Unique Science from a Coordinated LSST-WFIRST Survey of the Galactic Bulge
R. A. Street, M. B. Lund, M. Donachie +19
NASA's WFIRST mission will perform a wide-field, NIR survey of the Galactic Bulge to search for exoplanets via the microlensing techniques. As the mission is due to launch in the m…
A Higher Cadence Subsurvey Located in the Galactic Plane
Michael B. Lund, Keivan G. Stassun, Jay Farihi +4
Presently, the Galactic plane receives relatively few observations compared to most of the LSST footprint. While this may address static science, the plane will also represent the…
A Cadence to Reduce Aliasing in LSST
Keaton J. Bell, Kelly M. Hambleton, Michael B. Lund +1
Regular sampling in the time domain results in aliasing in the frequency domain that complicates the accurate determination of the periods of astrophysical variables. We propose to…
The Diverse Science Return from a Wide-Area Survey of the Galactic Plane
R. A. Street, M. B. Lund, S. Khakpash +19
The overwhelming majority of objects visible to LSST lie within the Galactic Plane. Though many previous surveys have avoided this region for fear of stellar crowding, LSST's spati…
Constraining the period of the ringed secondary companion to the young star J1407 with photographic plates
R. T. Mentel, M. A. Kenworthy, D. A. Cameron +13
Context. The 16 Myr old star 1SWASP J140747.93-394542.6 (V1400 Cen) underwent a series of complex eclipses in May 2007, interpreted as the transit of a giant Hill sphere filling de…
Transiting Planets with LSST IV: Detecting Planets around White Dwarfs
Michael B. Lund, Joshua A. Pepper, Avi Shporer +1
Previous work has demonstrated that the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) has the capability to detect transiting planets around main sequence stars in relatively short ( 2…
A Discrete Set of Possible Transit Ephemerides for Two Long Period Gas Giants Orbiting HIP 41378
Juliette C. Becker, Andrew Vanderburg, Joseph E. Rodriguez +22
In 2015, K2 observations of the bright (V = 8.9, K = 7.7) star HIP 41378 revealed a rich system of at least five transiting exoplanets, ranging in size from super-Earths to gas gia…
Precovery of TESS Single Transits with KELT
Xinyu Yao, Joshua Pepper, B. Scott Gaudi +12
During the TESS prime mission, 74% of the sky area will only have an observational baseline of 27 days. For planets with orbital periods longer than 13.5 days, TESS can only captur…
Independent Discovery of a Sub-Earth in the Habitable Zone Around a Very Close Solar-Mass Star
Michael B. Lund, Robert J. Siverd, Ponder Stibbons
With the wealth of planets that have been discovered over the past 20 years, the field can broadly be divided into two regimes. For understanding broad occurrence and format…
KELT-22Ab: A Massive Hot Jupiter Transiting a Near Solar Twin
Jonathan Labadie-Bartz, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Keivan G. Stassun +58
We present the discovery of KELT-22Ab, a hot Jupiter from the KELT-South survey. KELT-22Ab transits the moderately bright () Sun-like G2V star TYC 7518-468-1. The plane…
The KELT Follow-Up Network and Transit False Positive Catalog: Pre-vetted False Positives for TESS
Karen A. Collins, Kevin I. Collins, Joshua Pepper +108
The Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) project has been conducting a photometric survey for transiting planets orbiting bright stars for over ten years. The KELT images h…
KELT-21b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting the Rapidly-Rotating Metal-Poor Late-A Primary of a Likely Hierarchical Triple System
Marshall C. Johnson, Joseph E. Rodriguez, George Zhou +65
We present the discovery of KELT-21b, a hot Jupiter transiting the A8V star HD 332124. The planet has an orbital period of days and a radius of $…
