Five Planets Orbiting 55 Cancri
Debra A. Fischer, Geoffrey W. Marcy, R. Paul Butler +9
We report 18 years of Doppler shift measurements of a nearby star, 55 Cancri, that exhibit strong evidence for five orbiting planets. The four previously reported planets are stron…
Taking the Measure of the Universe: Precision Astrometry with SIM PlanetQuest
Stephen C. Unwin, Michael Shao, Angelle M. Tanner +33
Precision astrometry at microarcsecond accuracy has application to a wide range of astrophysical problems. This paper is a study of the science questions that can be addressed usin…
Fourteen New Companions from the Keck & Lick Radial Velocity Survey Including Five Brown Dwarf Candidates
Shannon G. Patel, Steven S. Vogt, Geoffrey W. Marcy +4
We present radial velocities for 14 stars on the California & Carnegie Planet Search target list that reveal new companions. One star, HD 167665, was fit with a definitive Kepleria…
The N2K Consortium. VII. Atmospheric Parameters of 1907 Metal-Rich Stars: Finding Planet-Search Targets
Sarah E. Robinson, S. Mark Ammons, Katherine A. Kretke +4
We report high-precision atmospheric parameters for 1907 stars in the N2K low-resolution spectroscopic survey, designed to identify metal-rich FGK dwarfs likely to harbor detectabl…
Four New Exoplanets and Hints of Additional Substellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars
J. T. Wright, G. W. Marcy, D. A. Fischer +8
We present four new exoplanets: HIP 14810 b & c, HD 154345 b, and HD 187123 c. The two planets orbiting HIP 14810, from the N2K project, have masses of 3.9 and 0.76 M_jup. We have…
New Debris Disks Around Nearby Main Sequence Stars: Impact on The Direct Detection of Planets
C. Beichman, G. Bryden, K. Stapelfeldt
Using the MIPS instrument on the Spitzer telescope, we have searched for infrared excesses around a sample of 82 stars, mostly F, G, and K main-sequence field stars, along with a s…
