The conjectured S-type retrograde planet in nu Octantis: more evidence including four years of iodine-cell radial velocities
D. J. Ramm, B. E. Nelson, M. Endl +6
We report 1212 radial-velocity (RV) measurements obtained in the years 2009-2013 using an iodine cell for the spectroscopic binary nu Octantis (K1III/IV). This system (a_bin~2.6 au…
Searching for Earth-mass planets around Centauri: precise radial velocities from contaminated spectra
Christoph Bergmann, Michael Endl, John B. Hearnshaw +2
This work is part of an ongoing project which aims to detect terrestrial planets in our neighbouring star system Centauri using the Doppler method. Owing to the small angular s…
The Mt John University Observatory Search For Earth-mass Planets In The Habitable Zone Of Alpha Centauri
M. Endl, C. Bergmann, J. Hearnshaw +6
The "holy grail" in planet hunting is the detection of an Earth-analog: a planet with similar mass as the Earth and an orbit inside the habitable zone. If we can find such an Earth…
Possibilities of life around Alpha Centauri B
Antolin Gonzalez, Rolando Cardenas, John Hearnshaw
We make a preliminary assessment on the habitability of potential rocky exoplanets around Alpha Centauri B. We use several indexes: the Earth Similarity Index, a mathematical model…
A study of non-Keplerian velocities in observations of spectroscopic binary stars
John B. Hearnshaw, Siramas Komonjinda, Jovan Skuljan +1
This paper presents an orbital analysis of six southern single-lined spectroscopic binary systems. The systems selected were shown to have circular or nearly circular orbits (e < 0…
Microlensig Binaries with Candidate Brown Dwarf Companions
I. -G. Shin, C. Han, A. Gould +152
Brown dwarfs are important objects because they may provide a missing link between stars and planets, two populations that have dramatically different formation history. In this pa…
