The First Circumbinary Planet Found by Microlensing: OGLE-2007-BLG-349L(AB)c
D. P. Bennett, S. H. Rhie, A. Udalski +79
We present the analysis of the first circumbinary planet microlensing event, OGLE-2007-BLG-349. This event has a strong planetary signal that is best fit with a mass ratio of $q \a…
Planet Formation Imager (PFI): science vision and key requirements
Stefan Kraus, John D. Monnier, Michael J. Ireland +75
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) project aims to provide a strong scientific vision for ground-based optical astronomy beyond the upcoming generation of Extremely Large Telescopes…
Detection of Solar-Like Oscillations, Observational Constraints, and Stellar Models for Cyg, the Brightest Star Observed by the {\it Kepler} Mission
J. A. Guzik, G. Houdek, W. J. Chaplin +52
Cygni is an F3 spectral-type main-sequence star with visual magnitude V=4.48. This star was the brightest star observed by the original Kepler spacecraft mission. Short-cadence…
Three Temperate Neptunes Orbiting Nearby Stars
Benjamin J. Fulton, Andrew W. Howard, Lauren M. Weiss +17
We present the discovery of three modestly-irradiated, roughly Neptune-mass planets orbiting three nearby Solar-type stars. HD 42618 b has a minimum mass of M$_{\opl…
Dippers and Dusty Disks Edges: A Unified Model
Eva H. L. Bodman, Alice C. Quillen, Megan Ansdell +6
We revisit the nature of large dips in flux from extinction by dusty circumstellar material that is observed by Kepler for many young stars in the Upper Sco and Oph star format…
The Age of the Directly-Imaged Planet Host Star Andromedae Determined From Interferometric Observations
Jeremy Jones, R. J. White, S. Quinn +4
Andromedae, an early type star that hosts a directly imaged low mass companion, is expected to be oblate due to its rapid rotational velocity ( = 162 $\mathrm{km…
Stellar Activity and Exclusion of the Outer Planet in the HD 99492 System
Stephen R. Kane, Badrinath Thirumalachari, Gregory W. Henry +7
A historical problem for indirect exoplanet detection has been contending with the intrinsic variability of the host star. If the variability is periodic, it can easily mimic vario…
Planet Hunters X: Searching for Nearby Neighbors of 75 Planet and Eclipsing Binary Candidates from the K2 Kepler Extended Mission
Joseph R. Schmitt, Andrei Tokovinin, Ji Wang +22
We present high-resolution observations of a sample of 75 K2 targets from Campaigns 1-3 using speckle interferometry on the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope and ada…
Kepler Eclipsing Binary Stars. VIII. Identification of False Positive Eclipsing Binaries and Re-extraction of New Light Curves
Michael Abdul-Masih, Andrej Prsa, Kyle Conroy +9
The Kepler Mission has provided unprecedented, nearly continuous photometric data of 200,000 objects in the 105 deg field of view from the beginning of science op…
