The Atmospheric Signatures of Super-Earths: How to Distinguish Between Hydrogen-Rich and Hydrogen-Poor Atmospheres
E. Miller-Ricci, D. Sasselov, S. Seager
Extrasolar super-Earths (1-10 M$_{\earth}$) are likely to exist with a wide range of atmospheres. Some super-Earths may be able to retain massive hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Others…
Polaris the Cepheid returns: 4.5 years of monitoring from ground and space
H. Bruntt, N. R. Evans, D. Stello +6
We present the analysis of 4.5 years of nearly continuous observations of the classical Cepheid Polaris, which comprise the most precise data available for this star. We have made…
MOST Spacebased Photometry of the Transiting Exoplanet System HD 189733: Precise Timing Measurements for Transits Across an Active Star
E. Miller-Ricci, J. F. Rowe, D. Sasselov +8
We have measured transit times for HD 189733b passing in front of its bright (V = 7.67) chromospherically active and spotted parent star. Nearly continuous broadband optical photom…
MOST Spacebased Photometry of the Transiting Exoplanet System HD 209458: Transit Timing to Search for Additional Planets
E. Miller-Ricci, J. F. Rowe, D. Sasselov +7
We report on the measurement of transit times for the HD 209458 planetary system from photometry obtained with the MOST (Microvariability & Oscillations of STars) space telescope.…
The Very Low Albedo of an Extrasolar Planet: MOST Spacebased Photometry of HD 209458
Jason F. Rowe, Jaymie M. Matthews, Sara Seager +8
Measuring the albedo of an extrasolar planet provides insights into its atmospheric composition and its global thermal properties, including heat dissipation and weather patterns.…
Looking for Super-Earths in the HD 189733 System: A Search for Transits in Most Space-Based Photometry
Bryce Croll, Jaymie M. Matthews, Jason F. Rowe +10
We have made a comprehensive transit search for exoplanets down to ~1.5 - 2 Earth radii in the HD 189733 system, based on 21-days of nearly uninterrupted broadband optical photomet…
