Absolute properties of the low-mass eclipsing binary CM Draconis
J. C. Morales, I. Ribas, C. Jordi +12
Spectroscopic and eclipsing binary systems offer the best means for determining accurate physical properties of stars, including their masses and radii. The data available for low-…
T-Lyr1-17236: A Long-Period Low-Mass Eclipsing Binary
Jonathan Devor, David Charbonneau, Guillermo Torres +8
We describe the discovery of a 0.68+0.52 solar mass eclipsing binary (EB) with an 8.4-day orbital period, found through a systematic search of ten fields of the Trans-atlantic Exop…
The NASA EPOXI mission of opportunity to gather ultraprecise photometry of known transiting exoplanets
Jessie L. Christiansen, David Charbonneau, Michael F. A'Hearn +16
The NASA Discovery mission EPOXI, utilizing the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft, comprises two phases: EPOCh (Extrasolar Planet Observation and Characterization) and DIXI (Deep Impact…
Transits and secondary eclipses of HD 189733 with Spitzer
Eric Agol, Nicolas B. Cowan, James Bushong +4
We present limits on transit timing variations and secondary eclipse depth variations at 8 microns with the Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC camera. Due to the weak limb darkening in t…
The MEarth project: searching for transiting habitable super-Earths around nearby M-dwarfs
Jonathan Irwin, David Charbonneau, Philip Nutzman +1
Due to their small radii, M-dwarfs are very promising targets to search for transiting super-Earths, with a planet of 2 Earth radii orbiting an M5 dwarf in the habitable zone givin…
A Hubble Space Telescope transit light curve for GJ436b
J. L. Bean, G. F. Benedict, D. Charbonneau +6
We present time series photometry for six partial transits of GJ436b obtained with the Fine Guidance Sensor instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Our analysis of these da…
