Planet Four: Probing Springtime Winds on Mars by Mapping the Southern Polar CO Jet Deposits
K. -Michael Aye, Megan E. Schwamb, Ganna Portyankina +11
The springtime sublimation process of Mars' southern seasonal polar CO ice cap features dark fan-shaped deposits appearing on the top of the thawing ice sheet. The fan material…
Planet Hunters VII. Discovery of a New Low-Mass, Low-Density Planet (PH3 c) Orbiting Kepler-289 with Mass Measurements of Two Additional Planets (PH3 b and d)
Joseph R. Schmitt, Eric Agol, Katherine M. Deck +18
We report the discovery of one newly confirmed planet ( days, ) and mass determinations of two previously validated Kepler planets, Kepler-…
Planet Hunters. VI: An Independent Characterization of KOI-351 and Several Long Period Planet Candidates from the Kepler Archival Data
Joseph R. Schmitt, Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer +29
We report the discovery of 14 new transiting planet candidates in the Kepler field from the Planet Hunters citizen science program. None of these candidates overlapped with Kepler…
Planet Hunters. V. A Confirmed Jupiter-Size Planet in the Habitable Zone and 42 Planet Candidates from the Kepler Archive Data
Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer, Thomas Barclay +18
We report the latest Planet Hunter results, including PH2 b, a Jupiter-size (R_PL = 10.12 \pm 0.56 R_E) planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a solar-type star. PH2 b was elevat…
Planet Hunters: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet in a Quadruple Star System
Megan E. Schwamb, Jerome A. Orosz, Joshua A. Carter +17
We report the discovery and confirmation of a transiting circumbinary planet (PH1b) around KIC 4862625, an eclipsing binary in the Kepler field. The planet was discovered by volunt…
Planet Hunters: Assessing the Kepler Inventory of Short Period Planets
Megan E. Schwamb, Chris J. Lintott, Debra A. Fischer +7
We present the results from a search of data from the first 33.5 days of the Kepler science mission (Quarter 1) for exoplanet transits by the Planet Hunters citizen science project…
