KELT-20b: A giant planet with a period of P~ 3.5 days transiting the V~ 7.6 early A star HD 185603
Michael B. Lund, Joseph E. Rodriguez, George Zhou +46
We report the discovery of KELT-20b, a hot Jupiter transiting a V~7.6 early A star with an orbital period of P~3.47 days. We identified the initial transit signal in KELT-North sur…
A giant planet undergoing extreme ultraviolet irradiation by its hot massive-star host
B. Scott Gaudi, Keivan G. Stassun, Karen A. Collins +57
The amount of ultraviolet irradiation and ablation experienced by a planet depends strongly on the temperature of its host star. Of the thousands of extra-solar planets now known,…
K2-66b and K2-106b: Two extremely hot sub-Neptune-size planets with high densities
Evan Sinukoff, Andrew W. Howard, Erik A. Petigura +20
We report precise mass and density measurements of two extremely hot sub-Neptune-size planets from the K2 mission using radial velocities, K2 photometry, and adaptive optics imagin…
Characterizing K2 Candidate Planetary Systems Orbiting Low-Mass Stars II: Planetary Systems Observed During Campaigns 1-7
Courtney D. Dressing, Andrew Vanderburg, Joshua E. Schlieder +14
We recently used near-infrared spectroscopy to improve the characterization of 76 low-mass stars around which K2 had detected 79 candidate transiting planets. Thirty of these world…
Two Small Transiting Planets and a Possible Third Body Orbiting HD 106315
Ian J. M. Crossfield, David R. Ciardi, Howard Isaacson +21
The masses, atmospheric makeups, spin-orbit alignments, and system architectures of extrasolar planets can be best studied when the planets orbit bright stars. We report the discov…
