The dynamical evolution of dwarf planet (136108) Haumea's collisional family: General properties and implications for the trans-Neptunian belt
Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Jonathan Horner, Tadashi Mukai +1
Recently, the first collisional family was identified in the trans-Neptunian belt. The family consists of Haumea and at least ten other ~100km-sized trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs)…
A High Stellar Obliquity in the WASP-7 Exoplanetary System
Simon Albrecht, Joshua N. Winn, R. Paul Butler +5
We measure a tilt of 86+-6 deg between the sky projections of the rotation axis of the WASP-7 star, and the orbital axis of its close-in giant planet. This measurement is based on…
Jupiter - Friend or Foe? IV: The influence of orbital eccentricity and inclination
J. Horner, B. W. Jones
For many years, it was assumed that Jupiter prevented the Earth from being subject to a punishing impact regime that would greatly hinder the development of life. Here, we present…
The Pan-Pacific Planet Search. I. A Giant Planet Orbiting 7 CMa
R. A. Wittenmyer, M. Endl, L. Wang +3
We introduce the Pan-Pacific Planet Search, a survey of 170 metal-rich Southern hemisphere subgiants using the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope. We report the first discovery from t…
Revisiting the proposed planetary system orbiting the eclipsing polar HU Aquarii
Robert A. Wittenmyer, J. A. Horner, J. P. Marshall +2
It has recently been proposed, on the basis of eclipse-timing data, that the eclipsing polar cataclysmic variable HU Aquarii is host to at least two giant planets. However, that re…
A dynamical analysis of the proposed HU Aquarii planetary system
J. Horner, J. P. Marshall, Robert A. Wittenmyer +1
It has recently been suggested that the eclipsing polar HU Aquarii is host to at least two giant planets. We have performed highly detailed dynamical analysis of the orbits of thos…
On collisional capture rates of irregular satellites around the gas-giant planets and the minimum mass of the solar nebula
F. Elliott Koch, Bradley M. S. Hansen
We investigated the probability that an inelastic collision of planetesimals within the Hill sphere of the Jovian planets could explain the presence and orbits of observed irregula…
The Distribution of Carbon Monoxide in the Lower Atmosphere of Venus
Daniel V. Cotton, Jeremy Bailey, D. Crisp +1
We have obtained spatially resolved near-infrared spectroscopy of the Venus nightside on 15 nights over three observing seasons. We use the depth of the CO absorption band at 2.3 m…
The Frequency of Low-Mass Exoplanets. III. Toward eta-Earth at Short Periods
Robert A. Wittenmyer, C. G. Tinney, R. P. Butler +5
Determining the occurrence rate of terrestrial-mass planets (m_p < 10M_earth) is a critically important step on the path towards determining the frequency of Earth-like planets (et…
The Near-IR Spectrum of Titan Modeled with an Improved Methane Line List
Jeremy Bailey, Linda Ahlsved, V. S. Meadows
We have obtained spatially resolved spectra of Titan in the near-infrared J, H and K bands at a resolving power of ~5000 using the near-infrared integral field spectrometer (NIFS)…
The Pan-Pacific Planet Search: A southern hemisphere search for planets orbiting evolved massive stars
Robert A. Wittenmyer, John A. Johnson, Liang Wang +1
The vast majority of known extrasolar planets orbit stars with a narrow range of masses (0.7-1.3 M_sun). Recent years have seen rapid growth in our knowledge about the properties o…
News From The Gamma Cephei Planetary System
Michael Endl, William D. Cochran, Artie P. Hatzes +1
The Gamma Cephei planetary system is one of the most interesting systems due to several reasons: 1.) it is the first planet candidate detected by precise radial velocity (RV) measu…
