In the spring of 2009, the Kepler Mission commenced high-precision photometry on nearly 156,000 stars to determine the frequency and characteristics of small exoplanets, conduct a guest observer program, and obtain ...

The Spin-Orbit Alignment of the HD 17156 Transiting Eccentric Planetary System

Cochran, William D.; Redfield, Seth; Endl, Michael; Cochran, Anita L. (2008-08)

We present high- precision radial velocity observations of HD 17156 during a transit of its eccentric Jovian planet. In these data, we detect the Rossiter- McLaughlin effect, which is an apparent perturbation in the velocity ...

The Pan-Pacific Planet Search. II. Confirmation Of A Two-Planet System Around Hd 121056

Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Wang, Lifan; Liu, Fan; Horner, Jonathan; Endl, Michael; Johnson, John A.; Tinney, C. G.; Carter, B. D. (2015-02)

Precise radial velocities from the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) confirm the presence of a rare short-period planet around the K0 giant HD 121056. An independent two-planet solution using the AAT data shows that the ...
