Toward the Detection of Transiting Hot Earths and Hot Neptunes in Open Clusters
Joshua Pepper, B. Scott Gaudi
Radial velocity searches for extrasolar planets have recently detected several very low mass (7-20M_Earth) planets in close orbits with periods <10 days. We consider the prospects…
Prospects for the Detection of Earth-Mass Planets
Andrew Gould, B. Scott Gaudi, Cheongho Han
We compare potential state-of-the-art experiments for detecting Earth-mass planets around main-sequence stars using radial velocities, transits, astrometry, and microlensing. For c…
Microlensing of Elliptical Sources by Fold Caustics
B. Scott Gaudi, Zoltan Haiman
We consider microlensing of an elliptical source crossing a fold caustic. We derive a simple expression for the light curve of a source with uniform surface brightness that is accu…
Extremely Close-In Giant Planets from Tidal Capture
B. Scott Gaudi
Planets that form around stars born in dense stellar environments are subject to dynamical perturbations from other stars in the system. These perturbations will strip outer planet…
Survey for Transiting Extrasolar Planets in Stellar Systems (STEPSS): The Frequency of Planets in NGC 1245
Christopher J. Burke, D. L. DePoy, B. Scott Gaudi +2
We present first results from the Survey for Transiting Extrasolar Planets in Stellar Systems (STEPSS). Our goal is to assess the frequency of close-in extrasolar planets around ma…
Microlensing Constraints on Low-Mass Companions
B. Scott Gaudi
Microlensing is sensitive to binary, brown dwarf, and planetary companions to normal stars in the Galactic bulge with separations between about 1-10 AU. The accurate, densely-sampl…
