Origins of Mercury's Big Heart of Iron: Exploring Pathways to Form High Core Mass Fraction (CMF) Planets via N-body Simulations
Haniyeh Tajer, Ji Wang, Anna C. Childs +3
Mercury's core mass fraction (CMF) is ~0.7, more than double that of the other rocky planets in the solar system, which have CMFs of ~0.3. The origin of Mercury's large, iron-rich…
HD 206893 B at High Spectral Resolution with the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC)
Ben Sappey, Quinn Konopacky, Clarissa R. Do O +38
We present an atmospheric characterization and orbital analysis of HD 206893 B, an exceptionally red, L/T-transition substellar companion in a multiplanetary system, via Keck Plane…
Resolving the Young 2 Cygni Run-away Star into a Binary using iLocater
Justin R. Crepp, Jonathan Crass, Andrew J. Bechter +30
Precision radial velocity (RV) spectrographs that use adaptive optics (AO) show promise to advance telescope observing capabilities beyond those of seeing-limited designs. We are b…
Detection and Bulk Properties of the HR 8799 Planets with High Resolution Spectroscopy
Jason J. Wang, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Evan Morris +49
Using the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC), we obtained high-resolution (R35,000) -band spectra of the four planets orbiting HR 8799. We clearly detected \water…
Searching For Transiting Planets Around Halo Stars. I. Sample Selection and Validation
Jared R. Kolecki, Ji Wang, Jennifer A. Johnson +3
By measuring the elemental abundances of a star, we can gain insight into the composition of its initial gas cloud -- the formation site of the star and its planets. Planet formati…
Exoplanets Sciences with Nulling Interferometers and a Single-Mode Fiber-Fed Spectrograph
Ji Wang, Colby Jurgenson
Understanding the atmospheres of exoplanets is a milestone to decipher their formation history and potential habitability. High-contrast imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanets is t…
On the Chemical Abundance of HR 8799 and the Planet c
Ji Wang, Jason Wang, Bo Ma +10
Comparing chemical abundances of a planet and the host star reveals the origin and formation path. Stellar abundance is measured with high-resolution spectroscopy. Planet abundance…
