197 candidates and 104 validated planets in K2's first five fields

Ian J. M. Crossfield, +52 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first year of the NASA K2 mission (Campaigns 0-4) was used to discover 197 candidates for Earth-like planets, with the results of an intensive program of photometric analyses, stellar spectroscopy, high-resolution imaging and statistical validation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robotic Laser Adaptive Optics Imaging of 715 Kepler Exoplanet Candidates Using Robo-AO

TL;DR: The Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey as mentioned in this paper is observing every Kepler planet candidate host star with laser adaptive optics imaging to search for blended nearby stars, which may be physically associated companions and/or responsible for transit false positives.
Journal ArticleDOI

SOAR TESS Survey. I. Sculpting of TESS Planetary Systems by Stellar Companions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used speckle imaging on SOAR to search for companions to 542 TESS planet candidate hosts in the Southern sky, and provided correction factors for the 117 systems with resolved companions due to photometric contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI

197 Candidates and 104 Validated Planets in K2's First Five Fields

Ian J. M. Crossfield, +52 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first year of the NASA K2 mission (Campaigns 0-4) was used to discover 197 candidates for Earth-like terrestrial worlds, with median values of R_P = 2.3 R_E, P=8.6 d, Tef = 5300 K, and Kp=12.7 mag.
Journal ArticleDOI

The First Naked-eye Superflare Detected from Proxima Centauri

TL;DR: In this article, the photochemical effects of NOx atmospheric species generated by particle events from Proxima Centauri's extreme stellar activity were modeled and shown that the repeated flaring may be sufficient to reduce the ozone of an Earth-like atmosphere by 90% within five years.
