Consequences of the Ejection and Disruption of Giant Planets
James Guillochon, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Douglas N. C. Lin
The discovery of Jupiter-mass planets in close orbits about their parent stars has challenged models of planet formation. Recent observations have shown that a number of these plan…
The GJ1214 Super-Earth System: Stellar Variability, New Transits, and a Search for Additional Planets
Zachory K. Berta, David Charbonneau, Jacob Bean +5
The super-Earth GJ1214b transits a nearby M dwarf that exhibits 1% intrinsic variability in the near-infrared. Here, we analyze new observations to refine the physical properties o…
A ground-based transmission spectrum of the super-Earth exoplanet GJ1214b
Jacob L. Bean, Eliza Miller-Ricci Kempton, Derek Homeier
In contrast to planets with masses similar to that of Jupiter and higher, the bulk compositions of planets in the so-called super-Earth regime cannot be uniquely determined from a…
Transmission Spectra of Transiting Planet Atmospheres: Model Validation and Simulations of the Hot Neptune GJ 436b for JWST
Megan Shabram, Jonathan J. Fortney, Thomas P. Greene +1
We explore the transmission spectrum of the Neptune-class exoplanet GJ 436b, including the possibility that its atmospheric opacity is dominated by a variety of non- equilibrium ch…
The Lick-Carnegie Survey: Four New Exoplanet Candidates
Stefano Meschiari, Gregory Laughlin, Steven S. Vogt +4
We present new precise HIRES radial velocity (RV) data sets of five nearby stars obtained at Keck Observatory. HD 31253, HD 218566, HD 177830, HD 99492 and HD 74156 are host stars…
Secondary Eclipse Photometry of WASP-4b with Warm Spitzer
Ingrid M. Beerer, Heather A. Knutson, Adam Burrows +10
We present photometry of the giant extrasolar planet WASP-4b at 3.6 and 4.5 micron taken with the Infrared Array Camera on board the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of Spitzer's ex…
System Geometries and Transit / Eclipse Probabilities
Kaspar von Braun, Stephen R. Kane, Suvrath Mahadevan +3
Transiting exoplanets provide access to data to study the mass-radius relation and internal structure of extrasolar planets. Long-period transiting planets allow insight into plane…
Warm Spitzer Photometry of the Transiting Exoplanets CoRoT-1 and CoRoT-2 at Secondary Eclipse
Drake Deming, Heather Knutson, Eric Agol +9
We measure secondary eclipses of the hot giant exoplanets CoRoT-1 at 3.6 and 4.5 microns, and CoRoT-2 at 3.6 microns, both using Warm Spitzer. We find that the Warm Spitzer mission…
Improving Transit Predictions of Known Exoplanets with TERMS
Stephen R. Kane, David Ciardi, Debra Fischer +7
Transiting planet discoveries have largely been restricted to the short-period or low-periastron distance regimes due to the bias inherent in the geometric transit probability. Thr…
The Occurrence and Mass Distribution of Close-in Super-Earths, Neptunes, and Jupiters
Andrew W. Howard, Geoffrey W. Marcy, John Asher Johnson +7
The questions of how planets form and how common Earth-like planets are can be addressed by measuring the distribution of exoplanet masses and orbital periods. We report the occurr…
Composition of Massive Giant Planets
Ravit Helled, Peter Bodenheimer, Jack J. Lissauer
The two current models for giant planet formation are core accretion and disk instability. We discuss the core masses and overall planetary enrichment in heavy elements predicted b…
A Population of Very-Hot Super-Earths in Multiple-Planet Systems Should be Uncovered by Kepler
Kevin C. Schlaufman, D. N. C. Lin, S. Ida
We simulate a Kepler-like observation of a theoretical exoplanet population and we show that the observed orbital period distribution of the Kepler giant planet candidates is best…
Three-dimensional Disk-Planet Torques in a Locally Isothermal Disk
Gennaro D'Angelo, Stephen H. Lubow
We determine an expression for the Type I planet migration torque involving a locally isothermal disk, with moderate turbulent viscosity (~0.0005 < alpha < ~0.05), based on three-d…
Gliese 581g as a scaled-up version of Earth: atmospheric circulation simulations
Kevin Heng, Steven S. Vogt
We use three-dimensional simulations to study the atmospheric circulation on the first Earth-sized exoplanet discovered in the habitable zone of an M star. We treat Gliese 581g as…
Thermal evolution and structure models of the transiting super-Earth GJ 1214b
N. Nettelmann, J. J. Fortney, U. Kramm +1
The planet GJ 1214b is the second known super-Earth with a measured mass and radius. Orbiting a quiet M-star, it receives considerably less mass-loss driving X-ray and UV radiation…
The Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey: A 3.1 M_Earth Planet in the Habitable Zone of the Nearby M3V Star Gliese 581
Steven S. Vogt, R. Paul Butler, Eugenio J. Rivera +3
We present 11 years of HIRES precision radial velocities (RV) of the nearby M3V star Gliese 581, combining our data set of 122 precision RVs with an existing published 4.3-year set…
Exoplanet albedo spectra and colors as a function of planet phase, separation, and metallicity
Kerri L. Cahoy, Mark S. Marley, Jonathan J. Fortney
First generation optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas and ice giant exoplanets around nearby stars. The albedo spectra of exoplanets at planet-star separ…
A Scientometric Prediction of the Discovery of the First Potentially Habitable Planet with a Mass Similar to Earth
Samuel Arbesman, Gregory Laughlin
The search for a habitable extrasolar planet has long interested scientists, but only recently have the tools become available to search for such planets. In the past decades, the…

Bryce Croll, David Lafreniere, Loic Albert +3
We present Ks, H & J-band photometry of the very highly irradiated hot Jupiter WASP-12b using the Wide-field Infrared Camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope. Our photometry b…

Evolution of Spin Direction of Accreting Magnetic Protostars and Spin-Orbit Misalignment in Exoplanetary Systems
Dong Lai, Francois Foucart, Douglas N. C. Lin
Recent observations have shown that in many exoplanetary systems the spin axis of the parent star is misaligned with the planet's orbital axis. These have been used to argue agains…
