Characterizing the Cool KOIs. VII. Refined Physical Properties of the Transiting Brown Dwarf LHS 6343 C

Benjamin T. Montet, John Asher Johnson, Philip S. Muirhead +8

We present an updated analysis of LHS 6343, a triple system in the Kepler field which consists of a brown dwarf transiting one member of a widely-separated M+M binary system. By an…

Multiplicity of the Galactic Senior Citizens: A high-resolution search for cool subdwarf companions

Carl Ziegler, Nicholas M. Law, Christoph Baranec +2

Cool subdwarfs are the oldest members of the low mass stellar population. Mostly present in the galactic halo, subdwarfs are characterized by their low metallicity. Measuring their…
