On the Detectability of Volcanic Exo-Ios That May Fuel Auroras on Super-Jupiters

Brooke Kotten, Mary Anne Limbach, Johanna M. Vos +12

Studies suggest Jupiter's aurorae are supplied with plasma from volcanic outflows on the planet's innermost moon, Io. Repeating bursts of radio emission thought to trace massively…

Exoplanet Magnetic Fields

David A. Brain, Melodie M. Kao, Joseph G. O'Rourke

Planetary magnetic fields are important indicators of planetary processes and evolution, from a planet's outer core to its surface (if it possesses one) to its atmosphere and near-…

Resolved imaging of an extrasolar radiation belt around an ultracool dwarf

Melodie M. Kao, Amy J. Mioduszewski, Jackie Villadsen +1

Radiation belts are present in all large-scale Solar System planetary magnetospheres: Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These persistent equatorial zones of trapped high…

Friends of Hot Jupiters I: A Radial Velocity Search for Massive, Long-Period Companions to Close-In Gas Giant Planets

Heather A. Knutson, Benjamin J. Fulton, Benjamin T. Montet +10

In this paper we search for distant massive companions to known transiting gas giant planets that may have influenced the dynamical evolution of these systems. We present new radia…

Orbital Phase Variations of the Eccentric Giant Planet HAT-P-2b

Nikole K. Lewis, Heather A. Knutson, Adam P. Showman +20

We present the first secondary eclipse and phase curve observations for the highly eccentric hot Jupiter HAT-P-2b in the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm bands of the Spitzer Space Telesc…
