Kepler-50: Two Planets in Close Resonance Perturbed by a Non-transiting Planet

Daniel Jontof-Hutter, Jason F. Rowe, Jack J. Lissauer +1

Kepler-50 has two transiting planets close to the 6:5 commensurability. We analyze transit times measured from Kepler data with dynamical fits. We attribute the residual signal to…

Accounting for Transit Timing Detectability: Biases in Planetary Radius and Orbital Period

Skylar D'Angiolillo, Daniel Fabrycky, Mariah G. MacDonald

Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) are deviations from the time an observer would expect to see an exoplanet transit its host star. In multi-planetary systems, significant TTVs may i…

Updated Masses for the Gas Giants in the Eight-Planet Kepler-90 System Via Transit-Timing Variation and Radial Velocity Observations

David E. Shaw, Lauren M. Weiss, Eric Agol +28

The eight-planet Kepler-90 system exhibits the greatest multiplicity of planets found to date. All eight planets are transiting and were discovered in photometry from the NASA Kepl…

Validating the Orbital Periods of the Coolest TESS Exoplanet Candidates

Dillon Bass, Daniel Fabrycky

When an exoplanet passes in front of its host star, the resulting eclipse causes an observable decrease in stellar flux, and when multiple such transits are detected, the orbital p…

Updated Catalog of Kepler Planet Candidates: Focus on Accuracy and Orbital Periods

Jack J. Lissauer, Jason F. Rowe, Daniel Jontof-Hutter +5

We present a new catalog of Kepler planet candidates that prioritizes accuracy of planetary dispositions and properties over uniformity. This catalog contains 4376 transiting plane…

Tidal Dissipation in Satellites Prevents Hill Sphere Escape

Andi Kisare, Daniel Fabrycky

The transit method is a promising means to detect exomoons, but few candidates have been identified. For planets close to their stars, the dynamical interaction between a satellite…
