A Search for the Transit of HD 168443b: Improved Orbital Parameters and Photometry
Genady Pilyavsky, Suvrath Mahadevan, Stephen R. Kane +13
The discovery of transiting planets around bright stars holds the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of planetary atmospheres. In this work we present the search for tr…
TERMS Photometry of Known Transiting Exoplanets
Diana Dragomir, Stephen R. Kane, Genady Pilyavsky +10
The Transit Ephemeris Refinement and Monitoring Survey (TERMS) conducts radial velocity and photometric monitoring of known exoplanets in order to refine planetary orbits and predi…
55 Cancri: Stellar Astrophysical Parameters, a Planet in the Habitable Zone, and Implications for the Radius of a Transiting Super-Earth
Kaspar von Braun, Tabetha S. Boyajian, Theo A. ten Brummelaar +14
The bright star 55 Cancri is known to host five planets, including a transiting super-Earth. The study presented here yields directly determined values for 55 Cnc's stellar astroph…
The Palomar Transient Factory Orion Project: Eclipsing Binaries and Young Stellar Objects
Julian C. van Eyken, David R. Ciardi, Luisa M. Rebull +25
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) Orion project is an experiment within the broader PTF survey, a systematic automated exploration of the sky for optical transients. Taking advan…
Improved Orbital Parameters and Transit Monitoring for HD 156846b
Stephen R. Kane, Andrew W. Howard, Genady Pilyavsky +10
HD 156846b is a Jovian planet in a highly eccentric orbit (e = 0.85) with a period of 359.55 days. The pericenter passage at a distance of 0.16 AU is nearly aligned to our line of…
The Burrell-Optical-Kepler-Survey (BOKS) I: Survey Description and Initial Results
John J. Feldmeier, Steve B. Howell, William Sherry +9
We present the initial results of a 40 night contiguous ground-based campaign of time series photometric observations of a 1.39 sq. deg field located within the NASA Kepler mission…
Astrophysical Parameters and Habitable Zone of the Exoplanet Hosting Star GJ 581
Kaspar von Braun, Tabetha S. Boyajian, Stephen R. Kane +18
GJ 581 is an M dwarf host of a multiplanet system. We use long-baseline interferometric measurements from the CHARA Array, coupled with trigonometric parallax information, to direc…
