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…
Can eccentric debris disks be long-lived? A first numerical investigation and application to Reticuli
V. Faramaz, H. Beust, P. Thébault +13
Imaging of debris disks has found evidence for both eccentric and offset disks. One hypothesis is that these provide evidence for massive perturbers that sculpt the observed struct…
Bimodal Distribution of Sulfuric Acid Aerosols in the Upper Haze of Venus
Peter Gao, Xi Zhang, David Crisp +2
The upper haze (UH) of Venus is variable on the order of days and it is populated by two particle modes. We use a 1D microphysics and vertical transport model based on the Communit…
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…
Using Dimers to Measure Biosignatures and Atmospheric Pressure for Terrestrial Exoplanets
Amit Misra, Victoria Meadows, Mark Claire +1
We present a new method to probe atmospheric pressure on Earthlike planets using (O2-O2) dimers in the near-infrared. We also show that dimer features could be the most readily det…
Neptune at Summer Solstice: Zonal Mean Temperatures from Ground-Based Observations 2003-2007
Leigh N. Fletcher, Imke de Pater, Glenn S. Orton +3
Imaging and spectroscopy of Neptune's thermal infrared emission is used to assess seasonal changes in Neptune's zonal mean temperatures between Voyager-2 observations (1989, helioc…
Intercomparison of General Circulation Models for Hot Extrasolar Planets
Inna Polichtchouk, James Y-K. Cho, Chris Watkins +3
We compare five general circulation models (GCMs) which have been recently used to study hot extrasolar planet atmospheres (BOB, CAM, IGCM, MITgcm, and PEQMOD), under three test ca…
Brightness and Orbital Motion Peculiarities of Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON): Comparison with Two Very Different Comets
Zdenek Sekanina
To gain a greater insight into the impending evolution of the physical behavior of comet C/2012 S1, its light curve and orbital properties are compared with those for C/1962 C1 (Se…
Assessment of the 2880 impact threat from asteroid (29075) 1950 DA
D. Farnocchia, S. R. Chesley
In this paper we perform an assessment of the 2880 Earth impact risk for asteroid (29075) 1950 DA. To obtain reliable predictions we analyze the contribution of the observational d…
First submillimeter observation of CO in the stratosphere of Uranus
T. Cavalié, R. Moreno, E. Lellouch +8
Context. Carbon monoxide (CO) has been detected in all Giant Planets and its origin is both internal and external in Jupiter and Neptune. Despite its first detection in Uranus a de…
Conjugate observations of Saturn's northern and southern H3+ aurorae
James O'Donoghue, Tom S. Stallard, Henrik Melin +7
We present an analysis of recent high spatial and spectral resolution ground-based infrared observations of H3+ spectra obtained with the 10-metre Keck II telescope in April 2011.…
The domination of Saturn's low latitude ionosphere by ring `rain'
J. O'Donoghue, T. S. Stallard, H. Melin +5
Saturn's ionosphere is produced when the otherwise neutral atmosphere is exposed to a flow of energetic charged particles or solar radiation. At low latitudes the latter should res…
Global hydromagnetic simulations of a planet embedded in a dead zone: gap opening, gas accretion and formation of a protoplanetary jet
Oliver Gressel, Richard P. Nelson, Neal J. Turner +1
We present global hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with mesh refinement of accreting planets embedded in protoplanetary disks (PPDs). The magnetized disk incl…
Direct Imaging Detection of Methane in the Atmosphere of GJ 504 b
M. Janson, T. Brandt, M. Kuzuhara +54
Most exoplanets detected by direct imaging so far have been characterized by relatively hot (> ~1000 K) and cloudy atmospheres. A surprising feature in some of their atmospheres ha…
The Population of Tiny Near-Earth Objects Observed by NEOWISE
A. Mainzer, J. Bauer, T. Grav +8
Only a very small fraction of the asteroid population at size scales comparable to the object that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia has been discovered to date, and physical prope…
Shedding Light on the Eccentricity Valley: Gap Heating and Eccentricity Excitation of Giant Planets in Protoplanetary Disks
David Tsang, Neal J. Turner, Andrew Cumming
We show that the first order (non co-orbital) corotation torques are significantly modified by entropy gradients in a non-barotropic protoplanetary disk. Such non-barotropic torque…
Global Photometric Properties of Asteroid (4) Vesta Observed with Dawn Framing Camera
Jian-Yang Li, Lucille Le Corre, Stefan E. Schröder +9
Dawn spacecraft orbited Vesta for more than one year and collected a huge volume of multispectral, high-resolution data in the visible wavelengths with the Framing Camera. We prese…
Detection of Propene in Titan's Stratosphere
Conor A. Nixon, Donald E. Jennings, Bruno Bezard +9
The Voyager 1 flyby of Titan in 1980 gave a first glimpse of the chemical complexity of Titan's atmosphere, detecting many new molecules with the infrared spectrometer (IRIS). Thes…
Population of SOHO/STEREO Kreutz Sungrazers and the Arrival of Comet C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy)
Zdenek Sekanina, Rainer Kracht
We examine properties of the population of SOHO/STEREO (dwarf) Kreutz sungrazing comets from 2004 to 2013, including the arrival rates, peculiar gaps, and a potential relationship…
The Kappa Andromedae System: New Constraints on the Companion Mass, System Age & Further Multiplicity
Sasha Hinkley, Laurent Pueyo, Jacqueline K. Faherty +29
Kappa Andromedae is a B9IVn star at 52 pc for which a faint substellar companion separated by 55 AU was recently announced. In this work, we present the first spectrum of the compa…
Star - Planet - Debris Disk Alignment in the HD 82943 system: Is planetary system coplanarity actually the norm?
G. M. Kennedy, M. C. Wyatt, G. Bryden +2
Recent results suggest that the two planets in the HD 82943 system are inclined to the sky plane by 20 +/- 4deg. Here, we show that the debris disk in this system is inclined by 27…
