Secondary eclipses of WASP-18b -- Near Infrared observations with the Anglo Australian Telescope, the Magellan Clay Telescope and the LCOGT network
L. Kedziora-Chudczer, G. Zhou, J. Bailey +6
We present new eclipse observations for one of the hottest "hot Jupiters" WASP-18b, for which previously published data from HST WFC3 and Spitzer have led to radically conflicting…
Inefficient volatile loss from the Moon-forming disk: reconciling the giant impact hypothesis and a wet Moon
Miki Nakajima, David J. Stevenson
The Earth's Moon is thought to have formed from a circumterrestrial disk generated by a giant impact between the proto-Earth and an impactor approximately 4.5 billion years ago. Si…
The early instability scenario: terrestrial planet formation during the giant planet instability, and the effect of collisional fragmentation
Matthew S. Clement, Nathan A. Kaib, Sean N. Raymond +2
The solar system's dynamical state can be explained by an orbital instability among the giant planets. A recent model has proposed that the giant planet instability happened during…
ACCESS: Ground-based Optical Transmission Spectroscopy of the Hot Jupiter WASP-4b
Alex Bixel, Benjamin V. Rackham, Dániel Apai +6
We present an optical transmission spectrum of the atmosphere of WASP-4b obtained through observations of four transits with Magellan/IMACS. Using a Bayesian approach to atmospheri…
ALMA Detection of Extended Millimeter Halos in the HD 32297 and HD 61005 Debris Disks
Meredith A. MacGregor, Alycia J. Weinberger, A. Meredith Hughes +7
We present ALMA 1.3 mm (230 GHz) observations of the HD 32297 and HD 61005 debris disks, two of the most iconic debris disks due to their dramatic swept-back wings seen in scattere…
A candidate super-Earth planet orbiting near the snow line of Barnard's star
I. Ribas, M. Tuomi, A. Reiners +60
At a distance of 1.8 parsecs, Barnard's star (Gl 699) is a red dwarf with the largest apparent motion of any known stellar object. It is the closest single star to the Sun, second…
HATS-70b: A 13 Mjup brown dwarf transiting an A star
G. Zhou, G. Á. Bakos, D. Bayliss +23
We report the discovery of HATS-70b, a transiting brown dwarf at the deuterium burning limit. HATS-70b has a mass of Mp=12.9 +1.8/-1.6 Mjup and a radius of Rp=1.384 +0.079/-0.074 R…
HD2685 b: A Hot-Jupiter orbiting an early F-type star detected by TESS
M. I. Jones, R. Brahm, N. Espinoza +40
We report on the confirmation of a transiting giant planet around the relatively hot (Teff = 6801 56 K) star HD2685, whose transit signal was detected in Sector 1 data of the…
Back to "Normal" for the Disintegrating Planet Candidate KIC 12557548 b
Everett Schlawin, Teruyuki Hirano, Hajime Kawahara +5
KIC 12557548 b is first of a growing class of intriguing disintegrating planet candidates, which lose mass in the form of a metal rich vapor that condenses into dust particles. Her…
Deep ALMA Search for CO Gas in the HD 95086 Debris Disc
Mark Booth, Luca Matrà, Kate Y. L. Su +7
One of the defining properties of debris discs compared to protoplanetary discs used to be their lack of gas, yet small amounts of gas have been found around an increasing number o…
Evidence For A Vertical Dependence on the Pressure Structure in AS 209
Richard Teague, Jaehan Bae, Tilman Birnstiel +1
We present an improved method to measure the rotation curves for disks with non-axisymmetric brightness profiles initially published in Teague et al. (2018a). Application of this m…
Can Moons Have Moons?
Juna A. Kollmeier, Sean N. Raymond
Each of the giant planets within the Solar System has large moons but none of these moons have their own moons (which we call ). By analogy with studies of moons ar…
A New High Perihelion Inner Oort Cloud Object: 2015 TG387
Scott Sheppard, Chadwick Trujillo, David Tholen +1
Inner Oort Cloud objects (IOCs) are Trans-Plutonian for their entire orbits. They are beyond the strong gravitational influences of the known planets yet close enough to the Sun th…
The 2016 Reactivations of Main-Belt Comets 238P/Read and 288P/(300163) 2006 VW139
Henry H. Hsieh, Masateru Ishiguro, Yoonyoung Kim +7
We report observations of the reactivations of main-belt comets 238P/Read and 288P/(300163) 2006 VW139, that also track the evolution of each object's activity over several months…
Follow-up Imaging of Disk Candidates from the Disk Detective Citizen Science Project: New Discoveries and False-Positives in WISE Circumstellar Disk Surveys
Steven M. Silverberg, Marc J. Kuchner, John P. Wisniewski +17
The Disk Detective citizen science project aims to find new stars with excess 22-m emission from circumstellar dust in the AllWISE data release from the Wide-field Infrared Surv…
The Albedos, Sizes, Colors and Satellites of Dwarf Planets Compared with Newly Measured Dwarf Planet 2013 FY27
Scott Sheppard, Yanga Fernandez, Arielle Moullet
2013 FY27 is the ninth intrinsically brightest Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO). We observed 2013 FY27 at thermal wavelengths with ALMA and in the optical with Magellan to determine it…
K2-287b: an Eccentric Warm Saturn transiting a G-dwarf
Andrés Jordán, Rafael Brahm, Néstor Espinoza +23
We report the discovery of K2-287b, a Saturn mass planet orbiting a G-dwarf with a period of days. First uncovered as a candidate using K2 campaign 15 data, follow-u…
TESS Discovery of a Transiting Super-Earth in the Mensae System
Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer Burt, Andrew Vanderburg +45
We report the detection of a transiting planet around Mensae (HD 39091), using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The solar-type host star is unusually…
