    • Absolute Properties of the Low-Mass Eclipsing Binary CM Draconis 

      Morales, Juan Carlos; Ribas, Ignasi; Jordi, Carme; Torres, Guillermo; Gallardo, Jose; Guinan, Edward F.; Charbonneau, David; Wolf, Marek; Latham, David W.; Anglada-Escude, Guillem; Bradstreet, David H.; Everett, Mark E.; O'Donovan, Francis T.; Mandushev, Georgi; Mathieu, Robert D. (Institute of Physics, 2009)
      Spectroscopic and eclipsing binary systems offer the best means for determining accurate physical properties of stars, including their masses and radii. The data available for low-mass stars have yielded firm evidence that ...

    • The False Positive Rate of Kepler and the Occurrence of Planets 

      Fressin, François; Torres, Guillermo; Charbonneau, David; Bryson, Stephen T.; Christiansen, Jessie; Dressing, Courtney; Jenkins, Jon M.; Walkowicz, Lucianne M.; Batalha, Natalie M. (IOP Publishing, 2013)
      The Kepler mission is uniquely suited to study the frequencies of extrasolar planets. This goal requires knowledge of the incidence of false positives such as eclipsing binaries in the background of the targets, or physically ...

    • The HARPS-N Rocky Planet Search 

      Motalebi, F.; Udry, S.; Gillon, M.; Lovis, C.; Ségransan, D.; Buchhave, L. A.; Demory, B. O.; Malavolta, L.; Dressing, Courtney Danielle; Sasselov, Dimitar D.; Rice, K.; Charbonneau, David; Collier Cameron, A.; Latham, David Winslow; Molinari, E.; Pepe, F.; Affer, L.; Bonomo, A. S.; Cosentino, R.; Dumusque, X.; Figueira, P.; Fiorenzano, A. F. M.; Gettel, S.; Harutyunyan, A.; Haywood, Raphaelle D.; Johnson, John Asher; Lopez, E.; Lopez-Morales, Maria Mercedes; Mayor, M.; Micela, G.; Mortier, A.; Nascimbeni, V.; Philips, D.; Piotto, G.; Pollacco, D.; Queloz, D.; Sozzetti, A.; Vanderburg, A.; Watson, C. A. (EDP Sciences, 2015)
      We know now from radial velocity surveys and transit space missions that planets only a few times more massive than our Earth are frequent around solar-type stars. Fundamental questions about their formation history, ...

    • Inferring the Composition of Super-Jupiter Mass Companions of Pulsars with Radio Line Spectroscopy 

      Ray, Alak; Loeb, Abraham (American Astronomical Society, 2017)
      We propose using radio line spectroscopy to detect molecular absorption lines (such as OH at 1.6-1.7 GHz) before and after the total eclipse of black widow (BW) and other short orbital period binary pulsars with low mass ...

    • Mass and Radius Determinations for Five Transiting M-Dwarf Stars 

      Fernandez, Jose M.; Latham, David W.; Everett, Mark E.; Mandushev, Georgi; Charbonneau, David; O'Donovan, Francis T.; Alonso, Roi; Hergenrother, Carl W.; Stefanik, Robert P.; Torres, Guilermo; Esquerdo, Gilbert A. (Institute of Physics, 2009)
      We have derived masses and radii for both components in five short-period single-lined eclipsing binary stars discovered by the TrES wide-angle photometric survey for transiting planets. All these systems consist of a ...

    • The Rise of the Vulcans 

      Charbonneau, David (Cambridge University Press, 2008)
      In this introductory review, I summarize the path from the initial 1995 radial-velocity discovery of hot Jupiters to the current rich panoply of investigations that are afforded when such objects are observed to transit ...

    • SDSS J1152+0248: an eclipsing double white dwarf from the Kepler K2 campaign. 

      Hallakoun, N.; Maoz, D.; Kilic, M.; Mazeh, T.; Gianninas, A.; Agol, E.; Bell, K. J.; Bloemen, S.; Brown, W. R.; Debes, J.; Faigler, S.; Kull, I.; Kupfer, T.; Loeb, Abraham; Morris, B. M.; Mullally, F. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)
      We report the discovery of the sixth known eclipsing double white dwarf (WD) system, SDSS J1152+0248, with a 2.3968 +/- 0.0003 h orbital period, in data from the Kepler Mission's K2 continuation. Analysing and modelling ...
