Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler IV: Planet Sample From Q1-Q8 (22 Months)
Christopher J. Burke, Stephen T. Bryson, F. Mullally +37
We provide updates to the Kepler planet candidate sample based upon nearly two years of high-precision photometry (i.e., Q1-Q8). From an initial list of nearly 13,400 Threshold Cro…
The Structure of Exoplanets
David S. Spiegel, Jonathan J. Fortney, Christophe Sotin
The hundreds of exoplanets that have been discovered in the past two decades offer a new perspective on planetary structure. Instead of being the archetypal examples of planets, th…
A Search for Methane in the Atmosphere of GJ 1214b via GTC Narrow-Band Transmission Spectrophotometry
P. A. Wilson, K. D. Colón, D. K. Sing +11
We present narrow-band photometric measurements of the exoplanet GJ 1214b using the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the OSIRIS instrument. Using tuneable filters we obser…
A non-grey analytical model for irradiated atmospheres. I: Derivation
Vivien Parmentier, Tristan Guillot
Context. Semi-grey atmospheric models (with one opacity for the visible and one opacity for the infrared) are useful to understand the global structure of irradiated atmospheres, t…
Three-Dimensional Radiation-Hydrodynamics Calculations of the Envelopes of Young Planets Embedded in Protoplanetary Disks
Gennaro D'Angelo, Peter Bodenheimer
We perform global three-dimensional (3D) radiation-hydrodynamics calculations of the envelopes surrounding young planetary cores of 5, 10, and 15 Earth masses, located in a protopl…
Giant Planet Formation, Evolution, and Internal Structure
Ravit Helled, Peter Bodenheimer, Morris Podolak +7
The large number of detected giant exoplanets offers the opportunity to improve our understanding of the formation mechanism, evolution, and interior structure of gas giant planets…
Understanding the Mass-Radius Relation for Sub-Neptunes: Radius as a Proxy for Composition
Eric D. Lopez, Jonathan J. Fortney
Transiting planet surveys like Kepler have provided a wealth of information on the distribution of planetary radii, particularly for the new populations of super-Earth and sub-Nept…
A non-grey analytical model for irradiated atmospheres. II: Analytical vs. numerical solutions
Vivien Parmentier, Tristan Guillot, Jonathan J. Fortney +1
The recent discovery and characterization of the diversity of the atmospheres of exoplanets and brown dwarfs calls for the development of fast and accurate analytical models. We qu…
Optical transmission photometry of the highly inflated exoplanet WASP-17b
J. Bento, P. J. Wheatley, C. M. Copperwheat +7
We present ground-based high-precision observations of the transit of WASP-17b using the multi-band photometer ULTRACAM on ESO's NTT in the context of performing transmission spect…
A Rocky Composition for an Earth-sized Exoplanet
Andrew W. Howard, Roberto Sanchis-Ojeda, Geoffrey W. Marcy +7
Planets with sizes between that of Earth (with radius R) and Neptune (about 4 R) are now known to be common around Sun-like stars. Most such planets have been dis…
A Ground-based Optical Transmission Spectrum of WASP-6b
Andrés Jordán, Néstor Espinoza, Markus Rabus +9
We present a ground based optical transmission spectrum of the inflated sub-Jupiter mass planet WASP-6b. The spectrum was measured in twenty spectral channels from 480 nm to 860nm…
A Spitzer Search for Transits of Radial Velocity Detected Super-Earths
J. A. Kammer, H. A. Knutson, A. W. Howard +9
Unlike hot Jupiters or other gas giants, super-Earths are expected to have a wide variety of compositions, ranging from terrestrial bodies like our own to more gaseous planets like…
Spitzer and z' Secondary Eclipse Observations of the Highly Irradiated Transiting Brown Dwarf KELT-1b
Thomas G. Beatty, Karen A. Collins, Jonathan Fortney +9
We present secondary eclipse observations of the highly irradiated transiting brown dwarf KELT-1b. These observations represent the first constraints on the atmospheric dynamics of…
Warm Spitzer and Palomar Near-IR Secondary Eclipse Photometry of Two Hot Jupiters: WASP-48b and HAT-P-23b
Joseph G. O'Rourke, Heather A. Knutson, Ming Zhao +9
We report secondary eclipse photometry of two hot Jupiters, WASP-48b and HAT-P-23b, at 3.6 and 4.5 um taken with the InfraRed Array Camera aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope during…
Inference of Inhomogeneous Clouds in an Exoplanet Atmosphere
Brice-Olivier Demory, Julien de Wit, Nikole Lewis +11
We present new visible and infrared observations of the hot Jupiter Kepler-7b to determine its atmospheric properties. Our analysis allows us to 1) refine Kepler-7b's relatively la…
HST hot Jupiter transmission spectral survey: evidence for aerosols and lack of TiO in the atmosphere of WASP-12b
D. K. Sing, A. Lecavelier des Etangs, J. J. Fortney +17
We present HST optical transmission spectra of the transiting hot Jupiter WASP-12b, taken with the STIS instrument. From the transmission spectra, we are able to decisively rule ou…
The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Frequency of Planets around Young Moving Group Stars
Beth A. Biller, Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj +18
We report results of a direct imaging survey for giant planets around 80 members of the Beta Pic, TW Hya, Tucana-Horologium, AB Dor, and Hercules-Lyra moving groups, observed as pa…
Recent Kepler Results On Circumbinary Planets
William F. Welsh, Jerome A. Orosz, Joshua A. Carter +1
Ranked near the top of the long list of exciting discoveries made with NASA's Kepler photometer is the detection of transiting circumbinary planets. In just over a year the number…
Hubble Space Telescope hot Jupiter Transmission Spectral Survey: detection of water in HAT-P-1b from Wide Field Camera 3 near-infrared spatial scan observations
H. R. Wakeford, D. K. Sing, D. Deming +13
We present Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared transmission spectroscopy of the transiting hot-Jupiter HAT-P-1b. We observed one transit with Wide Field Camera 3 using the G141 lo…
