The independent discovery of planet candidates around low mass stars and astrophysical false positives from the first two TESS sectors
Ryan Cloutier
Continuous data releases throughout the TESS primary mission will provide unique opportunities for the exoplanet community at large to contribute to maximizing TESS's scientific re…
Bright Opportunities for Atmospheric Characterization of Small Planets: Masses and Radii of K2-3 b, c, d and GJ3470 b from Radial Velocity Measurements and Spitzer Transits
Molly R. Kosiarek, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +36
We report improved masses, radii, and densities for four planets in two bright M-dwarf systems, K2-3 and GJ3470, derived from a combination of new radial velocity and transit obser…
Detecting Water In the atmosphere of HR 8799 c with L-band High Dispersion Spectroscopy Aided By Adaptive Optics
Ji Wang, Dimitri Mawet, Jonathan J. Fortney +3
High dispersion spectroscopy of brown dwarfs and exoplanets enables exciting science cases, e.g., mapping surface inhomogeneity and measuring spin rate. Here, we present band o…
Polarization of stars with debris disks: comparing observations with models
Julien Vandeportal, Pierre Bastien, Amélie Simon +2
The Space telescope carried out an unprecedented survey of nearby stars for debris disks. The dust present in these debris disks scatters and polarizes stellar light in…
Deep exploration of Eridani with Keck Ms-band vortex coronagraphy and radial velocities: mass and orbital parameters of the giant exoplanet
Dimitri Mawet, Lea Hirsch, Eve J. Lee +27
We present the most sensitive direct imaging and radial velocity (RV) exploration of Eridani to date. Eridani is an adolescent planetary system, reminiscent of the early So…
Confirmation of the radial velocity super-Earth K2-18c with HARPS and CARMENES
R. Cloutier, N. Astudillo-Defru, R. Doyon +13
In an earlier campaign to characterize the mass of the transiting temperate super-Earth K2-18b with HARPS, a second, non-transiting planet was posited to exist in the system at $\s…
Ground- and Space-based Detection of the Thermal Emission Spectrum of the Transiting Hot Jupiter KELT-2Ab
Danielle Piskorz, Cam Buzard, Michael R. Line +9
We describe the detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of the transiting hot Jupiter KELT-2Ab by treating the star-planet system as a spectroscopic binary with high-resolution,…
Dynamical Constraints on the HR 8799 Planets with GPI
Jason J. Wang, James R. Graham, Rebekah Dawson +52
The HR 8799 system uniquely harbors four young super-Jupiters whose orbits can provide insights into the system's dynamical history and constrain the masses of the planets themselv…
Uniformly hot nightside temperatures on short-period gas giants
Dylan Keating, Nicolas B. Cowan, Lisa Dang
Short-period gas giants (hot Jupiters) on circular orbits are expected to be tidally locked into synchronous rotation, with permanent daysides that face their host stars, and perma…
Infrared Variability of Two Dusty White Dwarfs
Siyi Xu, Kate Y. L. Su, Laura Rogers +11
The most heavily polluted white dwarfs often show excess infrared radiation from circumstellar dust disks, which are modeled as a result of tidal disruption of extrasolar minor pla…
The California-Kepler Survey. VI: Kepler Multis and Singles Have Similar Planet and Stellar Properties Indicating a Common Origin
Lauren M. Weiss, Howard T. Isaacson, Geoffrey W. Marcy +7
The California-Kepler Survey (CKS) catalog contains precise stellar and planetary properties for the \Kepler\ planet candidates, including systems with multiple detected transiting…
A second terrestrial planet orbiting the nearby M dwarf LHS 1140
Kristo Ment, Jason A. Dittmann, Nicola Astudillo-Defru +27
LHS 1140 is a nearby mid-M dwarf known to host a temperate rocky super-Earth (LHS 1140 b) on a 24.737-day orbit. Based on photometric observations by MEarth and Spitzer as well as…
WEIRD: Wide-orbit Exoplanet search with InfraRed Direct imaging
Frédérique Baron, Étienne Artigau, Julien Rameau +9
We report results from the Wide-orbit Exoplanet search with InfraRed Direct imaging (WEIRD), a survey designed to search for Jupiter-like companions on very wide orbits (1000 to 50…
Microphysics of KCl and ZnS Clouds on GJ 1214b
Peter Gao, Björn Benneke
Clouds in the atmospheres of exoplanets confound characterization efforts by reducing, eliminating, and distorting spectral signatures of molecular abundances. As such, interpretat…
The 55 Cnc system reassessed
V. Bourrier, X. Dumusque, C. Dorn +9
Orbiting a bright, nearby star the 55 Cnc system offers a rare opportunity to study a multiplanet system that has a wide range of planetary masses and orbital distances. Using two…
Quantifying the Observational Effort Required for the Radial Velocity Characterization of TESS Planets
Ryan Cloutier, René Doyon, François Bouchy +1
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite will conduct a 2-year long wide-field survey searching for transiting planets around bright stars. Many TESS discoveries will be amenable…
Dynamics and Formation of the Near-Resonant K2-24 System: Insights from Transit-Timing Variations and Radial Velocities
Erik A. Petigura, Björn Benneke, Konstantin Batygin +8
While planets between the size of Uranus and Saturn are absent within the Solar System, the star K2-24 hosts two such planets, K2-24b and c, with radii equal to and $7.5~…
Radial velocity follow-up of GJ1132 with HARPS. A precise mass for planet 'b' and the discovery of a second planet
X. Bonfils, J. -M. Almenara, R. Cloutier +19
GJ1132 is a nearby red dwarf known to host a transiting Earth-size planet. After its initial detection, we pursued an intense follow-up with the HARPS velocimeter. We now confirm t…
