Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler IV: Planet Sample From Q1-Q8 (22 Months)
Christopher J. Burke, Stephen T. Bryson, F. Mullally +37
We provide updates to the Kepler planet candidate sample based upon nearly two years of high-precision photometry (i.e., Q1-Q8). From an initial list of nearly 13,400 Threshold Cro…
Stellar Diameters and Temperatures V. Eleven Newly Characterized Exoplanet Host Stars
Kaspar von Braun, Tabetha S. Boyajian, Gerard T. van Belle +17
We use near-infrared interferometric data coupled with trigonometric parallax values and spectral energy distribution fitting to directly determine stellar radii, effective tempera…
Precision near-infrared radial velocity instrumentation I: Absorption Gas Cells
Peter P. Plavchan, Guillem Anglada-Escude, Russel White +18
We have built and commissioned gas absorption cells for precision spectroscopic radial velocity measurements in the near-infrared in the H and K bands. We describe the construction…
Precision near-infrared radial velocity instrumentation II: Non-Circular Core Fiber Scrambler
Peter P. Plavchan, Michael Bottom, Peter Gao +18
We have built and commissioned a prototype agitated non-circular core fiber scrambler for precision spectroscopic radial velocity measurements in the near-infrared H band. We have…
New Uses for the Kepler Telescope: A Survey of the Ecliptic Plane For Transiting Planets and Star Formation
Charles Beichman, David Ciardi, Rachel Akeson +8
With the loss of two reaction wheels, the period of Kepler's ultra-high precision photometric performance is at an end. Yet Kepler retains unique capabilities impossible to replica…
Measurement of Spin-Orbit Misalignment and Nodal Precession for the Planet around Pre-Main-Sequence Star PTFO 8-8695 From Gravity Darkening
Jason W. Barnes, Julian C. van Eyken, Brian K. Jackson +2
PTFO 8-8695b represents the first transiting exoplanet candidate orbiting a pre-main-sequence star. We find that the unusual lightcurve shapes of PTFO 8-8695 can be explained by tr…
