EarthFinder Probe Mission Concept Study: Characterizing nearby stellar exoplanet systems with Earth-mass analogs for future direct imaging
Peter Plavchan, Gautam Vasisht, Chas Beichman +52
EarthFinder is a NASA Astrophysics Probe mission concept selected for study as input to the 2020 Astrophysics National Academies Decadal Survey. The EarthFinder concept is based on…
Retired A Stars and Their Companions VIII: 15 New Planetary Signals Around Subgiants and Transit Parameters for California Planet Search Planets with Subgiant Hosts
Jacob K. Luhn, Fabienne A. Bastien, Jason T. Wright +3
We present the discovery of 7 new planets and 8 planet candidates around subgiant stars, as additions to the known sample of planets around "retired A stars" (Johnson et al. 2006).…
Asteroseismology and Gaia: Testing Scaling Relations Using 2200 Kepler Stars with TGAS Parallaxes
Daniel Huber, Joel Zinn, Mathias Bojsen-Hansen +17
We present a comparison of parallaxes and radii from asteroseismology and Gaia DR1 (TGAS) for 2200 Kepler stars spanning from the main sequence to the red giant branch. We show tha…
The APOGEE Spectroscopic Survey of Kepler Planet Hosts: Feasibility, Efficiency, and First Results
Scott W. Fleming, Suvrath Mahadevan, Rohit Deshpande +33
The Kepler mission has yielded a large number of planet candidates from among the Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), but spectroscopic follow-up of these relatively faint stars is…
Kepler-62: A five-planet system with planets of 1.4 and 1.6 Earth radii in the Habitable Zone
W. J. Borucki, E. Agol, F. Fressin +62
We present the detection of five planets -- Kepler-62b, c, d, e, and f -- of size 1.31, 0.54, 1.95, 1.61 and 1.41 Earth radii, orbiting a K2V star at periods of 5.7, 12.4, 18.2, 12…
Young Stars in the Time Domain: A Cool Stars 16 Splinter Summary
Kevin R. Covey, Peter Plavchan, Fabienne Bastien +6
Variability is a defining characteristic of young stellar systems, and optical variability has been heavily studied to select and characterize the photospheric properties of young…
