MagAO Imaging of Long-period Objects (MILO). I. A Benchmark M Dwarf Companion Exciting a Massive Planet around the Sun-like Star HD 7449
Timothy J. Rodigas, Pamela Arriagada, Jackie Faherty +17
We present high-contrast Magellan adaptive optics (MagAO) images of HD 7449, a Sun-like star with one planet and a long-term radial velocity (RV) trend. We unambiguously detect the…
OSSOS II: A Sharp Transition in the Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Kuiper Belt's Scattering Population
C. Shankman, J. J. Kavelaars, B. J. Gladman +8
We measure the absolute magnitude, , distribution, of the scattering Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) as a proxy for their size-frequency distribution. We…
The Outer Solar System Origins Survey: I. Design and First-Quarter Discoveries
Michele T. Bannister, J. J. Kavelaars, Jean-Marc Petit +36
We report the discovery, tracking and detection circumstances for 85 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) from the first 42 deg of the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS). Th…
The Fragility of the Terrestrial Planets During a Giant Planet Instability
Nathan A. Kaib, John E. Chambers
Many features of the outer solar system are replicated in numerical simulations if the giant planets undergo an orbital instability that ejects one or more ice giants. During this…
Direct Exoplanet Detection with Binary Differential Imaging
Timothy J. Rodigas, Alycia Weinberger, Eric E. Mamajek +5
Binaries are typically excluded from direct imaging exoplanet surveys. However, the recent findings of Kepler and radial velocity programs show that planets can and do form in bina…
Brief Follow-up on Recent Studies of Theia's Accretion
Nathan A. Kaib, Nicolas B. Cowan
Kaib & Cowan (2015) recently used terrestrial planet formation simulations to conclude that the moon-forming impactor (Theia) had only a ~5% or less chance of having the same oxyge…
