CoRoT 223992193: A new, low-mass, pre-main sequence eclipsing binary with evidence of a circumbinary disk
Edward Gillen, Suzanne Aigrain, Amy McQuillan +12
We present the discovery of CoRoT 223992193, a double-lined, detached eclipsing binary, comprising two pre-main sequence M dwarfs, discovered by the CoRoT space mission during a 23…
Monitoring young associations and open clusters with Kepler in two-wheel mode
S. Aigrain, S. Alencar, R. Angus +14
We outline a proposal to use the Kepler spacecraft in two-wheel mode to monitor a handful of young associations and open clusters, for a few weeks each. Judging from the experience…
Astrophysically robust systematics removal using variational inference: application to the first month of Kepler data
S. Roberts, A. McQuillan, S. Reece +1
Space-based transit search missions such as Kepler are collecting large numbers of stellar light curves of unprecedented photometric precision and time coverage. However, before th…
Stellar Rotation Periods of the Kepler Objects of Interest: A Dearth of Close-in Planets around Fast Rotators
Amy McQuillan, Tsevi Mazeh, Suzanne Aigrain
We present a large sample of stellar rotation periods for Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), based on three years of public Kepler data. These were measured by detecting periodic p…
Kepler-77b: a very low albedo, Saturn-mass transiting planet around a metal-rich solar-like star
D. Gandolfi, H. Parviainen, M. Fridlund +18
We report the discovery of Kepler-77b (alias KOI-127.01), a Saturn-mass transiting planet in a 3.6-day orbit around a metal-rich solar-like star. We combined the publicly available…
Measuring the rotation period distribution of field M-dwarfs with Kepler
Amy McQuillan, Suzanne Aigrain, Tsevi Mazeh
We have analysed 10 months of public data from the Kepler space mission to measure rotation periods of main-sequence stars with masses between 0.3 and 0.55 M_sun. To derive the rot…
