Faint source star planetary microlensing: the discovery of the cold gas giant planet OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb
N. J. Rattenbury, D. P. Bennett, T. Sumi +85
We report the discovery of a planet --- OGLE-2014-BLG-0676Lb --- via gravitational microlensing. Observations for the lensing event were made by the MOA, OGLE, Wise, RoboNET/LCOGT,…
Detection of the atmosphere of the 1.6 Earth mass exoplanet GJ 1132b
John Southworth, Luigi Mancini, Nikku Madhusudhan +3
Detecting the atmospheres of low-mass low-temperature exoplanets is a high-priority goal on the path to ultimately detect biosignatures in the atmospheres of habitable exoplanets.…
No Conclusive Evidence for Transits of Proxima b in MOST photometry
David M. Kipping, Chris Cameron, Joel D. Hartman +21
The analysis of Proxima Centauri's radial velocities recently led Anglada-Escudé et al. (2016) to claim the presence of a low mass planet orbiting the Sun's nearest star once every…
WASP-86b and WASP-102b: super-dense versus bloated planets
F. Faedi, Y. Gómez Maqueo Chew, D. Pollacco +38
We report the discovery of two transiting planetary systems: a super dense, sub-Jupiter mass planet WASP-86b (\mpl\ = 0.82 0.06 \mj, \rpl\ = 0.63 0.01 \rj), and a bloat…
Orbital obliquities of transiting planets from starspot occultations
John Southworth, Luigi Mancini
When a planet passes in front of a starspot during a transit of its host star, it causes a small upward blip in the light curve. Modelling the transit with the starspot allows the…
197 Candidates and 104 Validated Planets in K2's First Five Fields
Ian J. M. Crossfield, David R. Ciardi, Erik A. Petigura +41
We present 197 planet candidates discovered using data from the first year of the NASA K2 mission (Campaigns 0-4), along with the results of an intensive program of photometric ana…
