The Mt John University Observatory Search For Earth-mass Planets In The Habitable Zone Of Alpha Centauri
M. Endl, C. Bergmann, J. Hearnshaw +6
The "holy grail" in planet hunting is the detection of an Earth-analog: a planet with similar mass as the Earth and an orbit inside the habitable zone. If we can find such an Earth…
Revisiting rho 1 Cancri e: A New Mass Determination Of The Transiting super-Earth
Michael Endl, Paul Robertson, William D. Cochran +6
We present a mass determination for the transiting super-Earth rho 1 Cancri e based on nearly 700 precise radial velocity (RV) measurements. This extensive RV data set consists of…
A Second Giant Planet in 3:2 Mean-Motion Resonance in the HD 204313 System
Paul Robertson, J. Horner, Robert A. Wittenmyer +7
We present 8 years of high-precision radial velocity (RV) data for HD 204313 from the 2.7 m Harlan J. Smith Telescope at McDonald Observatory. The star is known to have a giant pla…
The McDonald Observatory Planet Search: New Long-Period Giant Planets, and Two Interacting Jupiters in the HD 155358 System
Paul Robertson, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran +7
We present high-precision radial velocity (RV) observations of four solar-type (F7-G5) stars - HD 79498, HD 155358, HD 197037, and HD 220773 - taken as part of the McDonald Observa…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission. XII. CoRoT-12b: a short-period low-density planet transiting a solar analog star
M. Gillon, A. Hatzes, Sz. Csizmadia +50
We report the discovery by the CoRoT satellite of a new transiting giant planet in a 2.83 days orbit about a V=15.5 solar analog star (M_* = 1.08 +- 0.08 M_sun, R_* = 1.1 +- 0.1 R_…
The spin-orbit angle of the transiting hot jupiter CoRoT-1b
F. Pont, M. Endl, W. D. Cochran +14
We measure the angle between the planetary orbit and the stellar rotation axis in the transiting planetary system CoRoT-1, with new HIRES/Keck and FORS/VLT high-accuracy photometry…
