M dwarf stars in the light of (future) exoplanet searches
B. Rojas-Ayala, E. J. Hilton, A. W. Mann +8
We present a brief overview of a splinter session on M dwarf stars as planet hosts that was organized as part of the Cool Stars 17 conference. The session was devoted to reviewing…
GJ 1214b revised. Improved trigonometric parallax, stellar parameters, orbital solution, and bulk properties for the super-Earth GJ 1214b
Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Bárbara Rojas-Ayala, Alan P. Boss +2
GJ 1214 is orbited by a transiting super-Earth-mass planet. It is a primary target for ongoing efforts to understand the emerging population of super-Earth-mass planets around M dw…
Stellar Diameters and Temperatures II. Main Sequence K & M Stars
Tabetha S. Boyajian, Kaspar von Braun, Gerard van Belle +21
We present interferometric diameter measurements of 21 K- and M- dwarfs made with the CHARA Array. This sample is enhanced by literature radii measurements to form a data set of 33…
A Spectroscopic Catalog of the Brightest (J<9) M Dwarfs in the Northern Sky
Sebastien Lepine, Eric J. Hilton, Andrew W. Mann +4
We present a spectroscopic catalog of the 1,564 brightest (J<9) M dwarf candidates in the northern sky, as selected from the SUPERBLINK proper motion catalog. Observations confirm…
Characterizing the Cool KOIs III. KOI-961: A Small Star with Large Proper Motion and Three Small Planets
Philip S. Muirhead, John Asher Johnson, Kevin Apps +21
We present the characterization of the star KOI 961, an M dwarf with transit signals indicative of three short-period exoplanets, originally discovered by the Kepler Mission. We pr…
