Kepler-424 b: A "Lonely" Hot Jupiter That Found A Companion

Michael Endl, Douglas A. Caldwell, Thomas Barclay +13

Hot Jupiter systems provide unique observational constraints for migration models in multiple systems and binaries. We report on the discovery of the Kepler-424 (KOI-214) two-plane…

Precision asteroseismology of the pulsating white dwarf GD 1212 using a two-wheel-controlled Kepler spacecraft

J. J. Hermes, S. Charpinet, Thomas Barclay +14

We present a preliminary analysis of the cool pulsating white dwarf GD 1212, enabled by more than 11.5 days of space-based photometry obtained during an engineering test of the two…
