Validation of small Kepler transiting planet candidates in or near the habitable zone
Guillermo Torres, Stephen R. Kane, Jason F. Rowe +16
A main goal of NASA's Kepler Mission is to establish the frequency of potentially habitable Earth-size planets (eta Earth). Relatively few such candidates identified by the mission…
Exclusion of Stellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars
Justin M. Wittrock, Stephen R. Kane, Elliott P. Horch +3
Given the frequency of stellar multiplicity in the solar neighborhood, it is important to study the impacts this can have on exoplanet properties and orbital dynamics. There have b…
Characterizing K2 Candidate Planetary Systems Orbiting Low-Mass Stars II: Planetary Systems Observed During Campaigns 1-7
Courtney D. Dressing, Andrew Vanderburg, Joshua E. Schlieder +14
We recently used near-infrared spectroscopy to improve the characterization of 76 low-mass stars around which K2 had detected 79 candidate transiting planets. Thirty of these world…
HAT-P-67b: An Extremely Low Density Saturn Transiting an F-Subgiant Confirmed via Doppler Tomography
G. Zhou, G. Á. Bakos, J. D. Hartman +29
We report the discovery of HAT-P-67b, a hot-Saturn transiting a rapidly rotating F-subgiant. HAT-P-67b has a radius of Rp = 2.085 -0.071/+0.096 RJ,, orbiting a M* = 1.642 -0.072/+0…
Four Sub-Saturns with Dissimilar Densities: Windows into Planetary Cores and Envelopes
Erik A. Petigura, Evan Sinukoff, Eric Lopez +12
We present results from a Keck/HIRES radial velocity campaign to study four sub-Saturn-sized planets, K2-27b, K2-32b, K2-39b, and K2-108b, with the goal of understanding their mass…
Assessing the Effect of Stellar Companions from High-Resolution Imaging of Kepler Objects of Interest
Lea A. Hirsch, David R. Ciardi, Andrew W. Howard +7
We report on 176 close (<2") stellar companions detected with high-resolution imaging near 170 hosts of Kepler Objects of Interest. These Kepler targets were prioritized for imagin…
