NO EVIDENCE for ACTIVITY CORRELATIONS in the RADIAL VELOCITIES of KAPTEYN'S STAR
(2016-10-20)
Stellar activity may induce Doppler variability at the level of a few m s-1 which can then be confused by the Doppler signal of an exoplanet orbiting the star. To first order, linear correlations between radial velocity ...
The curious case of HD 41248. A pair of static signals buried behind red noise
(2014-10-20)
Gaining a better understanding of the effects of stellar-induced radial velocity noise is critical for the future of exoplanet studies since the discovery of the lowest-mass planets using this method will require us to go ...
GJ 832c : A super-earth in the habitable zone
(2014-08-05)
We report the detection of GJ 832c, a super-Earth orbiting near the inner edge of the habitable zone of GJ 832, an M dwarf previously known to host a Jupiter analog in a nearly circular 9.4 yr orbit. The combination of ...
Precision radial velocities of 15 M5-M9 dwarfs
(2014-04-11)
We present radial velocity measurements of a sample ofM5V-M9Vstars from our Red-Optical Planet Survey, operating at 0.652-1.025 μm. Radial velocities for 15 stars, with rms precision down to 2.5m-1 over a week-long time-scale, ...
Two super-earths orbiting the solar analog HD 41248 on the edge of a 7 : 5 mean motion resonance
(2013-07-01)
There are a growing number of multi-planet systems known to be orbiting their host stars with orbital periods that place them in mean motion resonances (MMRs). These systems are generally in first-order resonances and ...
