Constraints on the Spin Evolution of Young Planetary-Mass Companions
Marta L. Bryan, Bjorn Benneke, Heather A. Knutson +2
Surveys of young star-forming regions have discovered a growing population of planetary-mass (<13 M_Jup) companions around young stars. There is an ongoing debate as to whether the…
The Very Low Albedo of WASP-12b From Spectral Eclipse Observations with
Taylor J. Bell, Nikolay Nikolov, Nicolas B. Cowan +11
We present an optical eclipse observation of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. These spectra allow us to…
Characterization of the K2-18 multi-planetary system with HARPS: A habitable zone super-Earth and discovery of a second, warm super-Earth on a non-coplanar orbit
R. Cloutier, N. Astudillo-Defru, R. Doyon +16
The bright M dwarf K2-18 at 34 pc is known to host a transiting super-Earth-sized planet orbiting within the star's habitable zone; K2-18b. Given the superlative nature of this sys…
Detection of Water Vapor in the Thermal Spectrum of the Non-Transiting Hot Jupiter upsilon Andromedae b
Danielle Piskorz, Bjorn Benneke, Nathan R. Crockett +6
The upsilon Andromedae system was the first multi-planet system discovered orbiting a main sequence star. We describe the detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of the innermos…
Three's Company: An additional non-transiting super-Earth in the bright HD 3167 system, and masses for all three planets
Jessie L. Christiansen, Andrew Vanderburg, Jennifer Burt +55
HD 3167 is a bright (V = 8.9), nearby K0 star observed by the NASA K2 mission (EPIC 220383386), hosting two small, short-period transiting planets. Here we present the results of a…
HAT-P-26b: A Neptune-Mass Exoplanet with a Well Constrained Heavy Element Abundance
Hannah R. Wakeford, David K. Sing, Tiffany Kataria +11
A correlation between giant-planet mass and atmospheric heavy elemental abundance was first noted in the past century from observations of planets in our own Solar System, and has…
