Geosynchronous Microlens Parallaxes
Andrew Gould
I show that for a substantial fraction of planets detected in a space-based survey, it would be possible to measure the planet and host masses and distances, if the survey satellit…
KELT-3b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a V=9.8 Late-F Star
Joshua Pepper, Robert J. Siverd, Thomas G. Beatty +31
We report the discovery of KELT-3b, a moderately inflated transiting hot Jupiter with a mass of 1.477 (-0.067, +0.066) M_J, and radius of 1.345 +/- 0.072 R_J, with an orbital perio…
Reddening and Extinction Toward the Galactic Bulge from OGLE-III: The Inner Milky Way's Rv ~ 2.5 Extinction Curve
David M. Nataf, Andrew Gould, Pascal Fouqué +11
We combine VI photometry from OGLE-III with VVV and 2MASS measurements of E(J-K_{s}) to resolve the longstanding problem of the non-standard optical extinction toward the Galactic…
KELT-1b: A Strongly Irradiated, Highly Inflated, Short Period, 27 Jupiter-mass Companion Transiting a mid-F Star
Robert J. Siverd, Thomas G. Beatty, Joshua Pepper +29
We present the discovery of KELT-1b, the first transiting low-mass companion from the wide-field Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope-North (KELT-North) survey. The V=10.7 primary…
KELT-2Ab: A Hot Jupiter Transiting the Bright (V=8.77) Primary Star of a Binary System
Thomas G. Beatty, Joshua Pepper, Robert J. Siverd +28
We report the discovery of KELT-2Ab, a hot Jupiter transiting the bright (V=8.77) primary star of the HD 42176 binary system. The host is a slightly evolved late F-star likely in t…
General Complex Polynomial Root Solver and Its Further Optimization for Binary Microlenses
J. Skowron, A. Gould
We present a new algorithm to solve polynomial equations, and publish its code, which is 1.6-3 times faster than the ZROOTS subroutine that is commercially available from Numerical…
Detached Red Giant Eclipsing Binary Twins: Rosetta Stones to the Galactic Bulge
David M. Nataf, Andrew Gould, Marc H. Pinsonneault
We identify 34 highly-probable detached, red giant eclipsing binary pairs among 315 candidates in Devor's catalog of 10,000 OGLE-II eclipsing binaries. We estimate that there…
