Characterizing K2 Planet Discoveries: A super-Earth transiting the bright K-dwarf HIP 116454
Andrew Vanderburg, Benjamin T. Montet, John Asher Johnson +43
We report the first planet discovery from the two-wheeled Kepler (K2) mission: HIP 116454 b. The host star HIP 116454 is a bright (V = 10.1, K = 8.0) K1-dwarf with high proper moti…
The orbit and dynamical evolution of the Chelyabinsk object
Vacheslav V. Emel'yanenko, Sergey A. Naroenkov, Peter Jenniskens +1
The orbit of the Chelyabinsk object is calculated, applying the least-squares method directly to astrometric positions. The dynamical evolution of this object in the past is studie…
Yarkovsky-Driven Spreading of the Eureka Family of Mars Trojans
Matija Ćuk, Apostolos A. Christou, Douglas P. Hamilton
Out of nine known stable Mars Trojans, seven appear to be members of an orbital grouping including the largest Trojan, Eureka. In order to test if this could be a genetic family, w…
Kepler-432: a red giant interacting with one of its two long period giant planets
Samuel N. Quinn, Timothy R. White, David W. Latham +28
We report the discovery of Kepler-432b, a giant planet () transiting an evolved star $(M_\star =…
Corrugations and eccentric spirals in Saturn's D ring: New insights into what happened at Saturn in 1983
M. M. Hedman, J. A. Burns, M. R. Showalter
Previous investigations of Saturn's outer D ring (73,200-74,000 km from Saturn's center) identified periodic brightness variations whose radial wavenumber increased linearly over t…
Tidal evolution in multiple planet systems: application to Kepler-62 and Kepler-186
Emeline Bolmont, Sean N. Raymond, Jérémy Leconte +2
A large number of observed exoplanets are part of multiple planet systems. Most of these systems are sufficiently close-in to be tidally evolving. In such systems, there is a compe…
