Disk Dispersal: Theoretical Understanding and Observational Constraints

U. Gorti, R. Liseau, Zs. Sandor +1

Protoplanetary disks dissipate rapidly after the central star forms, on time-scales comparable to those inferred for planet formation. In order to allow the formation of planets, d…

Optical SETI Observations of the Anomalous Star KIC 8462852

Marlin Schuetz, Douglas A. Vakoch, Seth Shostak +1

To explore the hypothesis that KIC 8462852's aperiodic dimming is caused by artificial megastructures in orbit (Wright et al. 2015), rather than a natural cause such as cometary fr…

Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler. VII. The First Fully Uniform Catalog Based on The Entire 48 Month Dataset (Q1-Q17 DR24)

Jeffrey L. Coughlin, F. Mullally, Susan E. Thompson +32

We present the seventh Kepler planet candidate catalog, which is the first to be based on the entire, uniformly processed, 48 month Kepler dataset. This is the first fully automate…

Kepler-1647b: the largest and longest-period Kepler transiting circumbinary planet

Veselin B. Kostov, Jerome A. Orosz, William F. Welsh +28

We report the discovery of a new Kepler transiting circumbinary planet (CBP). This latest addition to the still-small family of CBPs defies the current trend of known short-period…

The LEECH Exoplanet Imaging Survey: Characterization of the Coldest Directly Imaged Exoplanet, GJ 504 b, and Evidence for Super-Stellar Metallicity

Andrew J. Skemer, Caroline V. Morley, Neil T. Zimmerman +39

As gas giant planets and brown dwarfs radiate away the residual heat from their formation, they cool through a spectral type transition from L to T, which encompasses the dissipati…

On the Stellar Companion to the Exoplanet Hosting Star 30 Arietis B

Stephen R. Kane, Thomas Barclay, Michael Hartmann +6

A crucial aspect of understanding planet formation is determining the binarity of the host stars. Results from radial velocity surveys and the follow-up of Kepler exoplanet candida…
