Dissecting the Quadruple Binary Hyad vA 351 -- Masses for three M Dwarfs and a White Dwarf
G. Fritz Benedict, Otto G. Franz, Elliott P. Horch +8
We extend results first announced by Franz et al. (1998), that identified vA 351 = H346 in the Hyades as a multiple star system containing a white dwarf. With Hubble Space Telescop…
A decade of radial-velocity monitoring of Vega and new limits on the presence of planets
Spencer A. Hurt, Samuel N. Quinn, David W. Latham +7
We present an analysis of 1524 spectra of Vega spanning 10 years, in which we search for periodic radial velocity variations. A signal with a periodicity of 0.676 days and a semi-a…
Discovery and Precise Characterization by the MEarth Project of LP 661-13, an Eclipsing Binary Consisting of Two Fully Convective Low-mass Stars
Jason A Dittmann, Jonathan M Irwin, David Charbonneau +7
We report the detection of stellar eclipses in the LP 661-13 system. We present the discovery and characterization of this system, including high resolution spectroscopic radial ve…
KIC 9246715: The Double Red Giant Eclipsing Binary With Odd Oscillations
Meredith L. Rawls, Patrick Gaulme, Jean McKeever +7
We combine Kepler photometry with ground-based spectra to present a comprehensive dynamical model of the double red giant eclipsing binary KIC 9246715. While the two stars are very…
Asteroseismology of solar-type stars with K2
W. J. Chaplin, M. N. Lund, R. Handberg +44
We present the first detections by the NASA K2 Mission of oscillations in solar-type stars, using short-cadence data collected during K2 Campaign\,1 (C1). We understand the asteros…
Detecting the Companions and Ellipsoidal Variations of RS CVn Primaries: I. sigma Geminorum
Rachael M. Roettenbacher, John D. Monnier, Gregory W. Henry +17
To measure the properties of both components of the RS CVn binary sigma Geminorum (sigma Gem), we directly detect the faint companion, measure the orbit, obtain model-independent m…
