TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the properties of the star KOI 961 and Barnard's Star, a nearby, well-characterized mid-M dwarf, and find that they are similar effective temperatures and metallicities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported observations of a planet transiting AU Microscopii (AU Mic b), which has an orbital period of 846 days, an orbital distance of 007-astronomical units, a radius of 04-Jupiter radii, and a mass of less than 18 Jupiter masses at 3σ confidence.

TL;DR: In this article, an optical vortex coronagraph has been implemented within the NIRC2 camera on the Keck II telescope and used to carry out on-sky tests and observations, and an initial demonstration of the new capability is presented: a resolved image of the low-mass companion to HIP 79124, which had previously been detected by means of interferometry.
