The development of HISPEC for Keck and MODHIS for TMT: science cases and predicted sensitivities
Quinn M. Konopacky, Ashley D. Baker, Dimitri Mawet +72
HISPEC is a new, high-resolution near-infrared spectrograph being designed for the W.M. Keck II telescope. By offering single-shot, R=100,000 between 0.98 - 2.5 um, HISPEC will ena…
State of the Field: Extreme Precision Radial Velocities
Debra Fischer, Guillem Anglada-Escude, Pamela Arriagada +53
The Second Workshop on Extreme Precision Radial Velocities defined circa 2015 the state of the art Doppler precision and identified the critical path challenges for reaching 10 cm/…
HATS-15 b and HATS-16 b: Two massive planets transiting old G dwarf stars
S. Ciceri, L. Mancini, T. Henning +28
We report the discovery of HATS-15 b and HATS-16 b, two massive transiting extrasolar planets orbiting evolved ( Gyr) main-sequence stars. The planet HATS-15 b, which is h…
A high obliquity orbit for the hot-Jupiter HATS-14b transiting a 5400K star
G. Zhou, D. Bayliss, J. D. Hartman +8
We report a spin-orbit misalignment for the hot-Jupiter HATS-14b, measuring a projected orbital obliquity of |lambda|= 76 -5/+4 deg. HATS-14b orbits a high metallicity, 5400 K G dw…
A Comprehensive Characterization of the 70 Virginis Planetary System
Stephen R. Kane, Tabetha S. Boyajian, Gregory W. Henry +6
An on-going effort in the characterization of exoplanetary systems is the accurate determination of host star properties. This effort extends to the relatively bright host stars of…
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
George R. Ricker, Joshua N. Winn, Roland Vanderspek +55
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars. TESS has been selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics Ex…
Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition from Gaseous to Rocky Planets
Geoffrey W. Marcy, Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard +100
We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7…
Characterizing the Cool KOIs. V. KOI-256: A Mutually Eclipsing Post-Common Envelope Binary
Philip S. Muirhead, Andrew Vanderburg, Avi Shporer +23
We report that Kepler Object of Interest 256 (KOI-256) is a mutually eclipsing post-common envelope binary (ePCEB), consisting of a cool white dwarf (M = 0.592 +/- 0.089 MSun, R =…
The California Planet Survey III. A Possible 2:1 Resonance in the Exoplanetary Triple System HD 37124
J. T. Wright, Dimitri Veras, Eric B. Ford +8
We present new radial velocities from Keck Observatory and both Newtonian and Keplerian solutions for the triple-planet system orbiting HD 37124. The orbital solution for this syst…
HAT-P-27b: A hot Jupiter transiting a G star on a 3 day orbit
Bence Béky, Gáspár Á. Bakos, Joel Hartman +21
We report the discovery of HAT-P-27b, an exoplanet transiting the moderately bright G8 dwarf star GSC 0333-00351 (V=12.214). The orbital period is 3.039586 +/- 0.000012 d, the refe…
Refined stellar, orbital and planetary parameters of the eccentric HAT-P-2 planetary system
András Pál, Gáspár Á. Bakos, Guillermo Torres +10
We present refined parameters for the extrasolar planetary system HAT-P-2 (also known as HD 147506), based on new radial velocity and photometric data. HAT-P-2b is a transiting ext…
The Jupiter Twin HD 154345b
J. T. Wright, G. W. Marcy, R. P. Butler +4
We announce the discovery of a twin of Jupiter orbiting the slightly metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -0.1) nearby (d = 18 pc) G8 dwarf HD 154345. This planet has a minimum mass of 0.95 Jupite…
