Chemical Compositions of Red Giant Stars from Habitable Zone Planet Finder Spectroscopy
Christopher Sneden, Melike Afsar, Zeynep Bozkurt +15
We have used the Habitable Zone Planet Finder (HPF) to gather high resolution, high signal-to-noise near-infrared spectra of 13 field red horizontal-branch (RHB) stars, one open-cl…
Ghosts of NEID's Past
Shubham Kanodia, Joe P. Ninan, Andrew J. Monson +14
The NEID spectrograph is a R 120,000 resolution fiber-fed and highly stabilized spectrograph for extreme radial velocity (RV) precision. It is being commissioned at the 3.5…
Optical Frequency Comb Calibrated Near Infrared Solar Heterodyne Spectroscopy
Connor Fredrick, Freja Olsen, Ryan Terrien +3
We perform heterodyne spectroscopy at 1.56 micron with a tunable laser and thermal radiation from the Sun. The laser tuning is calibrated with a frequency comb, providing a simple…
The Habitable-zone Planet Finder Reveals A High Mass and a Low Obliquity for the Young Neptune K2-25b
Gudmundur Stefansson, Suvrath Mahadevan, Marissa Maney +27
Using radial-velocity data from the Habitable-zone Planet Finder, we have measured the mass of the Neptune-sized planet K2-25b, as well as the obliquity of its M4.5-dwarf host star…
A warm Jupiter transiting an M dwarf: A TESS single transit event confirmed with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder
Caleb I. Cañas, Gudmundur Stefansson, Shubham Kanodia +30
We confirm the planetary nature of a warm Jupiter transiting the early M dwarf TOI-1899, using a combination of available TESS photometry; high-precision, near-infrared spectroscop…
TOI-1728b: The Habitable-zone Planet Finder confirms a warm super Neptune orbiting an M dwarf host
Shubham Kanodia, Caleb I. Canas, Gudmundur Stefansson +23
We confirm the planetary nature of TOI-1728b using a combination of ground-based photometry, near-infrared Doppler velocimetry and spectroscopy with the Habitable-zone Planet Finde…
A Mini-Neptune and a Venus-Zone Planet in the Radius Valley Orbiting the Nearby M2-dwarf TOI-1266: Validation with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder
Gudmundur Stefansson, Ravi Kopparapu, Andrea Lin +26
We report on the validation of two planets orbiting the nearby (36pc) M2 dwarf TOI-1266 observed by the TESS mission. The inner planet is sub-Neptune-sized ($R=2.46 \pm 0.08 R_\opl…
Following the TraCS of exoplanets with Pan-Planets: Wendelstein-1b and Wendelstein-2b
Christian Obermeier, Jana Steuer, Hanna Kellermann +13
Hot Jupiters seem to get rarer with decreasing stellar mass. The goal of the Pan-Planets transit survey was the detection of such planets and a statistical characterization of thei…
Persistent starspot signals on M dwarfs: multi-wavelength Doppler observations with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder and Keck/HIRES
Paul Robertson, Gudmundur Stefansson, Suvrath Mahadevan +23
Young, rapidly-rotating M dwarfs exhibit prominent starspots, which create quasiperiodic signals in their photometric and Doppler spectroscopic measurements. The periodic Doppler s…
Frequency stability of the mode spectrum of broad bandwidth Fabry-Perot interferometers
Jeff Jennings, Ryan Terrien, Connor Fredrick +5
When illuminated by a white light source, the discrete resonances of a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FP) provide a broad bandwidth, comb-like spectrum useful for frequency calibratio…
The SDSS-HET Survey of Kepler Eclipsing Binaries. Description of the Survey and First Results
Suvrath Mahadevan, Chad F. Bender, Kelly Hambleton +9
The Kepler mission has provided a treasure trove of eclipsing binaries (EBs), observed at extremely high photometric precision, nearly continuously for several years. We are carryi…
Solar Contamination in Extreme Precision Radial Velocity Measurements: Deleterious Effects and Prospects for Mitigation
Arpita Roy, Sam Halverson, Suvrath Mahadevan +19
Solar contamination, due to moonlight and atmospheric scattering of sunlight, can cause systematic errors in stellar radial velocity (RV) measurements that significantly detract fr…
Stellar Characterization of M-dwarfs from the APOGEE Survey: A Calibrator Sample for the M-dwarf Metallicities
Diogo Souto, Katia Cunha, Verne V. Smith +18
We present spectroscopic determinations of the effective temperatures, surface gravities and metallicities for 21 M-dwarfs observed at high-resolution (R 22,500) in the \tex…
