Newly-Discovered Planets Orbiting HD~5319, HD~11506, HD~75784 and HD~10442 from the N2K Consortium

Matthew J. Giguere, Debra A. Fischer, Matthew J. Payne +4

Initially designed to discover short-period planets, the N2K campaign has since evolved to discover new worlds at large separations from their host stars. Detecting such worlds wil…

The NASA-UC-UH Eta-Earth Program: IV. A Low-mass Planet Orbiting an M Dwarf 3.6 PC from Earth

Andrew W. Howard, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Debra A. Fischer +8

We report the discovery of a low-mass planet orbiting Gl 15 A based on radial velocities from the Eta-Earth Survey using HIRES at Keck Observatory. Gl 15 Ab is a planet with minimu…

Warm Ice Giant GJ 3470b. II Revised Planetary and Stellar Parameters from Optical to Near-infrared Transit Photometry

Lauren I. Biddle, Kyle A. Pearson, Ian J. M. Crossfield +19

It is important to explore the diversity of characteristics of low-mass, low-density planets to understand the nature and evolution of this class of planets. We present a homogeneo…

Large eccentricity, low mutual inclination: the three-dimensional architecture of a hierarchical system of giant planets

Rebekah I. Dawson, John Asher Johnson, Daniel C. Fabrycky +11

We establish the three-dimensional architecture of the Kepler-419 (previously KOI-1474) system to be eccentric yet with a low mutual inclination. Kepler-419b is a warm Jupiter at s…

HAT-P-54b: A hot jupiter transiting a 0.64 Msun star in field 0 of the K2 mission

G. Á. Bakos, J. D. Hartman, W. Bhatti +22

We report the discovery of HAT-P-54b, a planet transiting a late K dwarf star in field 0 of the NASA K2 mission. We combine ground-based photometric light curves with radial veloci…

Atmospheric Characterization of the Hot Jupiter Kepler-13Ab

Avi Shporer, Joseph G. O'Rourke, Heather A. Knutson +12

Kepler-13Ab (= KOI-13.01) is a unique transiting hot Jupiter. It is one of very few known short-period planets orbiting a hot A-type star, making it one of the hottest planets curr…

Occurrence and core-envelope structure of 1--4x Earth-size planets around Sun-like stars

Geoffrey W. Marcy, Lauren M. Weiss, Erik A. Petigura +3

Small planets, 1-4x the size of Earth, are extremely common around Sun-like stars, and surprisingly so, as they are missing in our solar system. Recent detections have yielded enou…

Multiwavelength Observations of the Candidate Disintegrating sub-Mercury KIC 12557548b

Bryce Croll, Saul Rappaport, John DeVore +11

We present multiwavelength photometry, high angular resolution imaging, and radial velocities, of the unique and confounding disintegrating low-mass planet candidate KIC 12557548b.…

Hubble Space Telescope Near-IR Transmission Spectroscopy of the Super-Earth HD 97658b

Heather A. Knutson, Diana Dragomir, Laura Kreidberg +7

Recent results from the Kepler mission indicate that super-Earths (planets with masses between 1-10 times that of the Earth) are the most common kind of planet around nearby Sun-li…

Limits on Stellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars With Eccentric Planets

Stephen R. Kane, Steve B. Howell, Elliott P. Horch +6

Though there are now many hundreds of confirmed exoplanets known, the binarity of exoplanet host stars is not well understood. This is particularly true of host stars which harbor…

The 55 Cancri Planetary System: Fully Self-Consistent N-body Constraints and a Dynamical Analysis

Benjamin E. Nelson, Eric B. Ford, Jason T. Wright +5

We present an updated study of the planets known to orbit 55 Cancri A using 1,418 high-precision radial velocity observations from four observatories (Lick, Keck, Hobby-Eberly Tele…
