Old, Rich, and Eccentric: Two Jovian Planets Orbiting Evolved Metal-Rich Stars (2009)
Peek, Kathryn M. G., Johnson, John Asher, Fischer, Debra A., Marcy, Geoffrey W., Henry, Gregory W., Howard, Andrew W., ...
We present radial velocity measurements of two stars observed as part of the Lick Subgiants Planet Search and the Keck N2K survey. Variations in the radial velocities of both stars reveal the...
Training the Next Generation of Astronomers (2009)
Williams, Peter K. G., Huff, Eric, Maness, Holly, Modjaz, Maryam, Shapiro, Kristen L., Silverman, Jeffrey M., ...
While both society and astronomy have evolved greatly over the past fifty years, the academic institutions and incentives that shape our field have remained largely stagnant. As a result, the...
Measurement of the Spin-Orbit Angle of Exoplanet HAT-P-1b (2008)
Johnson, John A., Winn, Joshua N., Narita, Norio, Enya, Keigo, Williams, Peter K. G., Marcy, Geoffrey W., ...
We present new spectroscopic and photometric observations of the HAT-P-1 planetary system. Spectra obtained during three transits exhibit the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, allowing us to measure the...
Johnson, John A., Marcy, Geoffrey W., Fischer, Debra A., Wright, Jason T., Reffert, Sabine, Kregenow, Julia M., ...
We report precise Doppler measurements of two evolved stars, kappa CrB (HD142091) and HD 167042, obtained at Lick Observatory as part of our search for planets orbiting intermediate-mass subgiants....
The Transit Light Curve Project. VII. The Not-So-Bloated Exoplanet HAT-P-1b (2007)
Winn, Joshua N, Holman, Matthew J, Bakos, Gaspar Á, Pál, András, Johnson, John Asher, Williams, Peter K G, ...
We present photometry of the G0 star HAT-P-1 during six transits of its close-in giant planet, and we refine the estimates of the system parameters. Relative to Jupiter's properties, HAT-P-1b is 1.20...
The Transit Light Curve Project. VII. The Not-So-Bloated Exoplanet HAT-P-1b (2007)
Winn, Joshua N., Holman, Matthew J., Bakos, Gaspar A., Pal, Andras, Johnson, John Asher, Williams, Peter K. G., ...
We present photometry of the G0 star HAT-P-1 during six transits of its close-in giant planet, and we refine the estimates of the system parameters. Relative to Jupiter's properties, HAT-P-1b is 1.20...
Resolving the Surfaces of Extrasolar Planets With Secondary Eclipse Light Curves (2006)
Williams, Peter K. G., Charbonneau, David, Cooper, Curtis S., Showman, Adam P., Fortney, Jonathan J.
We present a method that employs the secondary eclipse light curves of transiting extrasolar planets to probe the spatial variation of their thermal emission. This technique permits an observer to...
