How to Characterize the Atmosphere of a Transiting Exoplanet
Drake Deming, Dana Louie, Holly Sheets
This tutorial is an introduction to techniques used to characterize the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets. We intend it to be a useful guide for the undergraduate, graduate stud…
A Search for Refraction in Kepler Photometry of Gas Giants
Holly Sheets, Laurent Jacob, Nicolas B. Cowan +1
Refraction can lead to a brightening just before ingress and just after egress of a transit, as light passes through the exoplanet's atmosphere and is refracted into our line of si…
New or Improved Orbital Periods of Cataclysmic Binaries
John R. Thorstensen, Frederick A. Ringwald, Cynthia J. Taylor +5
We present a table of 58 cataclysmic binary orbital periods determined using data from MDM Observatory. Most are heretofore unpublished; some are refinements of previously publishe…
Average Albedos of Close-in Super-Earths and Neptunes from Statistical Analysis of Long Cadence Kepler Secondary Eclipse Data
Holly Sheets, Drake Deming
We present the results of our work to determine the average albedo for small, close-in planets in the {\it Kepler} candidate catalog. We have adapted our method of averaging short…
Statistical Eclipses of Close-in Kepler Sub-Saturns
Holly A. Sheets, Drake Deming
We present a method to detect small atmospheric signals in Kepler's planet candidate light curves by averaging light curves for multiple candidates with similar orbital and physica…
Dusty OB Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud - I: Optical Spectroscopy Reveals Predominantly Main-Sequence OB Stars
Holly A. Sheets, Alberto D. Bolatto, Jacco Th. van Loon +4
We present the results of optical spectroscopic follow-up of 125 candidate main sequence OB stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that were originally identified in the S3MC in…
