Metrics for Optimizing Searches for Tidally Decaying Exoplanets

Brian Jackson, Elisabeth R. Adams, Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler

Tidal interactions between short-period exoplanets and their host stars drive orbital decay and have likely led to engulfment of planets by their stars. Precise transit timing surv…

How Sublimation Delays the Onset of Dusty Debris Disk Formation Around White Dwarf Stars

Jordan K. Steckloff, John Debes, Amy Steele +4

Although numerous white dwarf stars host dusty debris disks, the temperature distribution of these stars differs significantly from the white dwarf population as a whole. Dusty deb…

Ultra Short Period Planets in K2 III: Neighbors are Common with 13 New Multi-Planet Systems and 10 Newly Validated Planets in Campaigns 0-8, 10

Elisabeth R. Adams, Brian Jackson, Samantha Johnson +14

Using the EVEREST photometry pipeline, we have identified 74 candidate ultra-short-period planets (orbital period P<1 d) in the first half of the K2 data (Campaigns 0-8 and 10). Of…

Variability in the Atmosphere of the Hot Jupiter Kepler-76b

Brian Jackson, Elisabeth Adams, Wesley Sandidge +2

Phase curves and secondary eclipses of gaseous exoplanets are diagnostic of atmospheric composition and meteorology, and the long observational baseline and high photometric precis…

Investigating Planet Formation and Evolutionary Processes with Short-Period Exoplanets

Brian Jackson, Elisabeth Adams, René Heller +1

From wispy gas giants on the verge of disruption to tiny rocky bodies already falling apart, short-period exoplanets pose a severe puzzle to theories of planet formation and orbita…

Ultra Short Period Planets in K2 with companions: a double transiting system for EPIC 220674823

Elisabeth R. Adams, Brian Jackson, Michael Endl +10

Two transiting planets have been identified orbiting K2 target EPIC 220674823. One object is an ultra-short-period planet (USP) with a period of just 0.57 days (13.7 hours), while…
