Metal Polluted White Dwarfs with 21 μm IR excesses from JWST/MIRI: Planets or Dust?
John H. Debes, Sabrina Poulsen, Ashley Messier +13
White dwarfs with metal pollution are caused by the accretion of rocky dust from tidally disrupted minor bodies and are signposts for planetary systems. These minor bodies are pert…
JWST Directly Images Giant Planet Candidates Around Two Metal-Polluted White Dwarf Stars
Susan E. Mullally, John Debes, Misty Cracraft +9
We report the discovery of two directly imaged, giant planet candidates orbiting the metal-rich DAZ white dwarfs WD 1202-232 and WD 2105-82. JWST's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) d…
A MIRI Search for Planets and Dust Around WD 2149+02
Sabrina Poulsen, John Debes, Misty Cracraft +9
The launch of JWST has ushered in a new era of high precision infrared astronomy, allowing us to probe nearby white dwarfs for cold dust, exoplanets, and tidally heated exomoons. W…
The transmission spectrum of the potentially rocky planet L 98-59 c
Thomas Barclay, Kyle B. Sheppard, Natasha Latouf +32
We present observations of the 1.35+/-0.07 Earth-radius planet L 98-59 c, collected using Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope. L 98-59 is a nearby (10.6 pc), bright (…
Kepler K2 Campaign 9: II. First space-based discovery of an exoplanet using microlensing
D. Specht, R. Poleski, M. T. Penny +83
We present K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb, a densely sampled, planetary binary caustic-crossing microlensing event found from a blind search of data gathered from Campaign 9 of the Kepler K2 m…
The Occurrence of Rocky Habitable Zone Planets Around Solar-Like Stars from Kepler Data
Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ravi K. Kopparapu +79
We present occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZ) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar prop…
