HAT-P-42b and HAT-P-43b. Two Inflated Transiting Hot Jupiters from the HATNet Survey
I. Boisse, J. Hartman, G. Bakos +20
First identified from the HATNet wide-field photometric survey, these candidate transiting planets were then followed-up with a variety of photometric observations. Determining the…
A lower radius and mass for the transiting extrasolar planet HAT-P-8b
L. Mancini, J. Southworth, S. Ciceri +10
Context. The extrasolar planet HAT-P-8 b was thought to be one of the more inflated transiting hot Jupiters. Aims. By using new and existing photometric data, we computed precise e…
Spectral Fingerprints of Earth-like Planets Around FGK Stars
Sarah Rugheimer, Lisa Kaltenegger, Andras Zsom +2
We present model atmospheres for an Earth-like planet orbiting the entire grid of main sequence FGK stars with effective temperatures ranging from Teff = 4250K to Teff = 7000K in 2…
The debris disk around gamma Doradus resolved with Herschel
Hannah Broekhoven-Fiene, Brenda C. Matthews, Grant M. Kennedy +11
We present observations of the debris disk around gamma Doradus, an F1V star, from the Herschel Key Programme DEBRIS (Disc Emission via Bias-free Reconnaissance in the Infrared/Sub…
Emission lines between 1 and 2 keV in Cometary X-ray Spectra
Ian Ewing, Damian J. Christian, Dennis Bodewits +3
We present the detection of new cometary X-ray emission lines in the 1.0 to 2.0 keV range using a sample of comets observed with the Chandra X-ray observatory and ACIS spectrometer…
Millimeter Emission Structure in the first ALMA Image of the AU Mic Debris Disk
Meredith A. MacGregor, David J. Wilner, Katherine A. Rosenfeld +9
We present 1.3 millimeter ALMA Cycle 0 observations of the edge-on debris disk around the nearby, ~10 Myr-old, M-type star AU Mic. These observations obtain 0.6 arcsec (6 AU) resol…
A DEBRIS Disk Around The Planet Hosting M-star GJ581 Spatially Resolved with Herschel
J. -F. Lestrade, B. C. Matthews, B. Sibthorpe +17
Debris disks have been found primarily around intermediate and solar mass stars (spectral types A-K) but rarely around low mass M-type stars. We have spatially resolved a debris di…
The Mass, Orbit, and Tidal Evolution of the Quaoar-Weywot System
W. C. Fraser, K. Batygin, M. E. Brown +1
Here we present new adaptive optics observations of the Quaoar-Weywot system. With these new observations we determine an improved system orbit. Due to a 0.39 day alias that exists…
A search for transits of GJ 581\lowercase{e} and characterization of the host star variability using MOST space telescope photometry
Diana Dragomir, Jaymie M. Matthews, Rainer Kuschnig +7
The GJ 581 system has been amply studied since its discovery in 2005: the number of known planets in the system has increased and their orbital parameters are among the most precis…
KELT-3b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a V=9.8 Late-F Star
Joshua Pepper, Robert J. Siverd, Thomas G. Beatty +31
We report the discovery of KELT-3b, a moderately inflated transiting hot Jupiter with a mass of 1.477 (-0.067, +0.066) M_J, and radius of 1.345 +/- 0.072 R_J, with an orbital perio…
A paucity of proto-hot Jupiters on super-eccentric orbits
Rebekah I. Dawson, Ruth A. Murray-Clay, John Asher Johnson
Gas giant planets orbiting within 0.1 AU of their host stars, unlikely to have formed in situ, are evidence for planetary migration. It is debated whether the typical hot Jupiter s…
The Quasiperiodic Automated Transit Search Algorithm
Joshua A. Carter, Eric Agol
We present a new algorithm for detecting transiting extrasolar planets in time-series photometry. The Quasiperiodic Automated Transit Search (QATS) algorithm relaxes the usual assu…
2011 HM102: Discovery of a High-Inclination L5 Neptune Trojan in the Search for a post-Pluto New Horizons Target
Alex H. Parker, Marc W. Buie, David J. Osip +20
We present the discovery of a long-term stable L5 (trailing) Neptune Trojan in data acquired to search for candidate Trans-Neptunian objects for the New Horizons spacecraft to fly…
Planet Hunters: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet in a Quadruple Star System
Megan E. Schwamb, Jerome A. Orosz, Joshua A. Carter +17
We report the discovery and confirmation of a transiting circumbinary planet (PH1b) around KIC 4862625, an eclipsing binary in the Kepler field. The planet was discovered by volunt…
Colors of extreme exo-Earth environments
Siddharth Hegde, Lisa Kaltenegger
The search for extrasolar planets has already detected rocky planets and several planetary candidates with minimum masses that are consistent with rocky planets in the habitable zo…
A 1D microphysical cloud model for Earth, and Earth-like exoplanets. Liquid water and water ice clouds in the convective troposphere
A. Zsom, L. Kaltenegger, C. Goldblatt
One significant difference between the atmospheres of stars and exoplanets is the presence of condensed particles (clouds or hazes) in the atmosphere of the latter. The main goal o…
GTC OSIRIS transiting exoplanet atmospheric survey: detection of sodium in XO-2b from differential long-slit spectroscopy
D. K. Sing, C. M. Huitson, M. Lopez-Morales +8
We present two transits of the hot-Jupiter exoplanet XO-2b using the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). The time series observations were performed using long-slit spectroscopy of XO-…
Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: VII. Confirmation of 27 planets in 13 multiplanet systems via Transit Timing Variations and orbital stability
Jason H. Steffen, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric Agol +15
We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically significant anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs), which demonstrates that the pl…
The Detection and Characterization of a Nontransiting Planet by Transit Timing Variations
David Nesvorny, David M. Kipping, Lars A. Buchhave +3
The Kepler Mission is monitoring the brightness of ~150,000 stars searching for evidence of planetary transits. As part of the "Hunt for Exomoons with Kepler" (HEK) project, we rep…
On the detectability of star-planet interaction
Brendan P. Miller, Elena Gallo, Jason T. Wright +1
Magnetic (or tidal) interactions between "hot Jupiters" and their host stars can potentially enhance chromospheric and coronal activity. An ideal testbed for investigating this eff…
Alignment of the stellar spin with the orbits of a three-planet system
Roberto Sanchis-Ojeda, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Josh N. Winn +16
The Sun's equator and the planets' orbital planes are nearly aligned, which is presumably a consequence of their formation from a single spinning gaseous disk. For exoplanetary sys…
