Analytic approximations for transit light curve observables, uncertainties, and covariances
Carter, Joshua Adam; Yee, Jennifer C.; Eastman, Jason; Gaudi, B. Scott; Winn, Joshua Nathan (Cambridge University Press, 2009-02)The light curve of an exoplanetary transit can be used to estimate the planetary radius and other parameters of interest. Because accurate parameter estimation is a non-analytic and computationally intensive problem, it ... -
HD 202772A b: A Transiting Hot Jupiter around a Bright, Mildly Evolved Star in a Visual Binary Discovered by TESS
Wang, Songhu; Jones, Matias; Shporer, Avi; Fulton, Benjamin J.; Paredes, Leonardo A.; e.a. (American Astronomical Society / IOP Publishing, 2019-01)We report the first confirmation of a hot Jupiter discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission: HD 202772A b. The transit signal was detected in the data from TESS Sector 1, and was confirmed to ... -
Multiwavelength Transit Observations of the Candidate Disintegrating Planetesimals Orbiting WD 1145+017
Croll, Bryce; Dalba, Paul A.; Vanderburg, Andrew; Eastman, Jason; DeVore, John; e.a. (IOP Publishing, 2017-02)We present multiwavelength, ground-based follow-up photometry of the white dwarf WD 1145+017, which has recently been suggested to be orbited by up to six or more short-period, low-mass, disintegrating planetesimals. We ...
