The GJ1214 Super-Earth System: Stellar Variability, New Transits, and a Search for Additional Planets
Zachory K. Berta, David Charbonneau, Jacob Bean +5
The super-Earth GJ1214b transits a nearby M dwarf that exhibits 1% intrinsic variability in the near-infrared. Here, we analyze new observations to refine the physical properties o…
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…
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…
