    • A planetary system around the nearby M dwarf GJ 667C with at least one super-earth in its habitable zone 

      Anglada-Escude, Guillem; Arriagada, Pamela; Vogt, Steven S.; Rivera, Eugenio J.; Butler, R. Paul; Crane, Jeffrey D.; Shectman, Stephen A.; Thompson, Ian B.; Minniti, Dante; Haghighipour, Nader; Carter, Brad D.; Tinney, C.G.; Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Bailey, Jeremy A.; O'Toole, Simon J.; Jones, H.R.A.; Jenkins, J.S. (2012-05-20)
      We re-analyze 4 years of HARPS spectra of the nearby M1.5 dwarf GJ 667C available through the European Southern Observatory public archive. The new radial velocity (RV) measurements were obtained using a new data analysis ...

    • Search for nearby Earth analogs I. 15 planet candidates found in PFS data 

      Feng, Fabo; Crane, Jeffrey D.; Wang, Sharon Xuesong; Teske, Johanna K.; Shectman, Stephen A.; Díaz, Matías R.; Thompson, Ian B.; Jones, Hugh R. A.; Butler, R. Paul (2019-06-17)
      The radial velocity (RV) method plays a major role in the discovery of nearby exoplanets. To efficiently find planet candidates from the data obtained in high-precision RV surveys, we apply a signal diagnostic framework ...

    • Search for Nearby Earth Analogs. II. detection of five new planets, eight planet candidates, and confirmation of three planets around nine nearby M dwarfs 

      Feng, Fabo; Butler, R. Paul; Shectman, Stephen A.; Crane, Jeffrey D.; Vogt, Steve; Chambers, John; Jones, Hugh R. A.; Wang, Sharon Xuesong; Teske, Johanna K.; Burt, Jenn; Diaz, Matias R.; Thompson, Ian B. (2020-01-08)
      Zechmeister et al. surveyed 38 nearby M dwarfs from 2000 to 2007 March with VLT2 and the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) spectrometer. These data have recently been reanalyzed, yielding a significant ...

    • Two planets around Kapteyn's star: a cold and a temperate super-Earth orbiting the nearest halo red dwarf 

      Anglada-Escude, Guillem; Arriagada, P.; Tuomi, Mikko; Zechmeister, M.; Jenkins, J. S.; Ofir, A.; Dreizler, S.; Gerlach, E.; Marvin, C. J.; Reiners, A.; Jeffers, S. V.; Butler, R.P.; Vogt, S. S.; Amado, P. J.; Gerlach, E.; Rodríguez-López, C.; Berdiñas, Z. M.; Morin, J.; Crane, J. D.; Shectman, S. A.; Thompson, Ian B.; Diaz, M.; Rivera, E.; Sarmiento, L. F.; Jones, Hugh (2014-09-01)
      Exoplanets of a few Earth masses can be now detected around nearby low-mass stars using Doppler spectroscopy. In this Letter, we investigate the radial velocity variations of Kapteyn's star, which is both a sub-dwarf M-star ...
