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…
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,…
Prospects of Finding Detached Black Hole-Star Binaries with TESS
Kento Masuda, Kenta Hotokezaka
We discuss prospects of identifying and characterizing black hole (BH) companions to normal stars on tight but detached orbits, using photometric data from the Transiting Exoplanet…
A Hubble constant measurement from superluminal motion of the jet in GW170817
Kenta Hotokezaka, Ehud Nakar, Ore Gottlieb +5
The Hubble constant () measures the current expansion rate of the Universe, and plays a fundamental role in cosmology. Tremendous effort has been dedicated over the past decad…
Biases in Planet Occurrence Caused by Unresolved Binaries in Transit Surveys
L. G. Bouma, Kento Masuda, J. N. Winn
Wide-field surveys for transiting planets, such as the NASA Kepler and TESS missions, are usually conducted without knowing which stars have binary companions. Unresolved and unrec…
Systematic Search for Rings around Kepler Planet Candidates: Constraints on Ring Size and Occurrence Rate
Masataka Aizawa, Kento Masuda, Hajime Kawahara +1
We perform a systematic search for rings around 168 Kepler planet candidates with sufficient signal-to-noise ratios that are selected from all the short-cadence data. We fit ringed…
