Kepler-21b: A 1.6REarth Planet Transiting the Bright Oscillating F Subgiant Star HD 179070

Steve B. Howell, Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson +63

We present Kepler observations of the bright (V=8.3), oscillating star HD 179070. The observations show transit-like events which reveal that the star is orbited every 2.8 days by…

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…
