A Search for Multi-Planet Systems Using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope

Robert A. Wittenmyer, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran +2

Extrasolar multiple-planet systems provide valuable opportunities for testing theories of planet formation and evolution. The architectures of the known multiple-planet systems dem…

HD 91669b: A New Brown Dwarf Candidate from the McDonald Observatory Planet Search

Robert A. Wittenmyer, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran +4

We report the detection of a candidate brown dwarf orbiting the metal-rich K dwarf HD 91669, based on radial-velocity data from the McDonald Observatory Planet Search. HD 91669b is…

A multi-site campaign to measure solar-like oscillations in Procyon. I. Observations, Data Reduction and Slow Variations

Torben Arentoft, Hans Kjeldsen, Timothy R. Bedding +45

We have carried out a multi-site campaign to measure oscillations in the F5 star Procyon A. We obtained high-precision velocity observations over more than three weeks with eleven…

Oscillations in Procyon A: First results from a multi-site campaign

S. Hekker, T. Arentoft, H. Kjeldsen +45

Procyon A is a bright F5IV star in a binary system. Although the distance, mass and angular diameter of this star are all known with high precision, the exact evolutionary state is…

An m sin i = 24 Earth Mass Planetary Companion To The Nearby M Dwarf GJ 176

Michael Endl, William D. Cochran, Robert A. Wittenmyer +1

We report the detection of a planetary companion with a minimum mass of m sin i = 0.0771 M_Jup = 24.5 M_Earth to the nearby (d = 9.4 pc) M2.5V star GJ 176. The star was observed as…

Dynamical and Observational Constraints on Additional Planets in Highly Eccentric Planetary Systems

Robert A. Wittenmyer, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran +1

Long time coverage and high radial velocity precision have allowed for the discovery of additional objects in known planetary systems. Many of the extrasolar planets detected have…
