Detection and characterization of an ultra-dense sub-Neptune planet orbiting the Sun-like star HD 119130
R. Luque, G. Nowak, E. Pallé +51
We present the discovery and characterization of a new transiting planet from Campaign 17 of the Kepler extended mission K2. HD 119130 b is a warm sub-Neptune on a 17-d orbit aroun…
Discovery of Six Optical Phase Curves with K2
Prajwal Niraula, Seth Redfield, Julien de Wit +4
We have systematically searched for the phase curves among the planets discovered by \textit{K2}. Using the reported planetary parameters, we screen out the best potential candidat…
HD219666b: A hot-Neptune from TESS Sector 1
M. Esposito, D. J. Armstrong, D. Gandolfi +73
We report on the confirmation and mass determination of a transiting planet orbiting the old and inactive G7 dwarf star HD219666 (Mstar = 0.92 +/- 0.03 MSun, Rstar = 1.03 +/- 0.03…
K2-140b and K2-180b - Characterization of a hot Jupiter and a mini-Neptune from the K2 mission
J. Korth, Sz. Csizmadia, D. Gandolfi +40
We report the independent discovery and characterization of two K2 planets: K2-180b, a mini-Neptune-size planet in an 8.9-day orbit transiting a V = 12.6 mag, metal-poor ([Fe/H] =$…
Larger mutual inclinations for the shortest-period planets
Fei Dai, Kento Masuda, Joshua N. Winn
The {\it Kepler} mission revealed a population of compact multiple-planet systems with orbital periods shorter than a year, and occasionally even shorter than a day. By analyzing a…
K2-264: A transiting multi-planet system in the Praesepe open cluster
John H. Livingston, Fei Dai, Teruyuki Hirano +31
Planet host stars with well-constrained ages provide a rare window to the time domain of planet formation and evolution. The NASA K2 mission has enabled the discovery of the vast m…
Kepler-730b is probably a hot Jupiter with a small companion
Wei Zhu, Fei Dai, Kento Masuda
Here we draw attention to a candidate system with one hot Jupiter and one small, nearby companion, revealed by the recent Kepler data release (DR25). The hot Jupiter, Kepler-730b,…
Detection and Doppler monitoring of EPIC 246471491, a system of four transiting planets smaller than Neptune
E. Palle, G. Nowak, R. Luque +43
The Kepler extended mission, also known as K2, has provided the community with a wealth of planetary candidates that orbit stars typically much brighter than the targets of the ori…
K2-295 b and K2-237 b: two transiting hot Jupiters
A. M. S. Smith, Sz. Csizmadia, D. Gandolfi +32
We report the discovery from K2 of two transiting hot Jupiter systems. K2-295 (observed in Campaign 8) is a K5 dwarf which hosts a planet slightly smaller than Jupiter, orbiting wi…
44 Validated Planets from K2 Campaign 10
John H. Livingston, Michael Endl, Fei Dai +31
We present 44 validated planets from the 10 observing campaign of the NASA mission, as well as high resolution spectroscopy and speckle imaging follow-up observa…
K2-260 b: a hot Jupiter transiting an F star, and K2-261 b: a warm Saturn around a bright G star
M. C. Johnson, F. Dai, A. B. Justesen +45
We present the discovery and confirmation of two new transiting giant planets from the Kepler extended mission K2. K2-260 b is a hot Jupiter transiting a F6V star in K2 Fi…
HD 89345: a bright oscillating star hosting a transiting warm Saturn-sized planet observed by K2
V. Van Eylen, F. Dai, S. Mathur +40
We report the discovery and characterization of HD 89345b (K2-234b; EPIC 248777106b), a Saturn-sized planet orbiting a slightly evolved star. HD 89345 is a bright star ( m…
Super-Earth of 8 Mearth in a 2.2-day orbit around the K5V star K2-216
C. M. Persson, M. Fridlund, O. Barragán +35
The KESPRINT consortium identified K2-216 as a planetary candidate host star in the K2 space mission Campaign 8 field with a transiting super-Earth. The planet has recently been va…
Stellar obliquities and magnetic activities of Planet-Hosting Stars and Eclipsing Binaries based on Transit Chord Correlation
Fei Dai, Joshua N. Winn, Zachory Berta-Thompson +2
The light curve of an eclipsing system shows anomalies whenever the eclipsing body passes in front of active regions on the eclipsed star. In some cases, the pattern of anomalies c…
K2-155: A Bright Metal-Poor M Dwarf with Three Transiting Super-Earths
Teruyuki Hirano, Fei Dai, John H. Livingston +32
We report on the discovery of three transiting super-Earths around K2-155 (EPIC 210897587), a relatively bright early M dwarf ( mag) observed during Campaign 13 of the NAS…
