Discovery of a young low-mass brown dwarf transiting a fast-rotating F-type star by the Galactic Plane eXoplanet (GPX) survey
P. Benni, A. Y. Burdanov, V. V. Krushinsky +64
We announce the discovery of GPX-1 b, a transiting brown dwarf with a mass of and a radius of , the first sub-stell…
The detection and characterisation of 54 massive companions with the SOPHIE spectrograph -- 7 new brown dwarfs and constraints on the BD desert
F. Kiefer, G. Hébrard, J. Sahlmann +35
Brown-dwarfs are substellar objects with masses intermediate between planets and stars within about 13-80Mjup. While isolated BDs are most likely produced by gravitational collapse…
Detection of Nitrogen gas in the Pictoris circumstellar disk
P. A. Wilson, R. Kerr, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +4
The debris disk surrounding Pictoris has a gas composition rich in carbon and oxygen, relative to solar abundances. Two possible scenarios have been proposed to explain this en…
HST hot-Jupiter transmission spectral survey: Haze in the atmosphere of WASP-6b
N. Nikolov, D. K. Sing, A. S. Burrows +14
We report Hubble Space Telescope (HST) optical to near-infrared transmission spectroscopy of the hot Jupiter WASP-6b, measured with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS)…
HST hot Jupiter Transmission Spectral Survey: A detection of Na and strong optical absorption in HAT-P-1b
N. Nikolov, D. K. Sing, F. Pont +16
We present an optical to near-infrared transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-1b, based on HST observations, covering the spectral regime from 0.29 to 1.027μm with STIS, wh…
The VAST Survey -- II. Orbital motion monitoring of A-type star multiples
Robert J. De Rosa, Jenny Patience, Arthur Vigan +11
As a part of our ongoing Volume-limited A-Star (VAST) adaptive optics survey, we have obtained observations of 26 binary systems with projected separations <100 AU, 13 of which hav…
A precise asteroseismic age and radius for the evolved Sun-like star KIC 11026764
T. S. Metcalfe, M. J. P. F. G. Monteiro, M. J. Thompson +55
The primary science goal of the Kepler Mission is to provide a census of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood, including the identification and characterization of habitable Earth-…
