Constraints on the binary black hole hypothesis for system LB-1
R. -F. Shen, C. D. Matzner, A. W. Howard +1
At about 70 solar masses, the recently-discovered dark object orbited by a B-type star in the system LB-1 is difficult to understand as the end point of standard stellar evolution,…
A wide star-black-hole binary system from radial-velocity measurements
Jifeng Liu, Haotong Zhang, Andrew W. Howard +52
All stellar mass black holes have hitherto been identified by X-rays emitted by gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. These systems are all binaries with…
The full phase curve of the eclipsing hot white dwarf binary system KOI-964
Ian Wong, Avi Shporer, Juliette C. Becker +6
We analyze the full phase curve of KOI-964, a binary system consisting of a hot white dwarf on an eclipsing orbit around an A-type host star. Using all 18 quarter…
An extremely low-density and temperate giant exoplanet
A. Santerne, L. Malavolta, M. R. Kosiarek +68
Transiting extrasolar planets are key objects in the study of the formation, migration, and evolution of planetary systems. In particular, the exploration of the atmospheres of gia…
K2-19b and c are in a 3:2 Commensurability but out of Resonance: A Challenge to Planet Assembly by Convergent Migration
Erik A. Petigura, John Livingston, Konstantin Batygin +11
K2-19b and c were among the first planets discovered by NASA's K2 mission and together stand in stark contrast with the physical and orbital properties of the solar system planets.…
The Effects of Telluric Contamination in Iodine Calibrated Precise Radial Velocities
Sharon Xuesong Wang, Jason T. Wright, Chad Bender +4
We characterized the effects of telluric absorption lines on the radial velocity (RV) precision of stellar spectra taken through an iodine cell. To isolate the effects induced by t…
