Transit Timing Variation Analysis of OGLE-TR-132b with Seven New Transits
Elisabeth R. Adams, Mercedes Lopez-Morales, James L. Elliot +2
We report the results of the first transit timing variation (TTV) analysis of the very hot Jupiter OGLE-TR-132b, using ten transits collected over a seven-year period. Our analysis…
Exoplanet atmospheres: a brand-new and rapidly expanding research field
Mercedes Lopez-Morales
The field of exoplanets is quickly expanding from just the detection of new planets and the measurement of their most basic parameters, such as mass, radius and orbital configurati…
Habitability of Planets Orbiting Cool Stars
Rory Barnes, Victoria S. Meadows, Shawn D. Domagal-Goldman +6
Terrestrial planets are more likely to be detected if they orbit M dwarfs due to the favorable planet/star size and mass ratios. However, M dwarf habitable zones are significantly…
Fundamental Properties of Cool Stars with Interferometry
Tabetha S. Boyajian, K. von Braun, G. van Belle +11
We present measurements of fundamental astrophysical properties of nearby, low-mass, K- and M-dwarfs from our DISCOS survey (DIameterS of COol Stars). The principal goal of our stu…
Predicted dynamos for terrestrial extra-solar planets and their influence in habitability
Natalia Gomez-Perez, Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Thomas Ruedas
In this paper, we find the internal stratification for terrestrial planets with given mass-radius pairs, and use the core size and density to estimate their maximum dipolar magneti…
Six High-Precision Transits of OGLE-TR-113b
E. R. Adams, M. Lopez-Morales, J. L. Elliot +2
We present six new transits of the hot Jupiter OGLE-TR-113b observed with MagIC on the Magellan Telescopes between January 2007 and May 2009. We update the system parameters and re…
