- Description:
- In this Letter, I examine several observational trends regarding protoplanetary disks, debris disks, and exoplanets in binary systems in an attempt to constrain the physical mechanisms of planet formation in such a context. Binaries wider than about 100AU are indistinguishable from single stars in all aspects. Binaries in the 5-100AU range, on the other hand, are associated with shorter lived but (at least in some cases) equally massive disks. Furthermore, they form planetesimals and mature planetary systems at a similar rate as wider binaries and single stars, albeit with the peculiarity that they predominantly produce high-mass planets. I posit that the location of a stellar companion influences the relative importance of the core accretion and disk fragmentation planet formation processes, with the latter mechanism being predominant in binaries tighter than 100AU.

- Description:
- We present the results of a direct imaging survey for very large separation (>100 AU), low-mass companions around 95 nearby young K5-L5 stars and brown dwarfs. They are high-likelihood candidates or confirmed members of the young (~<150 Myr) {beta} Pictoris and AB Doradus moving groups (ABDMG) and the TW Hya, Tucana-Horologium, Columba, Carina, and Argus associations. Images in i' and z' filters were obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South to search for companions down to an apparent magnitude of z'~22-24 at separations >~20" from the targets and in the remainder of the wide 5.5'x5.5' GMOS field of view. This allowed us to probe the most distant region where planetary-mass companions could be gravitationally bound to the targets. This region was left largely unstudied by past high-contrast imaging surveys, which probed much closer-in separations. This survey led to the discovery of a planetary-mass (9-13 M_Jup_) companion at 2000 AU from the M3V star GU Psc, a highly probable member of ABDMG. No other substellar companions were identified. These results allowed us to constrain the frequency of distant planetary-mass companions (5-13 M_Jup_) to 0.84_-0.66_^+6.73^% (95% confidence) at semimajor axes between 500 and 5000 AU around young K5-L5 stars and brown dwarfs. This is consistent with other studies suggesting that gravitationally bound planetary-mass companions at wide separations from low-mass stars are relatively rare.

- Pulkovo Visual Double Star Catalogue
- Short Name:
- I/292
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Into the present catalogue the seasonal mean relative positions (rho and theta 2000) are included for 234 visual double stars observed at Pulkovo with 26-inch refractor from 1960 through 2001. This catalogue is a successor of the catalogue dated 1986 [1]. Epoch of equinox is 2000.0. The main aim of these observations is to create the data base for the double star orbit and mass determinations [2]. The stars with the great orbital motion, having longer observation series, were measured in the first line. The photographic and CCD observations of visual double stars are being continued now. The results will be included into the future catalogue. Some stars are accompanied with notes. More full information about visual double stars investigations in the Pulkovo Observatory may be obtained from the articles, the list of references being enclosed.

- Description:
- We present the results of determining the relative positions of the 359 pairs of stars. More then six thousands of plates had been obtained in 1960-2007 years using the 26-inch Zeiss refractor(D=650mm, F=10413mm, scale is 19.80-arcsec/mm) at Pulkovo (code is 084). The plate digitization was carried out using a digital camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the lens 21M Jupiter, the scale was 21um/pixel. The measurements were calibrated using a template which was digitized by means of the Belgian high-precision scanner ROB Digitizer. Results were thoroughly examined for the systematic errors.

- Description:
- The Kepler Mission is searching for Earth-size planets orbiting solar-like stars by simultaneously observing >160000 stars to detect sequences of transit events in the photometric light curves. The Combined Differential Photometric Precision (CDPP) is the metric that defines the ease with which these weak terrestrial transit signatures can be detected. An understanding of CDPP is invaluable for evaluating the completeness of the Kepler survey and inferring the underlying planet population. This paper describes how the Kepler CDPP is calculated, and introduces tables of rms CDPP on a per-target basis for 3-, 6-, and 12-hr transit durations, which are now available for all Kepler observations. Quarter 3 is the first typical set of observations at the nominal length and completeness for a quarter, from 2009 September 18 to 2009 December 16, and we examine the properties of the rms CDPP distribution for this data set. Finally, we describe how to employ CDPP to calculate target completeness, an important use case.

