K2-141 b: A 5-M super-Earth transiting a K7 V star every 6.7 hours
O. Barragán, D. Gandolfi, F. Dai +32
We report on the discovery of K2-141 b (EPIC 246393474 b), an ultra-short-period super-Earth on a 6.7-hour orbit transiting an active K7 V star based on data from K2 campaign 12. W…
Three Small Super-Earths Transiting the nearby star GJ 9827
Prajwal Niraula, Seth Redfield, Fei Dai +25
We report on the discovery of three transiting planets around GJ~9827. The planets have radii of 1.75, 1.36, and 2.10~…
High-Resolution Spectroscopic Detection of TiO and Stratosphere in the Day-side of WASP-33b
Stevanus K. Nugroho, Hajime Kawahara, Kento Masuda +3
We report high-resolution spectroscopic detection of TiO molecular signature in the day-side spectra of WASP-33 b, the second hottest known hot Jupiter. We used High-Dispersion Spe…
Three Small Planets Transiting a Hyades Star
John H. Livingston, Fei Dai, Teruyuki Hirano +33
We present the discovery of three small planets transiting K2-136 (LP 358 348, EPIC 247589423), a late K dwarf in the Hyades. The planets have orbital periods of $7.9757 \pm 0.0011…
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 discovery and mass measurement of a new ultra-short-period planet: EPIC~228732031b
Fei Dai, Joshua N. Winn, Davide Gandolfi +51
We report the discovery of a new ultra-short-period planet and summarize the properties of all such planets for which the mass and radius have been measured. The new planet, EPIC~2…
K2-137 b: an Earth-sized planet in a 4.3-hour orbit around an M-dwarf
A. M. S. Smith, J. Cabrera, Sz. Csizmadia +34
We report the discovery from K2 of a transiting terrestrial planet in an ultra-short-period orbit around an M3-dwarf. K2-137 b completes an orbit in only 4.3 hours, the second-shor…
The transiting multi-planet system HD3167: a 5.7 MEarth Super-Earth and a 8.3 MEarth mini-Neptune
Davide Gandolfi, Oscar Barragán, Artie P. Hatzes +42
HD3167 is a bright (V=8.9 mag) K0V star observed by the NASA's K2 space mission during its Campaign 8. It has been recently found to host two small transiting planets, namely, HD31…
K2-106, a system containing a metal-rich planet and a planet of lower density
E. W. Guenther, O. Barragan, F. Dai +42
Planets in the mass range from 2 to 15 MEarth are very diverse. Some of them have low densities, while others are very dense. By measuring the masses and radii, the mean densities,…
EPIC 210894022b - A short period super-Earth transiting a metal poor, evolved old star
Malcolm Fridlund, Eric Gaidos, Oscar Barragán +31
The star EPIC 210894022 has been identified from a light curve acquired through the K2 space mission as possibly orbited by a transiting planet. Our aim is to confirm the planetary…
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…
