A sub-Neptune sized planet transiting the M2.5-dwarf G 9-40: Validation with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder
Gudmundur Stefansson, Caleb Cañas, John Wisniewski +32
We validate the discovery of a 2 Earth radii sub-Neptune-size planet around the nearby high proper motion M2.5-dwarf G 9-40 (EPIC 212048748), using high-precision near-infrared (NI…
The Orbit of WASP-12b is Decaying
Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Heather A. Knutson +6
WASP-12b is a transiting hot Jupiter on a 1.09-day orbit around a late-F star. Since the planet's discovery in 2008, the time interval between transits has been decreasing by $29\p…
A Full Implementation of Spectro-Perfectionism for Precise Radial Velocity Exoplanet Detection: A Test Case With the MINERVA Reduction Pipeline
Matthew A. Cornachione, Adam S. Bolton, Jason D. Eastman +10
We present a computationally tractable implementation of spectro-perfectionism, a method which minimizes error imparted by spectral extraction. We develop our method in conjunction…
Calibrating Iodine Cells for Precise Radial Velocities
Sharon Xuesong Wang, Jason T. Wright, Phillip MacQueen +4
High fidelity iodine spectra provide the wavelength and instrument calibration needed to extract precise radial velocities (RVs) from stellar spectral observations taken through io…
Choosing a Maximum Drift Rate in a SETI Search: Astrophysical Considerations
Sofia Z. Sheikh, Jason T. Wright, Andrew P. Siemion +1
A radio transmitter which is accelerating with a non-zero radial component with respect to a receiver will produce a signal that appears to change its frequency over time. This eff…
An Extreme-mass Ratio, Short-period Eclipsing Binary Consisting of a B Dwarf Primary and a Pre-main Sequence M Star Companion Discovered by KELT
Daniel J. Stevens, George Zhou, Marshall C. Johnson +16
We present the discovery of \thisstar\ (HD 58730), a very low mass ratio () eclipsing binary (EB) identified by the Kilodegree Extremely Little Teles…
