Lunar Occultations of Stars with Exoplanet Candidates
We investigate the potential of lunar occultations for the detection of very faint companions, and in particular for the possibility of detecting extrasolar planets. We review the basic concepts of the method, and discuss the quantities which are relevant for this particular application. The near-infrared range, and in particular the K and L bands (2.2 and 3.6m), ooer the best dynamic range. We...
متن کاملTransiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars. TESS has been selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics Explorer mission. The spacecraft will be placed into a highly elliptical 13.7-day orbit around the Earth. During its 2-year mission, TESS will employ four wide-field optical charge-coupled device cameras to monitor at l...
متن کاملA Smaller Radius for the Transiting Exoplanet
We present photometry of WASP-10 during a transit of its short–period Jovian planet. We employed the novel PSF–shaping capabilities of the OPTIC camera mounted on the UH 2.2m telescope to achieve a photometric precision of 4.7 × 10 per 1.3 min sample. With this new light curve, in conjunction with stellar evolutionary models, we improve on existing measurements of the planetary, stellar and orb...
متن کاملPhotometric Precision for the Transiting Exoplanet
We seek to fully characterize all noise contributions along the CCD and electronics signal path specific to the equipment to be used on board the TESS all-sky space observatory. We adjust physical variables in such a way as to minimize this noise and achieve a photometric precision limited in large part by shot noise. Ultimately, the goal is to demonstrate in the lab, by analyzing photon data g...
متن کاملInfluence of Stellar Multiplicity on Planet Formation. Iv. Adaptive Optics Imaging of Kepler Stars with Multiple Transiting Planet Candidates
The Kepler mission provides a wealth of multiple transiting planet systems (MTPSs). The formation and evolution of multi-planet systems are likely to be influenced by companion stars given the abundance of multiple stellar systems. We study the influence of stellar companions by measuring the stellar multiplicity rate of MTPSs. We select 138 bright (KP < 13.5) Kepler MTPSs and search for stella...