- Radial velocities for 16 hot Jupiter host stars

- Description:
- We provide evidence that the obliquities of stars with close-in giant planets were initially nearly random, and that the low obliquities that are often observed are a consequence of star-planet tidal interactions. The evidence is based on 14 new measurements of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect (for the systems HAT-P-6, HAT-P-7, HAT-P-16, HAT-P-24, HAT-P-32, HAT-P-34, WASP-12, WASP-16, WASP-18, WASP-19, WASP-26, WASP-31, Gl 436, and Kepler-8), as well as a critical review of previous observations. The low-obliquity (well-aligned) systems are those for which the expected tidal timescale is short, and likewise the high-obliquity (misaligned and retrograde) systems are those for which the expected timescale is long. At face value, this finding indicates that the origin of hot Jupiters involves dynamical interactions like planet-planet interactions or the Kozai effect that tilt their orbits rather than inspiraling due to interaction with a protoplanetary disk. We discuss the status of this hypothesis and the observations that are needed for a more definitive conclusion.

- Description:
- We present radial velocities and line bisectors for 12 giants with high Li abundance. We report the discovery of two new planetary systems around HD238914 and TYC3318-01333-1, reveal a binary Li-rich giant HD181368. Although our current phase coverage is not complete, we suggest the presence of planetary mass companions around TYC3663-01966-1 and TYC3105-00152-1. We confirm the previous result for BD+48 740 (Adamow et al, 2012ApJ...754L..15A).

- Description:
- Rotational velocity measurements are presented for a sample of 78 double-lined binary systems with an evolved component. This work is the third part of the large survey carried out with the CORAVEL spectrometer to establish the behavior the rotation for stars evolving off the main sequence (De Medeiros & Mayor, 1999, Cat. <J/A+AS/139/433>; De Medeiros et al. 2002, Cat. <J/A+A/395/97>). Some of the stars show an orbital motion which require some further analysis; the corresponding results will be included in a forthcoming paper. The stars concerned are HD 5303, 82543, 169268, 172088 and 250810.

- Description:
- We present the second paper of a series of publications aiming at obtaining a better understanding regarding the nature of type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) progenitors by studying a large sample of detached F, G and K main-sequence stars in close orbits with white dwarf companions (i.e. WD+FGK binaries). We employ the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) data release 4 spectroscopic data base together with Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) ultraviolet fluxes to identify 1549 WD+FGK binary candidates (1057 of which are new), thus doubling the number of known sources. We measure the radial velocities of 1453 of these binaries from the available LAMOST spectra and/or from spectra obtained by us at a wide variety of different telescopes around the globe. The analysis of the radial velocity data allows us to identify 24 systems displaying more than 3{sigma} radial velocity variation that we classify as close binaries. We also discuss the fraction of close binaries among WD+FGK systems, which we find to be ~10 per cent, and demonstrate that high-resolution spectroscopy is required to efficiently identify double-degenerate SN Ia progenitor candidates.

- Description:
- We present new precise HIRES radial velocity (RV) data sets of five nearby stars obtained at Keck Observatory. HD 31253, HD 218566, HD 177830, HD 99492, and HD 74156 are host stars of spectral classes F through K and show RV variations consistent with new or additional planetary companions in Keplerian motion. The orbital parameters of the candidate planets in the five planetary systems span minimum masses of Msini=27.43M_{sun}_ to 8.28M_J_, periods of 17.05-4696.95 days and eccentricities ranging from circular to extremely eccentric (e~0.63). The fifth star, HD 74156, was known to have both a 52 day and a 2500 day planet, and was claimed to also harbor a third planet at 336 days, in apparent support of the "Packed Planetary System" hypothesis. Our greatly expanded data set for HD 74156 provides strong confirmation of both the 52 day and 2500 day planets, but strongly contradicts the existence of a 336 day planet, and offers no significant evidence for any other planets in the system.
