Two Earth-sized planets orbiting Kepler-20
Francois Fressin, Guillermo Torres, Jason F. Rowe +33
Since the discovery of the first extrasolar giant planets around Sun-like stars, evolving observational capabilities have brought us closer to the detection of true Earth analogues…
WISE/NEOWISE observations of Active Bodies in the Main Belt
James M. Bauer, A. K. Mainzer, Tommy Grav +22
We report results based on mid-infrared photometry of 5 active main belt objects (AMBOs) detected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft. Four of these bodies…
EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory
G. Tinetti, J. P. Beaulieu, T. Henning +131
A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our Solar System in context…
Kepler-22b: A 2.4 Earth-radius Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Sun-like Star
William J. Borucki, David G. Koch, Natalie Batalha +80
A search of the time-series photometry from NASA's Kepler spacecraft reveals a transiting planet candidate orbiting the 11th magnitude G5 dwarf KIC 10593626 with a period of 290 da…
Information Content of Exoplanetary Transit Spectra: An Initial Look
M. R. Line, X. Zhang, G. Vaisht +3
It has been shown that spectroscopy of transiting extrasolar planets can potentially provide a wealth of information about their atmospheres. Herein, we set up the inverse problem…
NEOWISE Studies of Asteroids with Sloan Photometry: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, J. Masiero, T. Grav +11
We have combined the NEOWISE and Sloan Digital Sky Survey data to study the albedos of 24,353 asteroids with candidate taxonomic classifications derived using Sloan photometry. We…
Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Asteroid (4) Vesta
Jian-Yang Li, Dennis Bodewits, Lori M. Feaga +6
We report a comprehensive review of the UV-visible spectrum and rotational lightcurve of Vesta combining new observations by Hubble Space Telescope and Swift Gamma-ray Burst Observ…
Gap opening beyond dead zones by photoevaporation
Ryuji Morishima
We propose a new hypothesis for the origin of protoplanetary discs with large inner holes (or gaps), so-called transition discs. Our gas disc model takes into account layered accre…
Searching for faint companions with VLTI/PIONIER. I. Method and first results
Olivier Absil, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Jean-Philippe Berger +10
Context. A new four-telescope interferometric instrument called PIONIER has recently been installed at VLTI. It provides improved imaging capabilities together with high precision.…
Kepler 18-b, c, and d: A System Of Three Planets Confirmed by Transit Timing Variations, Lightcurve Validation, Spitzer Photometry and Radial Velocity Measurements
William D. Cochran, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Guillermo Torres +51
We report the detection of three transiting planets around a Sunlike star, which we designate Kepler-18. The transit signals were detected in photometric data from the Kepler satel…
WISE/NEOWISE Observations of the Hilda Population: Preliminary Results
T. Grav, A. K. Mainzer, J. Bauer +14
We present the preliminary analysis of 1023 known asteroids in the Hilda region of the Solar System observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WI…
WISE/NEOWISE Observations of the Jovian Trojans: Preliminary Results
T. Grav, A. K. Mainzer, J. Bauer +13
We present the preliminary analysis of over 1739 known and 349 candidate Jovian Trojans observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). With th…
A Hot Gap Around Jupiter's Orbit in the Solar Nebula
N. J. Turner, M. Choukroun, J. Castillo-Rogez +1
The Sun was an order of magnitude more luminous during the first few hundred thousand years of its existence, due in part to the gravitational energy released by material accreting…
NEOWISE Studies of Spectrophotometrically Classified Asteroids: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Masiero +10
The NEOWISE dataset offers the opportunity to study the variations in albedo for asteroid classification schemes based on visible and near-infrared observations for a large sample…
NEOWISE Observations of Near-Earth Objects: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Bauer +34
With the NEOWISE portion of the \emph{Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} (WISE) project, we have carried out a highly uniform survey of the near-Earth object (NEO) population at…
Toward Direct Detection of Hot Jupiters with Precision Closure Phase: Calibration Studies and First Results from the CHARA Array
M. Zhao, J. D. Monnier, X. Che +12
Direct detection of thermal emission from nearby hot Jupiters has greatly advanced our knowledge of extrasolar planets in recent years. Since hot Jupiter systems can be regarded as…
Ground-based detections of thermal emission from CoRoT-1b and WASP-12b
Ming Zhao, John D. Monnier, Mark R. Swain +2
We report a new detection of the H-band thermal emission of CoRoT-1b and two confirmation detections of the Ks-band thermal emission of WASP-12b at secondary eclipses. The H-band m…
Terrestrial, Habitable-Zone Exoplanet Frequency from Kepler
Wesley A. Traub
Data from Kepler's first 136 days of operation are analyzed to determine the distribution of exoplanets with respect to radius, period, and host-star spectral type. The analysis is…

Accretion of Saturn's mid-sized moons during the viscous spreading of young massive rings: solving the paradox of silicate-poor rings versus silicate-rich moons
Sébastien Charnoz, Aurélien Crida, Julie C. Castillo-Rogez +7
The origin of Saturn's inner mid-sized moons (Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione and Rhea) and Saturn's rings is debated. Charnoz et al. (2010) introduced the idea that the smallest i…
