The POKEMON Speckle Survey of Nearby M Dwarfs. II. Observations of 1125 Targets

Catherine A. Clark, Gerard T. van Belle, Elliott P. Horch +7

Stellar multiplicity is correlated with many stellar properties, yet multiplicity measurements have proven difficult for the M dwarfs -- the most common type of star in our galaxy…

The POKEMON Speckle Survey of Nearby M Dwarfs. III. The Stellar Multiplicity Rate of M Dwarfs within 15 pc

Catherine A. Clark, Gerard T. van Belle, Elliott P. Horch +8

M dwarfs are ubiquitous in our galaxy, and the rate at which they host stellar companions, and the properties of these companions, provides a window into the formation and evolutio…

Paving the Road to the Habitable Worlds Observatory with High-Resolution Imaging I: New and Archival Speckle Observations of Potential HWO Target Stars

Zachary D. Hartman, Catherine A. Clark, Michael B. Lund +15

One of the key goals of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to directly image about 25 potentially habitable exoplanets and determine their properties. This challenge will re…

Inside the Iron Curtain: A Long Term Look at the Iron Stars XX Oph and AS 325

Steve B. Howell, Venu M. Kalari, Andy Adamson +1

The Iron Stars XX Oph and AS 325, both binaries consisting of a Be + late K,M II star present remarkable optical spectra. Low velocity, dense winds from the late type star collide…

The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. III. Thirty More Giant Planets

Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +123

We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…
