A Full Implementation of Spectro-Perfectionism for Precise Radial Velocity Exoplanet Detection: A Test Case With the MINERVA Reduction Pipeline
Matthew A. Cornachione, Adam S. Bolton, Jason D. Eastman +10
We present a computationally tractable implementation of spectro-perfectionism, a method which minimizes error imparted by spectral extraction. We develop our method in conjunction…
"Auxiliary" Science with the WFIRST Microlensing Survey
B. Scott Gaudi, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +21
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will monitor deg toward the Galactic bulge in a wide (m) W149 filter at 15-minute cadence with exposure t…
The Scientific Context of WFIRST Microlensing in the 2020s
Jennifer Yee, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +23
[abridged] WFIRST is uniquely capable of finding planets with masses as small as Mars at separations comparable to Jupiter, i.e., beyond the current ice lines of their stars. These…
Wide-Orbit Exoplanet Demographics
David P. Bennett, Rachel Akeson, Yann Alibert +41
The Kepler, K2 and TESS transit surveys are revolutionizing our understanding of planets orbiting close to their host stars and our understanding of exoplanet systems in general, b…
Masses and Distances of Planetary Microlens Systems with High Angular Resolution Imaging
Aparna Bhattacharya, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +33
Microlensing is the only method that can detect and measure mass of wide orbit, low mass, solar system analog exoplanets. Mass measurements of such planets would yield massive scie…
Measurement of the Free-Floating Planet Mass Function with Simultaneous Euclid and WFIRST Microlensing Parallax Observations
Matthew T. Penny, Etienne Bachelet, Samson Johnson +17
Free-floating planets are the remnants of violent dynamical rearrangements of planetary systems. It is possible that even our own solar system ejected a large planet early in its e…
