A Jovian planet in an eccentric 11.5 day orbit around HD1397 discovered by TESS
L. D. Nielsen, F. Bouchy, O. Turner +36
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite TESS has begun a new age of exoplanet discoveries around bright host stars. We present the discovery of HD 1397b (TOI-120.01), a giant pla…
KIC 9832227: Using Vulcan Data to Negate The 2022 Red Nova Merger Prediction
Quentin J Socia, William F Welsh, Donald R Short +5
KIC 9832227 is a contact binary whose 11 hr orbital period is rapidly changing. Based on the apparent exponential decay of its period, the two stars were predicted to merge in earl…
TESS Discovery of a Transiting Super-Earth in the Mensae System
Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer Burt, Andrew Vanderburg +45
We report the detection of a transiting planet around Mensae (HD 39091), using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The solar-type host star is unusually…
Direct measurement of the intra-pixel response function of Kepler Space Telescope's CCDs
Dmitry Vorobiev, Zoran Ninkov, Douglas Caldwell +1
Space missions designed for high precision photometric monitoring of stars often under-sample the point-spread function, with much of the light landing within a single pixel. Missi…
Kepler Data Validation I -- Architecture, Diagnostic Tests, and Data Products for Vetting Transiting Planet Candidates
Joseph D. Twicken, Joseph H. Catanzarite, Bruce D. Clarke +14
The Kepler Mission was designed to identify and characterize transiting planets in the Kepler Field of View and to determine their occurrence rates. Emphasis was placed on identifi…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Nancy Y. Kiang, Niki Parenteau +38
For the first time in human history, we will soon be able to apply the scientific method to the question "Are We Alone?" The rapid advance of exoplanet discovery, planetary systems…
