Telescope transit light curve for GJ 436 b
We present time series photometry for six partial transits of GJ 436b obtained with the Fine Guidance Sensor instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Our analysis of these data yields independent estimates of the host star's radius R ⋆ = 0.505
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 کاملObservational Consequences of the Recently Proposed Super - Earth Orbiting GJ 436
Ribas and collaborators have recently proposed that an additional, ∼ 5 M ⊕ planet orbits the transiting planet host star GJ 436. Long-term dynamical interactions between the two planets leading to eccentricity excitation might provide an explanation for the transiting planet's unexpectedly large orbital eccentricity. In this paper we examine whether the existence of such a second planet is supp...
متن کاملGJ 581 update: Additional evidence for a Super-Earth in the habitable zone
GJ 581 update: Additional evidence for a Super-Earth in the habitable zone" (2012). Key words methods: numerical – planetary systems –stars: individual (GJ 581, HIP 74995) – techniques: radial velocities We present an analysis of the significantly expanded HARPS 2011 radial velocity data set for GJ 581 that was presented by Forveille et al. (2011). Our analysis reaches substantially different c...
متن کاملGround - Based Transit Spectroscopy of the Hot - Jupiter Wasp - 19 B in the near - Infrared
We present ground-based measurements of the transmission and emission spectra of the hot-Jupiter WASP-19b in nine spectroscopic channels from 1.25 to 2.35μm. The measurements are based on the combined analysis of time-series spectroscopy obtained during two complete transits and two complete secondary eclipses of the planet. The observations were performed with the MMIRS instrument on the Magel...
