J.; Pedani, Marco; Phillips, David F.; Piotto, Giampaolo; Pollacco, Don; Queloz, Didier; Rice, Ken; Riddle, Reed; Rowe, Jason F.; Rucinski, Slavek M.; Sasselov, Dimitar D.; Ségransan, Damien; Sozzetti, Alessandro; Szentgyorgyi, Andrew H.; Watson, Chris; Weiss, Werner W. (IOP Publishing, 2015)
      We report the first planet discovery from the two-wheeled Kepler (K2) mission: HIP 116454 b. The host star HIP 116454 is a bright (V = 10.1, K = 8.0) K1 dwarf with high proper motion and a parallax-based distance of 55.2 ...
    • A Disintegrating Minor Planet Transiting a White Dwarf 

      Vanderburg, Andrew Michael; Johnson, John Asher; Rappaport, Saul; Bieryla, Allyson; Irwin, Jonathan; Lewis, John Arban; Kipping, David; Brown, Warren R.; Dufour, Patrick; Ciardi, David R.; Angus, Ruth; Schaefer, Laura Kay; Latham, David Winslow; Charbonneau, David; Beichman, Charles; Eastman, Jason D.; McCrady, Nate; Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Wright, Jason T. (Springer Nature, 2015)
      White dwarfs are the end state of most stars, including the Sun, after they exhaust their nuclear fuel. Between 1/4 and 1/2 of white dwarfs have elements heavier than helium in their atmospheres1,2, even though these ...
    • Sn 2012au: A Golden Link Between Superluminous Supernovae and Their Lower-Luminosity Counterparts 

      Milisavljevic, Danny; Soderberg, Alicia M.; Margutti, Raffaella; Drout, Maria Rebecca; Marion, G. Howie; Sanders, Nathan Edward; Hsiao, Eric Y.; Lunnan, Ragnhild; Chornock, Ryan; Fesen, Robert A.; Parrent, Jerod T.; Levesque, Emily M.; Berger, Edo; Foley, Ryan J.; Challis, Pete; Kirshner, Robert P.; Dittmann, Jason Adam; Bieryla, Allyson; Kamble, Atish; Chakraborti, Sayan; De Rosa, Gisella; Fausnaugh, Michael; Hainline, Kevin N.; Chen, Chien-Ting; Hickox, Ryan C.; Morrell, Nidia; Phillips, Mark M.; Stritzinger, Maximilian (IOP Publishing, 2013)
      We present optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2012au, a slow-evolving supernova (SN) with properties that suggest a link between subsets of energetic and H-poor SNe and superluminous SNe. SN 2012au exhibited ...
