A Uniform Determination of the Bulk Metallicities and Alpha Enrichments of Confirmed Exoplanet Systems with TRES
Romy RodrÃguez MartÃnez, Emily K. Pass, Phillip A. Cargile +4
We present a uniform spectroscopic characterization of 625 F, G, and K stars hosting 859 confirmed exoplanets using high-resolution archival optical spectra from the Tillinghast Re…
The JWST Search for Earth-Luna Analogs: Upper Limits on Exomoons and Refined Ephemerides for TOI 700 d and e
Emily K. Pass, David Charbonneau, Andrew Vanderburg +1
While no conclusive detections of exomoons have been reported to date, planet formation theories predict that Luna-analog satellites should be a common outcome of the collisional d…
Radial and Rotational Velocities of a Volume-Complete Sample of M Dwarfs with Masses 0.1-0.3 Msun within 15 parsecs
Jennifer G. Winters, Emily K. Pass, David Charbonneau +7
We present the results from a five-year campaign to gather multi-epoch, high-resolution spectra of a volume-complete sample of 413 M dwarfs with masses 10-30% that of the Sun that…
Radio Burst from a Stellar Coronal Mass Ejection
J. R. Callingham, C. Tasse, R. Keers +15
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are massive expulsions of magnetised plasma from a star, and are the largest contributors to space weather in the Solar System. CMEs are theorized to…
Searching for Exoplanets Born Outside the Milky Way: VOYAGERS Survey Design
Robert Aloisi, Andrew Vanderburg, Melinda Soares-Furtado +44
Observations over the past few decades have found that planets are common around nearby stars in our Galaxy, but little is known about planets that formed outside the Milky Way. We…
Metallicities from High-Resolution TRES Spectra with uberMS: Performance Benchmarks and Literature Comparison
Emily K. Pass, Phillip A. Cargile, Victoria DiTomasso +7
As the field of exoplanetary astronomy has matured, demand has grown for precise stellar abundances to probe subtle correlations between stellar compositions and planetary demograp…
