Stellar Diameters and Temperatures V. Eleven Newly Characterized Exoplanet Host Stars
Kaspar von Braun, Tabetha S. Boyajian, Gerard T. van Belle +17
We use near-infrared interferometric data coupled with trigonometric parallax values and spectral energy distribution fitting to directly determine stellar radii, effective tempera…
Solar System Moons as Analogs for Compact Exoplanetary Systems
Stephen R. Kane, Natalie R. Hinkel, Sean N. Raymond
The field of exoplanetary science has experienced a recent surge of new systems that is largely due to the precision photometry provided by the Kepler mission. The latest discoveri…
Kepler's Unparalleled Exploration of the Time Dimension
William Welsh, Steven Bloemen, Kyle Conroy +15
We show that the Kepler spacecraft in two-reaction wheel mode of operation is very well suited for the study of eclipsing binary star systems. Continued observations of the Kepler…
New Uses for the Kepler Telescope: A Survey of the Ecliptic Plane For Transiting Planets and Star Formation
Charles Beichman, David Ciardi, Rachel Akeson +8
With the loss of two reaction wheels, the period of Kepler's ultra-high precision photometric performance is at an end. Yet Kepler retains unique capabilities impossible to replica…
Interpretation of a Short-Term Anomaly in the Gravitational Microlensing Event MOA-2012-BLG-486
K. -H. Hwang, J. -Y. Choi, I. A. Bond +78
A planetary microlensing signal is generally characterized by a short-term perturbation to the standard single lensing light curve. A subset of binary-source events can produce per…
Habitability of Exomoons at the Hill or Tidal Locking Radius
Natalie R. Hinkel, Stephen R. Kane
Moons orbiting extrasolar planets are the next class of object to be observed and characterized for possible habitability. Like the host-planets to their host-star, exomoons have a…
