The Anglo-Australian Planet Search XXV: A Candidate Massive Saturn Analog Orbiting HD 30177

Robert A. Wittenmyer, Jonathan Horner, M. W. Mengel +8

We report the discovery of a second long-period giant planet orbiting HD 30177, a star previously known to host a massive Jupiter analog (HD 30177b: a=3.80.1 au, m sin $i=9.7\…

Recovering planet radial velocity signals in the presence of starspot activity in fully convective stars

J. R. Barnes, S. V. Jeffers, G. Anglada-Escude +6

Accounting for stellar activity is a crucial component of the search for ever-smaller planets orbiting stars of all spectral types. We use Doppler imaging methods to demonstrate th…

The habitability of Proxima Centauri b. I. Irradiation, rotation and volatile inventory from formation to the present

Ignasi Ribas, Emeline Bolmont, Franck Selsis +9

Proxima b is a planet with a minimum mass of 1.3 MEarth orbiting within the habitable zone (HZ) of Proxima Centauri, a very low-mass, active star and the Sun's closest neighbor. He…

Radial-Velocity Fitting Challenge. II. First results of the analysis of the data set

X. Dumusque, F. Borsa, M. Damasso +21

Radial-velocity (RV) signals induce RV variations an order of magnitude larger than the signal created by the orbit of Earth-twins, thus preventing their detection. The goal of thi…

A terrestrial planet candidate in a temperate orbit around Proxima Centauri

Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Pedro J. Amado, John Barnes +28

At a distance of 1.295 parsecs, the red-dwarf Proxima Centauri ( Centauri C, GL 551, HIP 70890, or simply Proxima) is the Sun's closest stellar neighbor and one of the best stud…

MagAO Imaging of Long-period Objects (MILO). II. A Puzzling White Dwarf around the Sun-like Star HD 11112

Timothy J. Rodigas, P. Bergeron, Amelie Simon +18

HD 11112 is an old, Sun-like star that has a long-term radial velocity (RV) trend indicative of a massive companion on a wide orbit. Here we present direct images of the source res…
