A Distant Mirror: Solar Oscillations Observed on Neptune by the Kepler K2 Mission

P. Gaulme, J. F. Rowe, T. R. Bedding +24

Starting in December 2014, Kepler K2 observed Neptune continuously for 49 days at a 1-minute cadence. The goals consisted of studying its atmospheric dynamics (Simon et al. 2016),…

Peculiar architectures for the WASP-53 and WASP-81 planet-hosting systems

Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Marion Neveu-VanMalle, Monika Lendl +16

We report the detection of two new systems containing transiting planets. Both were identified by WASP as worthy transiting planet candidates. Radial-velocity observations quickly…

Standing on the shoulders of Dwarfs: the Kepler asteroseismic LEGACY sample II - radii, masses, and ages

Victor Silva Aguirre, Mikkel N. Lund, H. M. Antia +21

We use asteroseismic data from the Kepler satellite to determine fundamental stellar properties of the 66 main-sequence targets observed for at least one full year by the mission.…

ACCESS I: An Optical Transmission Spectrum of GJ 1214b Reveals a Heterogeneous Stellar Photosphere

Benjamin Rackham, Néstor Espinoza, Dániel Apai +8

GJ 1214b is the most studied sub-Neptune exoplanet to date. Recent measurements have shown its near-infrared transmission spectrum to be flat, pointing to a high-altitude opacity s…
