Kepler exoplanets: a new method of population analysis
Wesley A. Traub
This paper introduces a new method of inferring the intrinsic exoplanet population from Kepler data, based on the assumption that the frequency of exoplanets can be represented by…
Searching for faint companions with VLTI/PIONIER. I. Method and first results
Olivier Absil, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Jean-Philippe Berger +10
Context. A new four-telescope interferometric instrument called PIONIER has recently been installed at VLTI. It provides improved imaging capabilities together with high precision.…
Terrestrial, Habitable-Zone Exoplanet Frequency from Kepler
Wesley A. Traub
Data from Kepler's first 136 days of operation are analyzed to determine the distribution of exoplanets with respect to radius, period, and host-star spectral type. The analysis is…
Hot exozodiacal dust resolved around Vega with IOTA/IONIC
D. Defrère, O. Absil, J. -C. Augereau +10
Although debris discs have been detected around a significant number of main-sequence stars, only a few of them are known to harbour hot dust in their inner part where terrestrial…
High precision astrometry mission for the detection and characterization of nearby habitable planetary systems with the Nearby Earth Astrometric Telescope (NEAT)
Fabien Malbet, Alain Léger, Michael Shao +49
(abridged) A complete census of planetary systems around a volume-limited sample of solar-type stars (FGK dwarfs) in the Solar neighborhood with uniform sensitivity down to Earth-m…
A New Concept for Direct Imaging and Spectral Characterization of Exoplanets in Multi-planet Systems
Taro Matsuo, Wesley A. Traub, Makoto Hattori +1
We present a novel method for direct detection and characterization of exoplanets from space. This method uses four collecting telescopes, combined with phase chopping and a spectr…
