We present precise radial velocity observations of WASP-47, a star known to host a hot Jupiter, a distant Jovian companion, and, uniquely, two additional...
Precise measurement of WASP-31 b's Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and characterization of the planet transmission spectra
Context. Hot Jupiters are ideal natural laboratories to investigate atmospheric composition and dynamics. However, high-resolution transmission spectroscopy is...
Precise radial velocities of giant stars. IX. HD 59686 Ab: a massive circumstellar planet orbiting a giant star in a 13.6 au eccentric binary system
Context. For over 12 yr, we have carried out a precise radial velocity (RV) survey of a sample of 373 G- and K-giant stars using the Hamilton Échelle...
Precise radial velocities of giant stars. XIII. A second Jupiter orbiting in 4:3 resonance in the 7 CMa system
We report the discovery of a second planet orbiting the K giant star 7 CMa based on 166 high-precision radial velocities obtained with Lick, HARPS, UCLES, and...
Precise radial velocities of giant stars. XV. Mysterious nearly periodic radial velocity variations in the eccentric binary ε Cygni
Context. Using the Hamilton Échelle Spectrograph at Lick Observatory, we have obtained precise radial velocities (RVs) of a sample of 373 G- and K-giant stars...
Precise radial velocities of giant stars: XVII. Distinguishing planets from intrinsically induced radial velocity signals in evolved stars
Context. From a long-term Doppler monitoring campaign of 373 giant stars, we have identified ten giants with periodic radial velocity variations that are...
Precise surface gravities of δ Scuti stars from asteroseismology
The work reported here demonstrates that it is possible to accurately determine surface gravities of δ Scuti (δ Sct) stars using the frequency content from high...
Precision Determination of Corotation Radii in Galaxy Disks: Tremaine–Weinberg versus Font–Beckman for NGC 3433
Density waves in galaxy disks have been proposed over the years, in a variety of specific models, to explain spiral arm structure and its relation to the mass...
Precision Ephemerides for Gravitational Wave Searches. II. Cyg X-2
Accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries are candidate high-frequency persistent gravitational wave sources. These may be detectable with next...
