Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Nancy Y. Kiang, Niki Parenteau +38
For the first time in human history, we will soon be able to apply the scientific method to the question "Are We Alone?" The rapid advance of exoplanet discovery, planetary systems…
The K2-138 System: A Near-Resonant Chain of Five Sub-Neptune Planets Discovered by Citizen Scientists
Jessie L. Christiansen, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Geert Barentsen +25
K2-138 is a moderately bright (V = 12.2, K = 10.3) main sequence K-star observed in Campaign 12 of the NASA K2 mission. It hosts five small (1.6-3.3R_Earth) transiting planets in a…
Planet Candidates from K2 Campaigns 5-8 and Follow-Up Optical Spectroscopy
Erik A. Petigura, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Howard Isaacson +10
We present 151 planet candidates orbiting 141 stars from K2 campaigns 5-8 (C5-C8), identified through a systematic search of K2 photometry. In addition, we identify 16 targets as l…
The Science Case for an Extended Spitzer Mission
Jennifer C. Yee, Giovanni G. Fazio, Robert Benjamin +45
Although the final observations of the Spitzer Warm Mission are currently scheduled for March 2019, it can continue operations through the end of the decade with no loss of photome…
KELT-19Ab: A P~4.6 Day Hot Jupiter Transiting a Likely Am Star with a Distant Stellar Companion
Robert J. Siverd, Karen A. Collins, George Zhou +51
We present the discovery of the giant planet KELT-19Ab, which transits the moderately bright A8V star TYC 764-1494-1 with an orbital period of 4.61 days. We…
KELT-20b: A giant planet with a period of P~ 3.5 days transiting the V~ 7.6 early A star HD 185603
Michael B. Lund, Joseph E. Rodriguez, George Zhou +46
We report the discovery of KELT-20b, a hot Jupiter transiting a V~7.6 early A star with an orbital period of P~3.47 days. We identified the initial transit signal in KELT-North sur…
