M3 member of the AB Dorad…
The Very Low Albedo of WASP-12b From Spectral Eclipse Observations with
Taylor J. Bell, Nikolay Nikolov, Nicolas B. Cowan +11
We present an optical eclipse observation of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. These spectra allow us to…
K2-136: A Hyades Binary Star with a Neptune-sized Planet
David R. Ciardi, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Adina D. Feinstein +14
We report the discovery of a Neptune-size planet (Rp = 3.0 Re) in the Hyades Cluster. The host star is in a binary system, comprising a K5V star and M7/8V star with a projected sep…
Characterization of the K2-18 multi-planetary system with HARPS: A habitable zone super-Earth and discovery of a second, warm super-Earth on a non-coplanar orbit
R. Cloutier, N. Astudillo-Defru, R. Doyon +16
The bright M dwarf K2-18 at 34 pc is known to host a transiting super-Earth-sized planet orbiting within the star's habitable zone; K2-18b. Given the superlative nature of this sys…
Detection of Water Vapor in the Thermal Spectrum of the Non-Transiting Hot Jupiter upsilon Andromedae b
Danielle Piskorz, Bjorn Benneke, Nathan R. Crockett +6
The upsilon Andromedae system was the first multi-planet system discovered orbiting a main sequence star. We describe the detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of the innermos…
Phase Offsets and the Energy Budgets of Hot Jupiters
Joel C. Schwartz, Zane Kashner, Diana Jovmir +1
Thermal phase curves of short-period planets on circular orbits provide joint constraints on the fraction of incoming energy that is reflected (Bond albedo) and the fraction of abs…
Three's Company: An additional non-transiting super-Earth in the bright HD 3167 system, and masses for all three planets
Jessie L. Christiansen, Andrew Vanderburg, Jennifer Burt +55
HD 3167 is a bright (V = 8.9), nearby K0 star observed by the NASA K2 mission (EPIC 220383386), hosting two small, short-period transiting planets. Here we present the results of a…
The California-Kepler Survey V. Peas in a Pod: Planets in a Kepler Multi-planet System are Similar in Size and Regularly Spaced
Lauren M. Weiss, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Erik A. Petigura +10
We have established precise planet radii, semimajor axes, incident stellar fluxes, and stellar masses for 909 planets in 355 multi-planet systems discovered by Kepler. In this samp…
Seeing double with K2: Testing re-inflation with two remarkably similar planets around red giant branch stars
Samuel K. Grunblatt, Daniel Huber, Eric Gaidos +15
Despite more than 20 years since the discovery of the first gas giant planet with an anomalously large radius, the mechanism for planet inflation remains unknown. Here, we report t…
Improving and Assessing Planet Sensitivity of the GPI Exoplanet Survey with a Forward Model Matched Filter
Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Bruce Macintosh, Jason J. Wang +49
