Stellar Parameters for HD 69830, a Nearby Star with Three Neptune Mass Planets and an Asteroid Belt
Angelle Tanner, Tabetha S. Boyajian, Kaspar von Braun +9
We used the CHARA Array to directly measure the angular diameter of HD 69830, home to three Neptune mass planets and an asteroid belt. Our measurement of 0.674+/-0.014 milli-arcsec…
Stellar Diameters and Temperatures VI. High angular resolution measurements of the transiting exoplanet host stars HD 189733 and HD 209458 and implications for models of cool dwarfs
Tabetha Boyajian, Kaspar von Braun, Gregory A. Feiden +24
We present direct radii measurements of the well-known transiting exoplanet host stars HD 189733 and HD 209458 using the CHARA Array interferometer. We find the limb-darkened angul…
Touchstone Stars: Highlights from the Cool Stars 18 Splinter Session
Andrew W. Mann, Adam Kraus, Tabetha Boyajian +11
We present a summary of the splinter session on "touchstone stars" -- stars with directly measured parameters -- that was organized as part of the Cool Stars 18 conference. We disc…
Benchmark stars for Gaia: fundamental properties of the Population II star HD140283 from interferometric, spectroscopic and photometric data
O. Creevey, F. Thévenin, P. Berio +17
We determined the fundamental properties of HD 140283 by obtaining new interferometric and spectroscopic measurements and combining them with photometry from the literature. The in…
Characterizing the Parents: Exoplanets Around Cool Stars
Kaspar von Braun, Tabetha S. Boyajian, Gerard T. van Belle +2
The large majority of stars in the Milky Way are late-type dwarfs, and the frequency of low-mass exoplanets in orbits around these late-type dwarfs appears to be high. In order to…
Direct Imaging of Planet Transit Events
Gerard T. van Belle, Kaspar von Braun, Tabetha Boyajian +1
Exoplanet transit events are attractive targets for the ultrahigh-resolution capabilities afforded by optical interferometers. The intersection of two developments in astronomy ena…
