Are We There Yet? Challenges in Quantifying the Frequency of Earth Analogs in the Habitable Zone
Rachel B. Fernandes, Samson Johnson, Galen J. Bergsten +43
Searching for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most highly prioritized pursuits in astronomy today. However, the ability to observe evidence of Earth-like life through…
The Orbital Eccentricities of Planets in the Kinematic Thin and Thick Galactic Disks
Sheila Sagear, Sarah Ballard, Kathryne J. Daniel +4
The orbital eccentricity distribution of exoplanets is shaped by a combination of dynamical processes, reflecting both formation conditions and long-term evolution. Probing the orb…
The Orbital Eccentricity-Radius Relation for Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs
Sheila Sagear, Sarah Ballard, Gregory J. Gilbert +2
The orbital eccentricity-radius relation for small planets is indicative of the predominant dynamical sculpting processes during late-stage orbital evolution. Previous studies have…
An Increase in the Galactic Planet Host Fraction Fails to Reproduce the Galactic Height Trend in Planet Occurrence
Christopher Lam, Sarah Ballard, Sheila Sagear +1
While stellar metallicity has long been known to correlate with planetary properties, the galactic metallicity gradient alone does not account for the observed strong trend in plan…
The Orbital Eccentricity Distribution of Planets Orbiting M dwarfs
Sheila Sagear, Sarah Ballard
We investigate the underlying distribution of orbital eccentricities for planets around early-to-mid M dwarf host stars. We employ a sample of 163 planets around early- to mid-M dw…
The Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES) I. Survey Overview, Reduction Pipeline, and Early Results
Patrick Tamburo, Philip S. Muirhead, Allison M. McCarthy +9
We describe the Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES), a near-infrared photometric search for short-period transiting planets and moons around a sample of 393 spectroscopica…
