WFIRST Ultra-Precise Astrometry II: Asteroseismology
A. Gould, D. Huber, M. Penny +1
WFIRST microlensing observations will return high-precision parallaxes, sigma(pi) < 0.3 microarcsec, for the roughly 1 million stars with H<14 in its 2.8 deg^2 field toward the Gal…
Precision asteroseismology of the pulsating white dwarf GD 1212 using a two-wheel-controlled Kepler spacecraft
J. J. Hermes, S. Charpinet, Thomas Barclay +14
We present a preliminary analysis of the cool pulsating white dwarf GD 1212, enabled by more than 11.5 days of space-based photometry obtained during an engineering test of the two…
M-Dwarf Fast Rotators and the Detection of Relatively Young Multiple M-Star Systems
S. Rappaport, J. Swift, A. Levine +9
We have searched the Kepler light curves of ~3900 M-star targets for evidence of periodicities that indicate, by means of the effects of starspots, rapid stellar rotation. Several…
Flicker as a tool for characterizing planets through Asterodensity Profiling
David M. Kipping, Fabienne A. Bastien, Keivan G. Stassun +3
Variability in the time series brightness of a star on a timescale of 8 hours, known as 'flicker', has been previously demonstrated to serve as a proxy for the surface gravity of a…
Validation of Kepler's Multiple Planet Candidates. III: Light Curve Analysis & Announcement of Hundreds of New Multi-planet Systems
Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson, Geoffrey W. Marcy +25
The Kepler mission has discovered over 2500 exoplanet candidates in the first two years of spacecraft data, with approximately 40% of them in candidate multi-planet systems. The hi…
Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition from Gaseous to Rocky Planets
Geoffrey W. Marcy, Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard +100
We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7…
