Planetesimals Around Stars with TESS (PAST): I. Transient Dimming of a Binary Solar Analog at the End of the Planet Accretion Era
E. Gaidos, T. Jacobs, D. LaCourse +16
We report detection of quasi-periodic (1.5 day) dimming of HD 240779, the solar-mass primary in a 5" visual binary (also TIC 284730577), by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellit…
Discovery of a White Dwarf Companion to HD 159062
Lea A. Hirsch, David R. Ciardi, Andrew W. Howard +11
We report on the discovery of a white dwarf companion to the nearby late G dwarf star, HD 159062. The companion is detected in 14 years of precise radial velocity (RV) data, and in…
CKS VIII: Eccentricities of Kepler Planets and Tentative Evidence of a High Metallicity Preference for Small Eccentric Planets
Sean M. Mills, Andrew W. Howard, Erik A. Petigura +3
Characterizing the dependence of the orbital architectures and formation environments on the eccentricity distribution of planets is vital for understanding planet formation. In th…
Constraints on the Obliquities of Kepler Planet-Hosting Stars
Joshua N. Winn, Erik A. Petigura, Timothy D. Morton +8
Stars with hot Jupiters have obliquities ranging from 0-180 degrees, but relatively little is known about the obliquities of stars with smaller planets. Using data from the Califor…
Three's Company: An additional non-transiting super-Earth in the bright HD 3167 system, and masses for all three planets
Jessie L. Christiansen, Andrew Vanderburg, Jennifer Burt +55
HD 3167 is a bright (V = 8.9), nearby K0 star observed by the NASA K2 mission (EPIC 220383386), hosting two small, short-period transiting planets. Here we present the results of a…
Seeing double with K2: Testing re-inflation with two remarkably similar planets around red giant branch stars
Samuel K. Grunblatt, Daniel Huber, Eric Gaidos +15
Despite more than 20 years since the discovery of the first gas giant planet with an anomalously large radius, the mechanism for planet inflation remains unknown. Here, we report t…
