HATNet Field G205: Follow-Up Observations of 28 Transiting-Planet candidates and Confirmation of the Planet HAT-P-8b
David W. Latham, Gáspár Á. Bakos, Guillermo Torres +16
We report the identification of 32 transiting-planet candidates in HATNet field G205. We describe the procedures that we have used to follow up these candidates with spectroscopic…
Ten New and Updated Multi-planet Systems, and a Survey of Exoplanetary Systems
J. T. Wright, S. Upadhyay, G. W. Marcy +3
We present the latest velocities for 10 multi-planet systems, including a re-analysis of archival Keck and Lick data, resulting in improved velocities that supersede our previously…
A spectroscopic survey of dwarf galaxies in the Coma Cluster: Stellar populations, environment and downsizing
Russell J. Smith, John R. Lucey, Michael J. Hudson +5
We investigate the stellar populations in a sample of 89 faint (M*+2 to M*+4) red galaxies in the Coma cluster, using high S/N spectroscopy from the MMT. Our sample is drawn from t…
The Transit Light Curve Project. X. A Christmas Transit of HD 17156b
Joshua N. Winn, Matthew J. Holman, Gregory W. Henry +6
Photometry is presented of the Dec. 25, 2007 transit of HD 17156b, which has the longest orbital period and highest orbital eccentricity of all the known transiting exoplanets. New…
Selection Functions in Doppler Planet Searches
S. J. O'Toole, C. G. Tinney, H. R. A. Jones +4
We present a preliminary analysis of the sensitivity of Anglo-Australian Planet Search data to the orbital parameters of extrasolar planets. To do so, we have developed new tools f…
HAT-P-10b: A light and moderately hot Jupiter transiting a K dwarf
G. A. Bakos, A. Pal, G. Torres +17
We report on the discovery of HAT-P-10b, the lowest mass (0.46 +/- 0.03 MJ) transiting extrasolar planet (TEP) discovered to date by transit searches. HAT-P-10b orbits the moderate…
Direct Calculation of the Turbulent Dissipation Efficiency in Anelastic Convection
Kaloyan Penev, Joseph Barranco, Dimitar Sasselov
The current understanding of the turbulent dissipation in stellar convective zones is based on the assumption that the turbulence follows Kolmogorov scaling. This assumption is val…
First Results From New 3D Spectral Simulations Of Anelastic Turbulent Convection
Kaloyan Penev, Joseph Barranco, Dimitar Sasselov
We have adapted the anelastic spectral code of Barranco & Marcus (2006) to simulate a turbulent convective layer with the intention of studying the effectiveness of turbulent eddie…
Independent confirmation and refined parameters of the hot Jupiter XO-5b
A. Pál, G. Á. Bakos, J. Fernandez +14
We present HATNet observations of XO-5b, confirming its planetary nature based on evidence beyond that described in the announcement of Burke et al. (2008), namely, the lack of sig…
Two Jupiter-Mass Planets Orbiting HD 154672 and HD 205739
Mercedes Lopez-Morales, R. Paul Butler, Debra A. Fischer +6
We report the detection of the first two planets from the N2K Doppler planet search program at the Magellan telescopes. The first planet has a mass of M sin i = 4.96 M_Jup and is o…
Deep MMT Transit Survey of the Open Cluster M37 IV: Limit on the Fraction of Stars With Planets as Small as 0.3 R_J
J. D. Hartman, B. S. Gaudi, M. J. Holman +6
We present the results of a deep (15 ~< r ~< 23), 20 night survey for transiting planets in the intermediate age open cluster M37 (NGC 2099) using the Megacam wide-field mosaic CCD…
Red Nuggets at z~1.5: Compact passive galaxies and the formation of the Kormendy Relation
Ivana Damjanov, Patrick J. McCarthy, Roberto G. Abraham +13
We present the results of NICMOS imaging of a sample of 16 high mass passively evolving galaxies with 1.3<z<2, taken primarily from the Gemini Deep Deep Survey. Around 80% of galax…
Reanalysis of two eclipsing binaries: EE Aqr and Z Vul
Sayyed Mohammad Reza Ghoreyshi, Jamshid Ghanbari, Fatemeh Salehi
We study the radial-velocity and light curves of the two eclipsing binaries EE Aqr and Z Vul. Using the latest version of the Wilson & Van Hamme (2003) model, absolute parameters f…
The Prograde Orbit of Exoplanet TrES-2b
Joshua N. Winn, John Asher Johnson, Norio Narita +7
We monitored the Doppler shift of the G0V star TrES-2 throughout a transit of its giant planet. The anomalous Doppler shift due to stellar rotation (the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect)…
The Keck Planet Search: Detectability and the Minimum Mass and Orbital Period Distribution of Extrasolar Planets
Andrew Cumming, R. Paul Butler, Geoffrey W. Marcy +3
We analyze 8 years of precise radial velocity measurements from the Keck Planet Search, characterizing the detection threshold, selection effects, and completeness of the survey. W…
Formation and Detectability of Terrestrial Planets Around Alpha Centauri B
Javiera M. Guedes, Eugenio J. Rivera, Erica Davis +3
We simulate the formation of planetary systems around Alpha Centauri B. The N-body accretionary evolution of a 1/r disk populated with 400-900 lunar-mass protoplanets is followed f…
HAT-P-7b: An Extremely Hot Massive Planet Transiting a Bright Star in the Kepler Field
A. Pal, G. A. Bakos, G. Torres +14
We report on the latest discovery of the HATNet project; a very hot giant planet orbiting a bright (V = 10.5) star with a small semi-major axis of a = 0.0377 +/- 0.0005 AU. Ephemer…
A large population of recently-quenched red-sequence dwarf galaxies in the outskirts of the Coma Cluster
Russell J. Smith, Ronald O. Marzke, Ann E. Hornschemeier +6
We analyse the stellar populations of 75 red-sequence dwarf galaxies in the Coma cluster, based on high signal-to-noise spectroscopy from the 6.5m MMT. The sample covers a luminosi…
