Kepler Eclipsing Binary Stars. VII. The Catalog of Eclipsing Binaries Found in the Entire Kepler Data-Set
Brian Kirk, Kyle Conroy, Andrej Prša +47
The primary Kepler Mission provided nearly continuous monitoring of ~200,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. We present the final catalog of eclipsing binary syst…
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…
First supra-THz Heterodyne Array Receivers for Astronomy with the SOFIA Observatory
Christophe Risacher, Rolf Guesten, Juergen Stutzki +15
We present the upGREAT THz heterodyne arrays for far-infrared astronomy. The Low Frequency Array (LFA) is designed to cover the 1.9-2.5 THz range using 2x7-pixel waveguide-based HE…
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…
That's How We Roll: The NASA K2 Mission Science Products and Their Performance Metrics
Jeffrey E. Van Cleve, Steve B. Howell, Jeffrey C. Smith +6
NASA's exoplanet Discovery mission Kepler was reconstituted as the K2 mission a year after the failure of the 2nd of Kepler's 4 reaction wheels in May 2013. The new spacecraft poin…
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…
The K2 Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog (EPIC) and Stellar Classifications of 138,600 Targets in Campaigns 1-8
Daniel Huber, Stephen T. Bryson, Michael R. Haas +6
The K2 Mission uses the Kepler spacecraft to obtain high-precision photometry over ~80 day campaigns in the ecliptic plane. The Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog (EPIC) provides coordin…
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…
First Scattered-Light Image of the Debris Disk around HD 131835 with the Gemini Planet Imager
Li-Wei Hung, Gaspard Duchêne, Pauline Arriaga +34
We present the first scattered-light image of the debris disk around HD 131835 in band using the Gemini Planet Imager. HD 131835 is a 15 Myr old A2IV star at a distance o…
Oscillation frequencies for 35 \Kepler solar-type planet-hosting stars using Bayesian techniques and machine learning
G. R. Davies, V. Silva Aguirre, T. R. Bedding +16
\Kepler has revolutionised our understanding of both exoplanets and their host stars. Asteroseismology is a valuable tool in the characterisation of stars and \Kepler is an excelle…
High-resolution IR absorption spectroscopy of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: the realm of anharmonicity
Elena Maltseva, Annemieke Petrignani, Alessandra Candian +6
We report on an experimental and theoretical investigation of the importance of anharmonicity in the 3 micron CH stretching region of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) molecule…
The Frequency of Giant impacts on Earth-like Worlds
Elisa V. Quintana, Thomas Barclay, William Borucki +2
The late stages of terrestrial planet formation are dominated by giant impacts that collectively influence the growth, composition and habitability of any planets that form. Hither…
Radio SETI Observations of the Anomalous Star KIC 8462852
G. R. Harp, Jon Richards, Seth Shostak +3
We report on a search for the presence of signals from extraterrestrial intelligence in the direction of the star system KIC 8462852. Observations were made at radio frequencies be…
Asteroids and the James Webb Space Telescope
Andrew S. Rivkin, Franck Marchis, John A. Stansberry +3
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provides the opportunity for ground-breaking observations of asteroids. It covers wavelength regions that are unavailable from the ground, and…
The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons
S. A. Stern, F. Bagenal, K. Ennico +148
The Pluto system was recently explored by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, making closest approach on 14 July 2015. Pluto's surface displays diverse landforms, terrain ages, albedos…
