Evidence of a massive planet candidate orbiting the young active K5V star BD+20 1790

M. Hernán-Obispo, M. C. Gálvez-Ortiz, G. Anglada-Escudé +4

BD+20 1790 is a young active, metal-rich, late-type K5Ve star. We have undertaken a study of stellar activity and kinematics for this star over the past few years. Previous results…

A Super-Earth and two Neptunes Orbiting the Nearby Sun-like star 61 Virginis

Steven S. Vogt, Robert A. Wittenmyer, R. Paul Butler +10

We present precision radial velocity (RV) data that reveal a multiple exoplanet system orbiting the bright nearby G5V star 61 Virginis. Our 4.6 years of combined Keck/HIRES and Ang…

Triggering Collapse of the Presolar Dense Cloud Core and Injecting Short-Lived Radioisotopes with a Shock Wave. I. Varied Shock Speeds

Alan P. Boss, Sandra A. Keiser, Sergei I. Ipatov +2

The discovery of decay products of a short-lived radioisotope (SLRI) in the Allende meteorite led to the hypothesis that a supernova shock wave transported freshly synthesized SLRI…
