Day-side z'-band emission and eccentricity of Wasp-12b
Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, David K. Sing +5
We report the detection of the eclipse of the very-hot Jupiter WASP-12b via z'-band time-series photometry obtained with the 3.5-meter ARC telescope at Apache Point Observatory. We…
Ks-band detection of thermal emission and color constraints to CoRoT-1b: A low-albedo planet with inefficient atmospheric energy redistribution and a temperature inversion
Justin C. Rogers, Daniel Apai, Mercedes Lopez-Morales +2
We report the detection in Ks-band of the secondary eclipse of the hot Jupiter CoRoT-1b, from time series photometry with the ARC 3.5-m telescope at Apache Point Observatory. The e…
Eclipsing Binary Stars as Tests of Stellar Evolutionary Models and Stellar Ages
Keivan G. Stassun, Leslie Hebb, Mercedes Lopez-Morales +1
Eclipsing binary stars provide highly accurate measurements of the fundamental physical properties of stars. They therefore serve as stringent tests of the predictions of evolution…
Ground-based secondary eclipse detection of the very-hot Jupiter OGLE-TR-56b
David K. Sing, Mercedes Lopez-Morales
We report on the detection of the secondary eclipse of the very-hot Jupiter OGLE-TR-56b from combined z-band time series photometry obtained with the VLT and Magellan telescopes. W…
Transit Timing Observations of the Extrasolar Hot-Neptune Planet GL 436b
Guy S. Stringfellow, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, Mercedes López-Morales +4
Gliese 436 is an M dwarf with a mass of 0.45 Msun and hosts the extrasolar planet GL 436b [3, 6, 7, 2], which is currently the least massive transiting planet with a mass of ~23.17…
