The Anglo-Australian Planet Search XXV: A Candidate Massive Saturn Analog Orbiting HD 30177

Robert A. Wittenmyer, Jonathan Horner, M. W. Mengel +8

We report the discovery of a second long-period giant planet orbiting HD 30177, a star previously known to host a massive Jupiter analog (HD 30177b: a=3.80.1 au, m sin $i=9.7\…

ACCESS I: An Optical Transmission Spectrum of GJ 1214b Reveals a Heterogeneous Stellar Photosphere

Benjamin Rackham, Néstor Espinoza, Dániel Apai +8

GJ 1214b is the most studied sub-Neptune exoplanet to date. Recent measurements have shown its near-infrared transmission spectrum to be flat, pointing to a high-altitude opacity s…

A terrestrial planet candidate in a temperate orbit around Proxima Centauri

Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Pedro J. Amado, John Barnes +28

At a distance of 1.295 parsecs, the red-dwarf Proxima Centauri ( Centauri C, GL 551, HIP 70890, or simply Proxima) is the Sun's closest stellar neighbor and one of the best stud…

Imaging protoplanets: observing transition disks with non-redundant masking

Steph Sallum, Josh Eisner, Laird M. Close +17

Transition disks, protoplanetary disks with inner clearings, are promising objects in which to directly image forming planets. The high contrast imaging technique of non-redundant…

The Magellan PFS Planet Search Program: Radial Velocity and Stellar Abundance Analyses of the 360 AU, Metal-Poor Binary "Twins" HD 133131A & B

Johanna K. Teske, Stephen A. Shectman, Steve S. Vogt +5

We present a new precision radial velocity (RV) dataset that reveals multiple planets orbiting the stars in the 360 AU, G2G2 "twin" binary HD 133131AB. Our 6 years of high…
