TESS full orbital phase curve of the WASP-18b system

Avi Shporer, Ian Wong, Chelsea X. Huang +18

We present a visible-light full orbital phase curve of the transiting planet WASP-18b measured by the TESS Mission. The phase curve includes the transit, secondary eclipse, and sin…

TESS Discovery of an ultra-short-period planet around the nearby M dwarf LHS 3844

Roland Vanderspek, Chelsea X. Huang, Andrew Vanderburg +45

Data from the newly-commissioned \textit{Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite} (TESS) has revealed a "hot Earth" around LHS 3844, an M dwarf located 15 pc away. The planet has a r…

Four new eclipsing mid M-dwarf systems from the New Luyten Two Tenths catalog

Jonathan M. Irwin, David Charbonneau, Gilbert A. Esquerdo +7

Using data from the MEarth-North and MEarth-South transit surveys, we present the detection of eclipses in four mid M-dwarf systems: LP 107-25, LP 261-75, LP 796-24, and LP 991-15.…

A second terrestrial planet orbiting the nearby M dwarf LHS 1140

Kristo Ment, Jason A. Dittmann, Nicola Astudillo-Defru +27

LHS 1140 is a nearby mid-M dwarf known to host a temperate rocky super-Earth (LHS 1140 b) on a 24.737-day orbit. Based on photometric observations by MEarth and Spitzer as well as…

Radial velocity follow-up of GJ1132 with HARPS. A precise mass for planet 'b' and the discovery of a second planet

X. Bonfils, J. -M. Almenara, R. Cloutier +19

GJ1132 is a nearby red dwarf known to host a transiting Earth-size planet. After its initial detection, we pursued an intense follow-up with the HARPS velocimeter. We now confirm t…

Ground-based optical transmission spectroscopy of the small, rocky exoplanet GJ 1132b

Hannah Diamond-Lowe, Zachory Berta-Thompson, David Charbonneau +1

Terrestrial Solar System planets either have high mean molecular weight atmospheres, as with Venus, Mars, and Earth, or no atmosphere at all, as with Mercury. We do not have suffic…
