The Life Cycle of an XO Planet and the Potential to Detect Transiting Planets of M Dwarfs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe strategies and tactics for detecting transiting planets, as learned from the experience of the XO Project. A key component is the web-enabled collaboration with a longitudinally-distributed Extended Team of dedicated volunteers operating small-aperture telescopes near their homes. We also quantify the (small) potential to discover transiting planets of M dwarfs from existing data such as that obtained by the XO Project.

Constraints on Planet Occurrence Around Nearby Mid-to-Late M Dwarfs From the Mearth Project
The MEarth Project is a ground-based photometric survey intended to find planets transiting the closest and smallest main-sequence stars. In its first four years, MEarth discovered one transiting exoplanet, the 2.7R⊕ planet GJ1214b. Here, we answer an outstanding question: in light of the bounty of small planets transiting small stars uncovered by the Kepler mission, should MEarth have found mo...
متن کاملDoctoral Dissertation Proposal Planets around Cool Stars: A Spectroscopic and Photometric Study of M Dwarfs and their Planets
I propose to carry out a systematic investigation of planet harboring M dwarfs. Specifically, over the course of my thesis I will: i) develop and refine a new highprecision method of sub-millimagnitude “snapshot” photometry to help discover and investigate more transiting planets; ii) apply this method to differential spectroscopy; iii) calibrate existing M dwarf metallicity estimates with FGK ...
متن کاملSearch for a habitable terrestrial planet transiting the nearby red dwarf GJ 1214⋆
High-precision eclipse spectrophotometry of transiting terrestrial exoplanets represents a promising path for the first atmospheric characterizations of habitable worlds and the search for life outside our solar system. The detection of terrestrial planets transiting nearby late-type M-dwarfs could make this approach applicable within the next decade, with soon-to-come general facilities. In th...
متن کاملThe Occurrence Rate of Small Planets around Small Stars
We use the optical and near-infrared photometry from the Kepler Input Catalog to provide improved estimates of the stellar characteristics of the smallest stars in the Kepler target list. We find 3897 dwarfs with temperatures below 4000K, including 64 planet candidate host stars orbited by 95 transiting planet candidates. We refit the transit events in the Kepler light curves for these planet c...
متن کاملThe Use of Transit Timing to Detect Extrasolar Planets with Masses as Small as Earth
Future surveys for transiting extrasolar planets, including the space-based mission Kepler (1), are expected to detect hundreds of Jovian mass planets and tens of terrestrial mass planets. For many of these newly discovered planets, the intervals between successive transits will be measured with an accuracy of 0.1–100 minutes. We show that these timing measurements will allow for the detection ...
