Revised Stellar Properties of Kepler Targets for the Quarter 1-16 Transit Detection Run
Daniel Huber, Victor Silva Aguirre, Jaymie M. Matthews +19
We present revised properties for 196,468 stars observed by the NASA Kepler Mission and used in the analysis of Quarter 1-16 (Q1-Q16) data to detect and characterize transiting exo…
Spectro-Thermometry of M dwarfs and their candidate planets: too hot, too cool, or just right?
Andrew W. Mann, Eric Gaidos, Megan Ansdell
We use moderate-resolution spectra of nearby late K and M dwarf stars with parallaxes and interferometrically determined radii to refine their effective temperatures, luminosities,…
An Understanding of the Shoulder of Giants: Jovian Planets around Late K Dwarf Stars and the Trend with Stellar Mass
Eric Gaidos, Debra A. Fischer, Andrew W. Mann +1
Analyses of exoplanet statistics suggest a trend of giant planet occurrence with host star mass, a clue to how planets like Jupiter form. One missing piece of the puzzle is the occ…
Testing the Metal of Late-Type Kepler Planet Hosts with Iron-Clad Methods
Andrew W. Mann, Eric Gaidos, Adam Kraus +1
It has been shown that F, G, and early K dwarf hosts of Neptune-sized planets are not preferentially metal-rich. However, it is less clear whether the same holds for late K and M d…
Exoplanet Characterization by Proxy: a Transiting 2.15 R_Earth Planet Near the Habitable Zone of the Late K dwarf Kepler-61
Sarah Ballard, David Charbonneau, Francois Fressin +13
We present the validation and characterization of Kepler-61b: a 2.15 R_Earth planet orbiting near the inner edge of the habitable zone of a low-mass star. Our characterization of t…
