LSPM J1112+7626: detection of a 41-day M-dwarf eclipsing binary from the MEarth transit survey
Jonathan M. Irwin, Samuel N. Quinn, Zachory K. Berta +13
We report the detection of eclipses in LSPM J1112+7626, which we find to be a moderately bright (I_C = 12.14 +/- 0.05) very low-mass binary system with an orbital period of 41.0323…
On the angular momentum evolution of fully-convective stars: rotation periods for field M-dwarfs from the MEarth transit survey
Jonathan Irwin, Zachory K. Berta, Christopher J. Burke +4
We present rotation period measurements for 41 field M-dwarfs, all of which have masses inferred (from their parallaxes and 2MASS K-band magnitudes) to be between the hydrogen burn…
Asteroseismology of the Transiting Exoplanet Host HD 17156 with HST FGS
Ronald L. Gilliland, Peter R. McCullough, Edmund P. Nelan +5
Observations conducted with the Fine Guidance Sensor on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) providing high cadence and precision time-series photometry were obtained over 10 consecutive d…
NLTT 41135: a field M-dwarf + brown dwarf eclipsing binary in a triple system, discovered by the MEarth observatory
Jonathan Irwin, Lars Buchhave, Zachory K. Berta +13
We report the discovery of an eclipsing companion to NLTT 41135, a nearby M5 dwarf that was already known to have a wider, slightly more massive common proper motion companion, NLT…
GJ 3236: a new bright, very low-mass eclipsing binary system discovered by the MEarth observatory
Jonathan Irwin, David Charbonneau, Zachory K. Berta +14
We report the detection of eclipses in GJ 3236, a bright (I = 11.6) very low mass binary system with an orbital period of 0.77 days. Analysis of light- and radial velocity curves o…
