The HD 60779 Planetary System: A Transiting Sub-Neptune on a 30-day Orbit and a More Massive Outer World
Victoria DiTomasso, David Charbonneau, Andrew Vanderburg +37
We present the discovery of the planetary system orbiting the bright (V = 7.2), nearby (35 pc), Sun-like star HD 60779, which has a mass of 1.050 +/- 0.044 solar masses and a radiu…
The Visual Survey Group: A Decade of Hunting Exoplanets and Unusual Stellar Events with Space-Based Telescopes
Martti H. K. Kristiansen, Saul A. Rappaport, Andrew M. Vanderburg +9
This article presents the history of the Visual Survey Group (VSG) - a Professional-Amateur (Pro-Am) collaboration within the field of astronomy working on data from several space…
Mysterious Dust-emitting Object Orbiting TIC 400799224
Brian P. Powell, Veselin Kostov, Saul Rappaport +24
We report the discovery of a unique object of uncertain nature -- but quite possibly a disintegrating asteroid or minor planet -- orbiting one star of the widely separated binary T…
A long-period substellar object exhibiting a single transit in Kepler
Samuel N. Quinn, Saul Rappaport, Andrew Vanderburg +11
We report the detection of a single transit-like signal in the Kepler data of the slightly evolved F star KIC4918810. The transit duration is ~45 hours, and while the orbital perio…
Likely Transiting Exocomets Detected by Kepler
S. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg, T. Jacobs +8
We present the first good evidence for exocomet transits of a host star in continuum light in data from the Kepler mission. The Kepler star in question, KIC 3542116, is of spectral…
HEK VI: On the Dearth of Galilean Analogs in Kepler and the Exomoon Candidate Kepler-1625b I
Alex Teachey, David M. Kipping, Allan R. Schmitt
Exomoons represent an outstanding challenge in modern astronomy, with the potential to provide rich insights into planet formation theory and habitability. In this work, we stack t…
