When Extrasolar Planets Transit Their Parent Stars
David Charbonneau, Timothy M. Brown, Adam Burrows +1
When extrasolar planets are observed to transit their parent stars, we are granted unprecedented access to their physical properties. It is only for transiting planets that we are…
A ~ 7.5 Earth-Mass Planet Orbiting the Nearby Star, GJ 876
E. J. Rivera, J. J. Lissauer, R. P. Butler +6
High precision, high cadence radial velocity monitoring over the past 8 years at the W. M. Keck Observatory reveals evidence for a third planet orbiting the nearby (4.69 pc) dM4 st…
A New Detached M Dwarf Eclipsing Binary
O. L. Creevey, G. F. Benedict, T. M. Brown +10
We describe a newly-discovered detached M-dwarf eclipsing binary system, the fourth such system known. This system was first observed by the TrES network during a long term photome…
The ELODIE survey for northern extra-solar planets II. A Jovian planet on a long-period orbit around GJ 777 A
D. Naef, M. Mayor, S. G. Korzennik +8
We present radial-velocity measurements obtained with the ELODIE and AFOE spectrographs for GJ 777 A (HD 190360), a metal-rich ([Fe/H]=0.25) nearby (d=15.9 pc) star in a stellar bi…
Possible Transiting Planet Candidates from the EXPLORE Project
G. Mallen-Ornelas, S. Seager, H. K. C. Yee +5
The EXPLORE Project is a series of searches for transiting extrasolar planets using large-format mosaic CCD cameras on 4-m class telescopes. Radial velocity follow-up is done on tr…
The Lyman-alpha forest of the QSO in the Hubble Deep Field South
S. Savaglio, H. C. Ferguson, T. M. Brown +8
The quasar in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDFS), J2233-606 (z=2.23) has been exhaustively observed by ground based telescopes and by the STIS spectrograph on board the Hubble Spac…
