Looking for Very Short-Period Planets with Re-Purposed Kepler
Brian Jackson
A re-purposed Kepler mission could continue the search for nearly Earth-sized planets in very short-period (< 1 day) orbits. Recent surveys of the Kepler data already available hav…
Measurement of Spin-Orbit Misalignment and Nodal Precession for the Planet around Pre-Main-Sequence Star PTFO 8-8695 From Gravity Darkening
Jason W. Barnes, Julian C. van Eyken, Brian K. Jackson +2
PTFO 8-8695b represents the first transiting exoplanet candidate orbiting a pre-main-sequence star. We find that the unusual lightcurve shapes of PTFO 8-8695 can be explained by tr…
A Survey for Very Short-Period Planets in the Kepler Data
Brian Jackson, Christopher C. Stark, Elisabeth R. Adams +2
We conducted a search for very short-period transiting objects in the publicly available Kepler dataset. Our preliminary survey has revealed four planetary candidates, all with orb…
A Search for Exozodiacal Clouds with Kepler
Christopher C. Stark, Alan P. Boss, Alycia J. Weinberger +10
Planets embedded within dust disks may drive the formation of large scale clumpy dust structures by trapping dust into resonant orbits. Detection and subsequent modeling of the dus…
