Journal ArticleDOI
Almost All of Kepler's Multiple Planet Candidates are Planets
Jack J. Lissauer,Geoffrey W. Marcy,Jason F. Rowe,Stephen T. Bryson,Elisabeth R. Adams,Lars A. Buchhave,David R. Ciardi,William D. Cochran,Daniel C. Fabrycky,Eric B. Ford,Francois Fressin,John C. Geary,Ronald L. Gilliland,Matthew J. Holman,Steve B. Howell,Jon M. Jenkins,Karen Kinemuchi,David G. Koch,Robert C. Morehead,Darin Ragozzine,Shawn Seader,Peter G. Tanenbaum,Guillermo Torres,Joseph D. Twicken +23 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a statistical analysis that demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of Kepler candidate multiple transiting systems (multis) indeed represent true, physically-associated transiting planets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kepler-15b : A hot Jupiter enriched in heavy elements and the first Kepler mission planet confirmed with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
Michael Endl,Phillip J. MacQueen,William D. Cochran,Erik Brugamyer,Lars A. Buchhave,Jason F. Rowe,P. W. Lucas,Howard Isaacson,Steve Bryson,Steve B. Howell,Jonathan J. Fortney,Terese T. Hansen,William J. Borucki,Douglas A. Caldwell,Jessie L. Christiansen,David R. Ciardi,Brice-Olivier Demory,Mark E. Everett,Eric B. Ford,Michael R. Haas,Matthew J. Holman,Elliott P. Horch,Jon M. Jenkins,David Koch,Jack J. Lissauer,Pavel Machalek,Martin Still,William F. Welsh,Dwight T. Sanderfer,Shawn Seader,Jeffrey C. Smith,Susan E. Thompson,Joseph D. Twicken +32 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the High Resolution Spectrograph (HRS) at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) to determine the mass of a Kepler-15b via precise radial velocity (RV) measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origins of Eccentric Extrasolar Planets: Testing the Planet-Planet Scattering Model
Eric B. Ford,Frederic A. Rasio +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that simulations with two unequal mass planets starting on nearly circular orbits predict a reduced frequency of collisions and a broader range of final eccentricities, provided that both planets are initially placed on roughly circular orbits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radio Interferometric Planet Search I: First Constraints on Planetary Companions for Nearby, Low-Mass Stars from Radio Astrometry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a Very Large Array survey of 172 active M dwarfs at distances of less than 10 pc, including seven stars with flux densities greater than 100 microJy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Third Planet Orbiting HIP 14810
Jason T. Wright,Debra A. Fischer,Eric B. Ford,Dimitri Veras,Ji Wang,Gregory W. Henry,Geoffrey W. Marcy,Andrew W. Howard,John Asher Johnson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the radial velocities and a three-planet Keplerian orbit fit for the V = 8.5, G5 V star HIP 14810 were presented, and numerically integrated the family of orbital solutions consistent with the data and find that they are stable for at least 10^6 yr.
