Aligned Stellar Obliquities for Two Hot Jupiter-hosting M Dwarfs Revealed by MAROON-X: Implications for Hot Jupiter Formation
Drew Weisserman, Erik Gillis, Ryan Cloutier +14
Hot Jupiters (HJs) are less common around early M dwarfs than around AFGK stars, suggesting that HJs may form and/or migrate via distinct pathways around different type…
An Earth-like Density for the Temperate Earth-sized Planet GJ 12b
Madison Brady, Jacob Bean, Ritvik Basant +9
While JWST has provided us with the opportunity to probe the atmospheres of potentially-habitable planets, observations of the TRAPPIST-1 system have shown us that active stars sev…
Four sub-Earth planets orbiting Barnard's Star from MAROON-X and ESPRESSO
Ritvik Basant, Rafael Luque, Jacob L. Bean +9
Barnard's Star is an old, single M dwarf star that comprises the second-closest extrasolar system. It has a long history of claimed planet detections from both radial velocities an…
Calibrating the Instrumental Drift in MAROON-X using an Ensemble Analysis
Ritvik Basant, Tanya Das, Jacob L. Bean +7
MAROON-X is a state-of-the-art extreme precision radial velocity spectrograph deployed on the 8.1-meter Gemini-N telescope on Maunakea, Hawai'i. Using a stabilized Fabry-Pérot etal…
A Small Brown Dwarf in an Aligned Orbit around a Young, Fully-Convective M Star
M. Brady, J. Bean, G. Stefánsson +6
A star's spin-orbit angle can give us insight into a system's formation and dynamical history. In this paper, we use MAROON-X observations of the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect to…
