Bright Opportunities for Atmospheric Characterization of Small Planets: Masses and Radii of K2-3 b, c, d and GJ3470 b from Radial Velocity Measurements and Spitzer Transits

Molly R. Kosiarek, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +36

We report improved masses, radii, and densities for four planets in two bright M-dwarf systems, K2-3 and GJ3470, derived from a combination of new radial velocity and transit obser…

The Little Dippers: Transits of Star-grazing Exocomets?

Megan Ansdell, Eric Gaidos, Tom L. Jacobs +9

We describe EPIC 205718330 and EPIC 235240266, two systems identified in the K2 data whose light curves contain episodic drops in brightness with shapes and durations similar to th…

HD2685 b: A Hot-Jupiter orbiting an early F-type star detected by TESS

M. I. Jones, R. Brahm, N. Espinoza +40

We report on the confirmation of a transiting giant planet around the relatively hot (Teff = 6801 56 K) star HD2685, whose transit signal was detected in Sector 1 data of the…

Constraining the period of the ringed secondary companion to the young star J1407 with photographic plates

R. T. Mentel, M. A. Kenworthy, D. A. Cameron +13

Context. The 16 Myr old star 1SWASP J140747.93-394542.6 (V1400 Cen) underwent a series of complex eclipses in May 2007, interpreted as the transit of a giant Hill sphere filling de…

Follow-up Imaging of Disk Candidates from the Disk Detective Citizen Science Project: New Discoveries and False-Positives in WISE Circumstellar Disk Surveys

Steven M. Silverberg, Marc J. Kuchner, John P. Wisniewski +17

The Disk Detective citizen science project aims to find new stars with excess 22-m emission from circumstellar dust in the AllWISE data release from the Wide-field Infrared Surv…

Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time (ZEIT) VIII: A Two Planet System in Praesepe from K2 Campaign 16

Aaron C. Rizzuto, Andrew Vanderburg, Andrew W. Mann +5

Young planets offer a direct view of the formation and evolution processes that produced the diverse population of mature exoplanet systems known today. The repurposed Kepler missi…

Dust Production and Depletion in Evolved Planetary Systems

J. Farihi, R. van Lieshout, P. W. Cauley +15

The infrared dust emission from the white dwarf GD 56 is found to rise and fall by 20% peak-to-peak over 11.2 yr, and is consistent with ongoing dust production and depletion. It i…

LASSO: Large Adaptive optics Survey for Substellar Objects using the new SAPHIRA detector on Robo-AO

Maissa Salama, James Ou, Christoph Baranec +13

We report on initial results from the largest infrared AO direct imaging survey searching for wide orbit (>100 AU) massive exoplanets and brown dwarfs as companions around young ne…

Measuring the Recoverability of Close Binaries in Gaia DR2 with the Robo-AO Kepler Survey

Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +6

We use the Robo-AO survey of Kepler planetary candidate host stars, the largest adaptive optics survey yet performed, to measure the recovery rate of close stellar binaries in Gaia…

Robo-AO Kepler Survey V: The effect of physically associated stellar companions on planetary systems

Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +7

The Kepler light curves used to detect thousands of planetary candidates are susceptible to dilution due to blending with previously unknown nearby stars. With the automated laser…

The First Naked-Eye Superflare Detected from Proxima Centauri

Ward S. Howard, Matt A. Tilley, Hank Corbett +11

Proxima b is a terrestrial-mass planet in the habitable-zone of Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri's high stellar activity however casts doubt on the habitability of Proxima b: suf…

A Multi-Year Search For Transits Of Proxima Centauri. I: Light Curves Corresponding To Published Ephemerides

David L. Blank, Dax Feliz, Karen A. Collins +14

Proxima Centauri has become the subject of intense study since the radial-velocity discovery by Anglada-Escudé et al. 2016 of a planet orbiting this nearby M-dwarf every ~ 11.2 day…
