The Kepler-454 System: A Small, Not-rocky Inner Planet, a Jovian World, and a Distant Companion
Sara Gettel, David Charbonneau, Courtney D. Dressing +47
Kepler-454 (KOI-273) is a relatively bright (V = 11.69 mag), Sun-like starthat hosts a transiting planet candidate in a 10.6 d orbit. From spectroscopy, we estimate the stellar tem…
The Mass-Metallicity Relation for Giant Planets
Daniel P. Thorngren, Jonathan J. Fortney, Ruth A. Murray-Clay +1
Exoplanet discoveries of recent years have provided a great deal of new data for studying the bulk compositions of giant planets. Here we identify 47 transiting giant planets ($20…
Two Transiting Low Density Sub-Saturns from K2
Erik A. Petigura, Andrew W. Howard, Eric D. Lopez +11
We report the discovery and confirmation of two sub-Saturn planets orbiting a bright (V = 11.3), metal-rich ([Fe/H] = 0.42 0.04 dex) G3 dwarf in the K2 Campaign 2 field. The…
Re-inflated Warm Jupiters Around Red Giants
Eric D. Lopez, Jonathan J. Fortney
Since the discovery of the first transiting hot Jupiters, models have sought to explain the anomalously large radii of highly irradiated gas giants. We now know that the size of ho…
Disc fragmentation rarely forms planetary-mass objects
Ken Rice, Eric Lopez, Duncan Forgan +1
It is now reasonably clear that disc fragmentation can only operate in the outer parts of protostellar discs ( au). It is also expected that any object that forms via disc…
The HARPS-N Rocky Planet Search I. HD219134b: A transiting rocky planet in a multi-planet system at 6.5 pc from the Sun
F. Motalebi, S. Udry, M. Gillon +36
We present here the detection of a system of four low-mass planets around the bright (V=5.5) and close-by (6.5 pc) star HD219134. This is the first result of the Rocky Planet Searc…
