Journal ArticleDOI
Probabilistic forecasting of the masses and radii of other worlds
Jingjing Chen,David M. Kipping +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an unbiased forecasting model built upon a probabilistic mass-radius relation conditioned on a sample of 316 well-constrained objects, which can predict the mass (or radius) from the radius (or mass) for objects covering nine orders of magnitude in mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
A disintegrating minor planet transiting a white dwarf
Andrew Vanderburg,John Asher Johnson,Saul Rappaport,Allyson Bieryla,Jonathan Irwin,John Arban Lewis,David M. Kipping,David M. Kipping,Warren R. Brown,Patrick Dufour,David R. Ciardi,Ruth Angus,Ruth Angus,Laura Schaefer,David W. Latham,David Charbonneau,Charles Beichman,Jason D. Eastman,Nate McCrady,Robert A. Wittenmyer,Jason T. Wright +20 more
TL;DR: This paper reported observations of a white dwarf (WD 1145+017) being transited by at least one, and probably several, disintegrating planetesimals, with periods ranging from 4.5 hours to 4.9 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binning is sinning: morphological light-curve distortions due to finite integration time
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore how finite integration times or equivalently temporal binning induces morphological distortions to the transit light curve and provide analytic expressions for estimating the disturbance to the various light-curve parameters as a function of the integration time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parametrizing the exoplanet eccentricity distribution with the beta distribution.
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of eccentricities for exoplanets detected through radial velocity with high signal-to-noise is well-described by a Beta distribution with parameters a = 0.0867+/-0044 and b = 303+/-017.
A Disintegrating Minor Planet Transiting a White Dwarf
Andrew Vanderburg,John Asher Johnson,Saul Rappaport,Allyson Bieryla,Jonathan Irwin,John Arban Lewis,David Charbonneau,David W. Latham,David R. Ciardi,Laura Schaefer,David M. Kipping,Ruth Angus,Jason D. Eastman,Jason T. Wright,Nate McCrady,Robert A. Wittenmyer,Patrick Dufour +16 more
TL;DR: Observations of a white dwarf being transited by at least one, and probably several, disintegrating planetesimals are reported, providing further evidence that the pollution of white dwarfs by heavy elements might originate from disrupted rocky bodies such as asteroids and minor planets.
