Simultaneous photometric and CARMENES spectroscopic monitoring of fast-rotating M dwarf GJ 3270. Discovery of a post-flare corotating feature

E. N. Johnson, S. Czesla, B. Fuhrmeister +33

Context: Active M dwarfs frequently exhibit large flares, which can pose an existential threat to the habitability of any planet in orbit in addition to making said planets more di…

Identification and Mitigation of a Vibrational Telescope Systematic with Application to Spitzer

Ryan C. Challener, Joseph Harrington, James Jenkins +17

We observed Proxima Centauri with the Spitzer Space Telescope InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) five times in 2016 and 2017 to search for transits of Proxima Centauri b. Following stand…

A multiple planet system of super-Earths orbiting the brightest red dwarf star GJ887

S. V. Jeffers, S. Dreizler, J. R. Barnes +29

The nearest exoplanets to the Sun are our best possibilities for detailed characterization. We report the discovery of a compact multi-planet system of super-Earths orbiting the ne…

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…

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…

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…
