Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Matthew C. H. Leung, Matthew C. H. Leung, , , | Summary: An increasing number of applications in exoplanetary science require spectrographs with high resolution and high throughput without the need for a broad spectral range. Examples include the search for biosignatures through the detection of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Juliana García-Mejía, Zoë L. de Beurs, Patrick Tamburo, Andrew Vanderburg, David Charbonneau | Summary: We present a ground-based transit detection of HIP 41378 f, a long-period ($P = 542$ days), extremely low-density ($0.09 pm 0.02$ g cm$^{-3}$) giant exoplanet in a dynamically complex system. Using photometry from […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Patrick Tamburo, Samuel W. Yee, Juliana García-Mejía, Gudmundur Stefánsson, David Charbonneau | Summary: We measure the true obliquity of TOI-2364, a K dwarf with a sub-Saturn-mass ($M_p = 0.18,M_J$) transiting planet on the upper edge of the hot Neptune desert. We used new Rossiter-McLaughlin observations gathered with […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Tim Cunningham, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Mairi O’Brien, Evan B. Bauer, Mark A. Hollands | Summary: We present a population synthesis model which addresses the different mass distributions of the metal-polluted and non-metal-polluted hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs identified in volume-limited samples. Specifically, metal-pollution has been observed to be rare in […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Rena A. Lee, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard, Samuel Halverson, Jonathan Gomez Barrientos | Summary: We report the confirmation of TOI-6324 b, an Earth-sized (1.059 $pm$ 0.041 R$_oplus$) ultra-short-period (USP) planet orbiting a nearby ($sim$20 pc) M dwarf. Using the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder (KPF) spectrograph, […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Tim Cunningham, Ilaria Caiazzo, Nikolaus Z. Prusinski, James Fuller, John C. Raymond | Summary: The recently discovered Pa 30 nebula, the putative type Iax supernova remnant associated with the historical supernova of 1181 AD, shows puzzling characteristics that make it unique among known supernova remnants. In particular, […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Matthew C. H. Leung, Colby A. Jurgenson, Andrew Szentgyorgyi, Brian McLeod, Cem Onyuksel | Summary: The Hartmann test is a method used to measure the wavefront error in a focal optical system, wherein a mask with a pattern of small holes is placed at the system’s aperture […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Ben J. Sutlieff, Jayne L. Birkby, Jordan M. Stone, Annelotte Derkink, Frank Backs | Summary: The time variability and spectra of directly imaged companions provide insight into their physical properties and atmospheric dynamics. We present follow-up R~40 spectrophotometric monitoring of red companion HD 1160 B at 2.8-4.2 […]
