Planet Hunters TESS V: a planetary system around a binary star, including a mini-Neptune in the habitable zone
Nora L. Eisner, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Oscar Barragán +61
We report on the discovery and validation of a transiting long-period mini-Neptune orbiting a bright (V = 9.0 mag) G dwarf (TOI 4633; R = 1.05 RSun, M = 1.10 MSun). The planet was…
The Active Asteroids Citizen Science Program: Overview and First Results
Colin Orion Chandler, Chadwick A. Trujillo, William J. Oldroyd +20
We present the Citizen Science program Active Asteroids and describe discoveries stemming from our ongoing project. Our NASA Partner program is hosted on the Zooniverse online plat…
Recurring Activity Discovered on Quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118
William J. Oldroyd, Colin Orion Chandler, Chadwick A. Trujillo +10
We have discovered two epochs of activity on quasi-Hilda 2009 DQ118. Small bodies that display comet-like activity, such as active asteroids and active quasi-Hildas, are important…
New Recurrently Active Main-belt Comet 2010 LH15
Colin Orion Chandler, William J. Oldroyd, Henry H. Hsieh +9
We announce the discovery of a main-belt comet (MBC), 2010 LH15 (alternately designated 2010 TJ175). MBCs are a rare type of main-belt asteroid that display comet-like activity, su…
New Active Asteroid 2015 VA108: A Citizen Science Discovery
Colin Orion Chandler, William J. Oldroyd, Chadwick A. Trujillo +6
We announce the discovery of activity, in the form of a distinct cometary tail, emerging from main-belt asteroid 2015 VA108. Activity was first identified by volunteers of the Citi…
Discovery of Dust Emission Activity Emanating from Main-belt Asteroid 2015 FW412
Colin Orion Chandler, Chadwick A. Trujillo, William J. Oldroyd +6
We present the discovery of activity emanating from main-belt asteroid 2015 FW412, a finding stemming from the Citizen Science project Active Asteroids, a NASA Partner program. We…
Disks in Nearby Young Stellar Associations Found Via Virtual Reality
Susan Higashio, Marc J. Kuchner, Steven M. Silverberg +24
The Disk Detective citizen science project recently released a new catalog of disk candidates found by visual inspection of images from NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (…
Discovery of a Nearby Young Brown Dwarf Disk
M. C. Schutte, K. D. Lawson, J. P. Wisniewski +15
We report the discovery of the youngest brown dwarf with a disk at 102 pc from the Sun, WISEA~J120037.79-784508.3 (W1200-7845), via the Disk Detective citizen science project. We e…
Peter Pan Disks: Long-lived Accretion Disks Around Young M Stars
Steven M. Silverberg, John P. Wisniewski, Marc J. Kuchner +12
WISEA J080822.18-644357.3, an M star in the Carina association, exhibits extreme infrared excess and accretion activity at an age greater than the expected accretion disk lifetime.…
Follow-up Imaging of Disk Candidates from the Disk Detective Citizen Science Project: New Discoveries and False-Positives in WISE Circumstellar Disk Surveys
Steven M. Silverberg, Marc J. Kuchner, John P. Wisniewski +17
The Disk Detective citizen science project aims to find new stars with excess 22-m emission from circumstellar dust in the AllWISE data release from the Wide-field Infrared Surv…
A New M Dwarf Debris Disk Candidate in a Young Moving Group Discovered with Disk Detective
Steven M. Silverberg, Marc J. Kuchner, John P. Wisniewski +15
We used the Disk Detective citizen science project and the BANYAN II Bayesian analysis tool to identify a new candidate member of a nearby young association with infrared excess. W…
Disk Detective: Discovery of New Circumstellar Disk Candidates through Citizen Science
Marc J. Kuchner, Steven M. Silverberg, Alissa S. Bans +23
The Disk Detective citizen science project aims to find new stars with 22 micron excess emission from circumstellar dust using data from NASA's WISE mission. Initial cuts on the Al…
