The occurrence of planets and other substellar bodies around white dwarfs using K2

Lennart van Sluijs, Vincent Van Eylen

The majority of stars both host planetary systems and evolve into a white dwarf (WD). To understand their post-main-sequence (PMS) planetary system evolution, we present a search f…

The discovery and mass measurement of a new ultra-short-period planet: EPIC~228732031b

Fei Dai, Joshua N. Winn, Davide Gandolfi +51

We report the discovery of a new ultra-short-period planet and summarize the properties of all such planets for which the mass and radius have been measured. The new planet, EPIC~2…

Detecting Proxima b's atmosphere with JWST targeting CO2 at 15 micron using a high-pass spectral filtering technique

I. Snellen, J. -M. Desert, L. Waters +15

Exoplanet Proxima b will be an important laboratory for the search for extraterrestrial life for the decades ahead. Here we discuss the prospects of detecting carbon dioxide at 15…

The [Y/Mg] clock works for evolved solar metallicity stars

D. Slumstrup, F. Grundahl, K. Brogaard +5

Previously [Y/Mg] has been proven to be an age indicator for solar twins. Here, we investigate if this relation also holds for helium-core-burning stars of solar metallicity. High…

K2-106, a system containing a metal-rich planet and a planet of lower density

E. W. Guenther, O. Barragan, F. Dai +42

Planets in the mass range from 2 to 15 MEarth are very diverse. Some of them have low densities, while others are very dense. By measuring the masses and radii, the mean densities,…
