GJ 3470 c: A Saturn-like Exoplanet Candidate in the Habitable Zone of GJ 3470

Phillip Scott, Bradley Walter, Quanzhi Ye +12

We report the discovery of a new exoplanet candidate orbiting the star GJ 3470. A total of three transits were detected by OKSky Observatory: the first one on December 23, 2019, th…

Precise radial velocities of giant stars IX. HD 59686 Ab: a massive circumstellar planet orbiting a giant star in a ~13.6 au eccentric binary system

Mauricio Ortiz, Sabine Reffert, Trifon Trifonov +11

Context: For over 12 yr, we have carried out a precise radial velocity survey of a sample of 373 G and K giant stars using the Hamilton Échelle Spectrograph at Lick Observatory. Th…

Precise radial velocities of giant stars V. A brown dwarf and a planet orbiting the K giant stars tau Gem and 91 Aqr

D. S. Mitchell, S. Reffert, T. Trifonov +2

We aim to detect and characterize substellar companions to K giant stars, to further our knowledge of planet formation and stellar evolution of intermediate-mass stars. For more th…

Precise radial velocities of giant stars. IV. A correlation between surface gravity and radial velocity variation and a statistical investigation of companion properties

S. Hekker, I. A. G. Snellen, C. Aerts +3

Since 1999, we have been conducting a radial velocity survey of 179 K giants using the CAT at UCO/Lick observatory. At present ~20-100 measurements have been collected per star wit…

Radial velocities of giant stars: an investigation of line profile variations

S. Hekker, I. A. G. Snellen, C. Aerts +3

Since 1999, a radial velocity survey of 179 red giant stars is ongoing at Lick Observatory with a one month cadence. At present ~20-100 measurements have been collected per star wi…

The spin axes orbital alignment of both stars within the eclipsing binary system V1143Cyg using the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect

S. Albrecht, S. Reffert, I. Snellen +2

Context: The Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect, a rotational effect in eclipsing systems, provides unique insight into the relative orientation of stellar spin axes and orbital axes…
