The On/Off Nature of Star-Planet Interactions
Evgenya Shkolnik, David A. Bohlender, Gordon A. H. Walker +1
Evidence suggesting an observable magnetic interaction between a star and its hot Jupiter appears as a cyclic variation of stellar activity synchronized to the planet's orbit. In t…
Recent MOST space photometry
Gordon A. H. Walker
The Microvariability and Oscillations of STars (MOST) photometric satellite has already undertaken more than 64 primary campaigns which include some clusters and has obtained obser…
The Very Low Albedo of an Extrasolar Planet: MOST Spacebased Photometry of HD 209458
Jason F. Rowe, Jaymie M. Matthews, Sara Seager +8
Measuring the albedo of an extrasolar planet provides insights into its atmospheric composition and its global thermal properties, including heat dissipation and weather patterns.…
Looking for Super-Earths in the HD 189733 System: A Search for Transits in Most Space-Based Photometry
Bryce Croll, Jaymie M. Matthews, Jason F. Rowe +10
We have made a comprehensive transit search for exoplanets down to ~1.5 - 2 Earth radii in the HD 189733 system, based on 21-days of nearly uninterrupted broadband optical photomet…
MOST photometry and DDO spectroscopy of the eclipsing (white dwarf + red dwarf) binary V471 Tau
Krzysztof Z. Kaminski, Slavek M. Rucinski, Jaymie M. Matthews +7
The Hyades K2V+WD system 471 Tau is a prototype post-common envelope system and a likely cataclysmic binary progenitor. We present 10 days of nearly continuous optical photometry b…
Discovery of the strongly eccentric, short-period binary nature of the B-type system HD 313926 by the MOST satellite
Slavek Rucinski, Rainer Kuschnig, Jaymie M. Matthews +7
The MOST photometric space mission discovered an eclipsing binary among its guide stars in June 2006 which combines a relatively large eccentricity e = 0.20 with an orbital period…
