Variability in SSTc2d J163134.1-240100, a brown dwarf with quasi-spherical mass loss

Aleks Scholz, Koraljka Muzic, Victor Almendros-Abad +4

We report on a search for variability in the young brown dwarf SST1624 (~M7 spectral type, M~0.05Msol), previously found to feature an expanding gaseous shell and to undergo quasi-…

Precise mass and radius of a transiting super-Earth planet orbiting the M dwarf TOI-1235: a planet in the radius gap?

P. Bluhm, R. Luque, N. Espinoza +78

We report the confirmation of a transiting planet around the bright, inactive M0.5 V star TOI-1235 (TYC 4384-1735-1, V = 11.5 mag), whose transit signal was detected in the photome…

A giant exoplanet orbiting a very low-mass star challenges planet formation models

J. C. Morales, A. J. Mustill, I. Ribas +179

Statistical analyses from exoplanet surveys around low-mass stars indicate that super-Earth and Neptune-mass planets are more frequent than gas giants around such stars, in agreeme…

Planetary system around the nearby M dwarf GJ 357 including a transiting, hot, Earth-sized planet optimal for atmospheric characterization

R. Luque, E. Pallé, D. Kossakowski +73

We report the detection of a transiting Earth-size planet around GJ 357, a nearby M2.5V star, using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). GJ 357 b (TOI-562.01…

A candidate super-Earth planet orbiting near the snow line of Barnard's star

I. Ribas, M. Tuomi, A. Reiners +60

At a distance of 1.8 parsecs, Barnard's star (Gl 699) is a red dwarf with the largest apparent motion of any known stellar object. It is the closest single star to the Sun, second…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs: High-resolution optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of 324 survey stars

A. Reiners, M. Zechmeister, J. A. Caballero +170

The CARMENES radial velocity (RV) survey is observing 324 M dwarfs to search for any orbiting planets. In this paper, we present the survey sample by publishing one CARMENES spectr…

A terrestrial planet candidate in a temperate orbit around Proxima Centauri

Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Pedro J. Amado, John Barnes +28

At a distance of 1.295 parsecs, the red-dwarf Proxima Centauri ( Centauri C, GL 551, HIP 70890, or simply Proxima) is the Sun's closest stellar neighbor and one of the best stud…

M dwarf search for pulsations within Kepler GO program

C. Rodríguez-López, J. E. Gizis, J. MacDonald +2

We present the analysis of four M dwarf stars -plus one M giant that seeped past our selection criteria- observed in Cycle 3 of Kepler Guest Observer program (GO3) in a search for…

The theoretical instability strip of M dwarf stars

C. Rodríguez-López, J. MacDonald, P. J. Amado +2

The overstability of the fundamental radial mode in M dwarf models was theoretically predicted by Rodríguez-López et al. (2012). The periods were found to be in the ranges ~25-40 m…

Pulsations in M dwarf stars

C. Rodríguez-López, J. MacDonald, A. Moya

We present the results of the first theoretical non-radial non-adiabatic pulsational study of M dwarf stellar models with masses in the range 0.1 to 0.5M_solar. We find the fundame…

Modeling the System Parameters of 2M1533+3759: A New Longer-Period Low-Mass Eclipsing sdB+dM Binary

B. -Q. For, E. M. Green, G. Fontaine +17

We present new photometric and spectroscopic observations for 2M 1533+3759 (= NSVS 07826147). It has an orbital period of 0.16177042 day, significantly longer than the 2.3--3.0 hou…
