Starfall: A heavy rain of stars in 'turning on' AGN
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, M. Cantiello +5
As active galactic nuclei (AGN) `turn on', some stars end up embedded in accretion disks around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on retrograde orbits. Such stars experience strong…
Exoplanets around Low-mass Stars Unveiled by K2
Teruyuki Hirano, Fei Dai, Davide Gandolfi +38
We present the detection and follow-up observations of planetary candidates around low-mass stars observed by the K2 mission. Based on light-curve analysis, adaptive-optics imaging…
The remarkable outburst of the highly evolved post-period-minimum dwarf nova SSS J122221.7-311525
V. V. Neustroev, T. R. Marsh, S. V. Zharikov +22
We report extensive 3-yr multiwavelength observations of the WZ Sge-type dwarf nova SSS J122221.7-311525 during its unusual double superoutburst, the following decline and in quies…
Multi-Color Simultaneous Photometry of the T-Tauri Star Having A Planetary Candidate CVSO 30
Masahiro Onitsuka, Akihiko Fukui, Norio Narita +4
We present three-band simultaneous observations of a weak-line T-Tauri star CVSO~30 (PTFO~8-8695), which is one of the youngest objects having a candidate transiting planet. The da…
The K2-ESPRINT Project VI: K2-105 b, a Hot-Neptune around a Metal-rich G-dwarf
Norio Narita, Teruyuki Hirano, Akihiko Fukui +16
We report on the confirmation that the candidate transits observed for the star EPIC 211525389 are due to a short-period Neptune-sized planet. The host star, located in K2 campaign…
Ground-based Transit Observation of the Habitable-zone Super-Earth K2-3d
Akihiko Fukui, John Livingston, Norio Narita +4
We report the first ground-based transit observation of K2-3d, a 1.5 R_Earth planet supposedly within the habitable zone around a bright M-dwarf host star, using the Okayama 188 cm…
SEEDS direct imaging of the RV-detected companion to V450 Andromedae, and characterization of the system
K. G. Hełminiak, M. Kuzuhara, K. Mede +49
We report the direct imaging detection of a low-mass companion to a young, moderately active star V450 And, that was previously identified with the radial velocity method. The comp…
V5852 Sgr: An Unusual Nova Possibly Associated with the Sagittarius Stream
E. Aydi, P. Mróz, P. A. Whitelock +16
We report spectroscopic and photometric follow-up of the peculiar nova V5852~Sgr (discovered as OGLE-2015-NOVA-01), which exhibits a combination of features from different nova cla…
The K2-ESPRINT Project V: a short-period giant planet orbiting a subgiant star
Vincent Van Eylen, Simon Albrecht, Davide Gandolfi +31
We report on the discovery and characterization of the transiting planet K2-39b (EPIC 206247743b). With an orbital period of 4.6 days, it is the shortest-period planet orbiting a s…
High-Contrast Imaging of Intermediate-Mass Giants with Long-Term Radial Velocity Trends
Tsuguru Ryu, Bun'ei Sato, Masayuki Kuzuhara +62
A radial velocity (RV) survey for intermediate-mass giants has been operated for over a decade at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO). The OAO survey has revealed that some gia…
The K2-ESPRINT Project IV: A Hot Jupiter in a Prograde Orbit with a Possible Stellar Companion
Teruyuki Hirano, Grzegorz Nowak, Masayuki Kuzuhara +19
We report on the detection and early characterization of a hot Jupiter in a 3-day orbit around K2-34 (EPIC~212110888), a metal-rich F-type star located in the K2 Cycle 5 field. Our…
The K2-ESPRINT Project III: A Close-in Super-Earth around a Metal-rich Mid-M Dwarf
Teruyuki Hirano, Akihiko Fukui, Andrew W. Mann +18
We validate a planet on a close-in orbit ( days) around K2-28 (EPIC 206318379), a metal-rich M4-type dwarf in the Campaign 3 fiel…
Characterization of the K2-19 Multiple-Transiting Planetary System via High-Dispersion Spectroscopy, AO Imaging, and Transit Timing Variations
Norio Narita, Teruyuki Hirano, Akihiko Fukui +16
K2-19 (EPIC201505350) is an interesting planetary system in which two transiting planets with radii ~ 7 (inner planet b) and ~ 4 (outer planet c) have orbit…
