Formation and Detection of Earth Mass Planets around Low Mass Stars
We investigate an in-situ formation scenario for Earth-mass terrestrial planets in short-period, potentially habitable orbits around low-mass stars (M∗ < 0.3M⊙). We then investigate the feasibility of detecting these Earth-sized planets. We find that such objects can feasibly be detected by a ground-based transit survey if their formation frequency is high and if correlated noise can be control...
متن کاملDetecting Earth-Mass Planets with Gravitational Microlensing
We show that Earth mass planets orbiting stars in the Galactic disk and bulge can be detected by monitoring microlensed stars in the Galactic bulge. The star and its planet act as a binary lens which generates a lightcurve which can differ substantially from the lightcurve due only to the star itself. We show that the planetary signal remains detectable for planetary masses as small as an Earth...
متن کاملVolatile-Rich Earth-Mass Planets in the Habitable Zone
Planets that form beyond the snow line with too little mass to seed rapid gas accretion (. 10 M⊕) should be rich in volatile ices like H2O and NH3. Some of these planets should migrate inward by interacting with a circumstellar disk or with other planets. Such objects can retain their volatiles for billions of years or longer at ∼ 1 AU as their atmospheres undergo slow hydrodynamic escape. Thes...
متن کاملKepler constraints on planets near hot Jupiters.
We present the results of a search for planetary companions orbiting near hot Jupiter planet candidates (Jupiter-size candidates with orbital periods near 3 d) identified in the Kepler data through its sixth quarter of science operations. Special emphasis is given to companions between the 21 interior and exterior mean-motion resonances. A photometric transit search excludes companions with siz...
متن کاملTwo Jovian-mass Planets in Earthlike Orbits
We report the discovery of two new planets: a 1.94MJup planet in a 1.8 yr orbit of HD 5319, and a 2.51MJup planet in a 1.1 yr orbit of HD 75898. The measured eccentricities are 0.12 for HD 5319b and 0.10 for HD 75898b, and Markov chainMonte Carlo simulations based on the derived orbital parameters indicate that the radial velocities of both stars are consistent with circular planet orbits.With ...
