Large amplitude periodic outbursts and long period variables in the VVV VIRAC2- database
Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, L. C. Smith +13
The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey obtained near-infrared photometry toward the Galactic bulge and the southern disc plane for a decade (2010 - 2019). We designed a…
The Mass of KOI-94d and a Relation for Planet Radius, Mass, and Incident Flux
Lauren M. Weiss, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Jason F. Rowe +15
We measure the mass of a modestly irradiated giant planet, KOI-94d. We wish to determine whether this planet, which is in a 22-day orbit and receives 2700 times as much incident fl…
How Thermal Evolution and Mass Loss Sculpt Populations of Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes: Application to the Kepler-11 System and Beyond
Eric D. Lopez, Jonathan J. Fortney, Neil K. Miller
We use models of thermal evolution and XUV-driven mass loss to explore the composition and history of low-mass low-density transiting planets. We investigate the Kepler-11 system i…
Kepler 18-b, c, and d: A System Of Three Planets Confirmed by Transit Timing Variations, Lightcurve Validation, Spitzer Photometry and Radial Velocity Measurements
William D. Cochran, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Guillermo Torres +51
We report the detection of three transiting planets around a Sunlike star, which we designate Kepler-18. The transit signals were detected in photometric data from the Kepler satel…
Discovery and Atmospheric Characterization of Giant Planet Kepler-12b: An Inflated Radius Outlier
Jonathan J. Fortney, Brice-Olivier Demory, Jean-Michel Desert +34
We report the discovery of planet Kepler-12b (KOI-20), which at 1.695\pm0.030 RJ is among the handful of planets with super-inflated radii above 1.65 RJ. Orbiting its slightly evol…
A Closely-Packed System of Low-Mass, Low-Density Planets Transiting Kepler-11
Jack J. Lissauer, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric B. Ford +36
When an extrasolar planet passes in front of its star (transits), its radius can be measured from the decrease in starlight and its orbital period from the time between transits. M…
