A Precise Estimate of the Radius of HD 149026b
Philip Nutzman, David Charbonneau, Joshua N. Winn +4
We present Spitzer 8 micron transit observations of the extrasolar planet system HD 149026. At this wavelength, transit light curves are weakly affected by stellar limb-darkening,…
The MEarth project: searching for transiting habitable super-Earths around nearby M-dwarfs
Jonathan Irwin, David Charbonneau, Philip Nutzman +1
Due to their small radii, M-dwarfs are very promising targets to search for transiting super-Earths, with a planet of 2 Earth radii orbiting an M5 dwarf in the habitable zone givin…
A Precise Estimate of the Radius of the Exoplanet HD 149026b from Spitzer Photometry
Philip Nutzman, David Charbonneau, Joshua N. Winn +4
We present Spitzer 8 micron transit observations of the extrasolar planet HD 149026b. At this wavelength, transit light curves are weakly affected by stellar limb-darkening, allowi…
Parameters and Predictions for the Long-Period Transiting Planet HD 17156b
Jonathan Irwin, David Charbonneau, Philip Nutzman +8
We report high-cadence time-series photometry of the recently-discovered transiting exoplanet system HD 17156, spanning the time of transit on UT 2007 October 1, from three separat…
Design Considerations for a Ground-based Transit Search for Habitable Planets Orbiting M dwarfs
Philip Nutzman, David Charbonneau
By targeting nearby M dwarfs, a transit search using modest equipment is capable of discovering planets as small as 2 Earth radii in the habitable zones of their host stars. The ME…
Deep Photometry of GRB 041006 Afterglow: Hypernova Bump at Redshift z=0.716
K. Z. Stanek, P. M. Garnavich, P. A. Nutzman +17
We present deep optical photometry of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 041006 and its associated hypernova obtained over 65 days after detection (55 R-band epochs on 10 diffe…
