Calibrating Iodine Cells for Precise Radial Velocities
Sharon Xuesong Wang, Jason T. Wright, Phillip MacQueen +4
High fidelity iodine spectra provide the wavelength and instrument calibration needed to extract precise radial velocities (RVs) from stellar spectral observations taken through io…
A Search for Lost Planets in the Kepler Multi-planet Systems and the Discovery of the Long-period, Neptune-sized Exoplanet Kepler-150 f
Joseph R. Schmitt, Jon M. Jenkins, Debra A. Fischer
The vast majority of the 4700 confirmed planets and planet candidates discovered by the Kepler mission were first found by the Kepler pipeline. In the pipeline, after a transit sig…
Planet Hunters X: Searching for Nearby Neighbors of 75 Planet and Eclipsing Binary Candidates from the K2 Kepler Extended Mission
Joseph R. Schmitt, Andrei Tokovinin, Ji Wang +22
We present high-resolution observations of a sample of 75 K2 targets from Campaigns 1-3 using speckle interferometry on the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope and ada…
Planet Hunters. VIII. Characterization of 41 Long-Period Exoplanet Candidates from Kepler Archival Data
Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer, Thomas Barclay +30
The census of exoplanets is incomplete for orbital distances larger than 1 AU. Here, we present 41 long-period planet candidates in 38 systems identified by Planet Hunters based on…
Planet Hunters X. KIC 8462852 - Where's the Flux?
T. S. Boyajian, D. M. LaCourse, S. A. Rappaport +46
Over the duration of the Kepler mission, KIC8462852 was observed to undergo irregularly shaped, aperiodic dips in flux of up to \%. The dipping activity can last for betwe…
Modeling the Asteroseismic Surface Term across the HR Diagram
Joseph R. Schmitt, Sarbani Basu
Asteroseismology is a powerful tool that can precisely characterize the mass, radius, and other properties of field stars. However, our inability to properly model the near-surface…
Kepler Eclipsing Binary Stars. VI. Identification of Eclipsing Binaries in the K2 Campaign 0 Data-set
Daryll M. LaCourse, Kian J. Jek, Thomas L. Jacobs +15
The original {\it Kepler} mission observed and characterized over 2400 eclipsing binaries in addition to its prolific exoplanet detections. Despite the mechanical malfunction and s…
Planet Hunters VII. Discovery of a New Low-Mass, Low-Density Planet (PH3 c) Orbiting Kepler-289 with Mass Measurements of Two Additional Planets (PH3 b and d)
Joseph R. Schmitt, Eric Agol, Katherine M. Deck +18
We report the discovery of one newly confirmed planet ( days, ) and mass determinations of two previously validated Kepler planets, Kepler-…
Planet Hunters. VI: An Independent Characterization of KOI-351 and Several Long Period Planet Candidates from the Kepler Archival Data
Joseph R. Schmitt, Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer +29
We report the discovery of 14 new transiting planet candidates in the Kepler field from the Planet Hunters citizen science program. None of these candidates overlapped with Kepler…
Planet Hunters. V. A Confirmed Jupiter-Size Planet in the Habitable Zone and 42 Planet Candidates from the Kepler Archive Data
Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer, Thomas Barclay +18
We report the latest Planet Hunter results, including PH2 b, a Jupiter-size (R_PL = 10.12 \pm 0.56 R_E) planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a solar-type star. PH2 b was elevat…
X-rays from Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies
Philip Kaaret, Joseph Schmitt, Mark Gorski
We measured the X-ray fluxes from an optically-selected sample of blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) with metallicities <0.07 and solar distances less than 15 Mpc. Four X-ray point…
