The Kepler-454 System: A Small, Not-rocky Inner Planet, a Jovian World, and a Distant Companion

Sara Gettel, David Charbonneau, Courtney D. Dressing +47

Kepler-454 (KOI-273) is a relatively bright (V = 11.69 mag), Sun-like starthat hosts a transiting planet candidate in a 10.6 d orbit. From spectroscopy, we estimate the stellar tem…

The HARPS-N Rocky Planet Search I. HD219134b: A transiting rocky planet in a multi-planet system at 6.5 pc from the Sun

F. Motalebi, S. Udry, M. Gillon +36

We present here the detection of a system of four low-mass planets around the bright (V=5.5) and close-by (6.5 pc) star HD219134. This is the first result of the Rocky Planet Searc…

The Mass of Kepler-93b and The Composition of Terrestrial Planets

Courtney D. Dressing, David Charbonneau, Xavier Dumusque +32

Kepler-93b is a 1.478 +/- 0.019 Earth radius planet with a 4.7 day period around a bright (V=10.2), astroseismically-characterized host star with a mass of 0.911+/-0.033 solar mass…

Characterization of the Kepler-101 planetary system with HARPS-N. A hot super-Neptune with an Earth-sized low-mass companion

A. S. Bonomo, A. Sozzetti, C. Lovis +32

We report on the characterization of the Kepler-101 planetary system, thanks to a combined DE-MCMC analysis of Kepler data and forty radial velocities obtained with the HARPS-N spe…

The Kepler-10 planetary system revisited by HARPS-N: A hot rocky world and a solid Neptune-mass planet

Xavier Dumusque, Aldo S. Bonomo, Raphaelle D. Haywood +31

Kepler-10b was the first rocky planet detected by the Kepler satellite and con- firmed with radial velocity follow-up observations from Keck-HIRES. The mass of the planet was measu…

An Earth-sized planet with an Earth-like density

Francesco Pepe, Andrew Collier Cameron, David W. Latham +31

Kepler-78 (KIC 8435766) was identified by Sanchis-Ojeda et al. (2013) as harbouring a transiting planet of 1.16 times the size of the Earth and an orbital period of only 8.5 hours.…

Planets Around the K-Giants BD+20 274 and HD 219415

S. Gettel, A. Wolszczan, A. Niedzielski +4

We present the discovery of planet-mass companions to two giant stars by the ongoing Penn State- Toruń Planet Search (PTPS) conducted with the 9.2 m Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The les…

Substellar-Mass Companions to the K-Giants HD 240237, BD +48 738 and HD 96127

S. Gettel, A. Wolszczan, A. Niedzielski +4

We present the discovery of substellar-mass companions to three giant stars by the ongoing Penn State-Toruń Planet Search (PTPS) conducted with the 9.2 m Hobby-Eberly Telescope. Th…

Non-Detection of the Putative Substellar Companion to HD 149382

Jackson M. Norris, Jason T. Wright, Richard A. Wade +2

It has been argued that a substellar companion may significantly influence the evolution of the progenitors of sdB stars. Recently, the bright sdB star HD 149382 has been claimed t…

A Catalog of 1022 Bright Contact Binary Stars

S. J. Gettel, M. T. Geske, T. A. McKay

In this work we describe a large new sample of contact binary stars extracted in a uniform manner from sky patrol data taken by the ROTSE-I telescope. Extensive ROTSE-I light curve…
