Optical Observations of GRO J1655?40 in Quiescence. I. A Precise Mass for the Black Hole Primary
We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the black hole binary GRO J1655-40 in complete quiescence. In contrast to the 1995 photometry, the light curves from 1996 are almost completely…
A closely packed system of low-mass, low-density planets transiting Kepler-11
TLDR
Kepler spacecraft observations of a single Sun-like star are reported that reveal six transiting planets, five with orbital periods between 10 and 47 days and a sixth planet with a longer period, among the smallest for which mass and size have both been measured.
THE MASS OF THE BLACK HOLE IN CYGNUS X-1
Cygnus X-1 is a binary star system that is comprised of a black hole and a massive giant companion star in a tight orbit. Building on our accurate distance measurement reported in the preceding…
THE TRIGONOMETRIC PARALLAX OF CYGNUS X-1
We report a direct and accurate measurement of the distance to the X-ray binary Cygnus X-1, which contains the first black hole to be discovered. The distance of 1.86{sup +0.12}{sub -0.11} kpc was…
Kepler-16: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet
TLDR
The detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars, comparable to Saturn in mass and size and on a nearly circular 229-day orbit around its two parent stars, suggests that the planet formed within a circumbinary disk.
KEPLER ECLIPSING BINARY STARS. I. CATALOG AND PRINCIPAL CHARACTERIZATION OF 1879 ECLIPSING BINARIES IN THE FIRST DATA RELEASE
The Kepler space mission is devoted to finding Earth-size planets orbiting other stars in their habitable zones. Its large, 105 deg2 field of view features over 156,000 stars that are observed…
The optical light curves of Cygnus X-2 (V1341 Cyg) and the mass of its neutron star
We present U, B and V light curves (taken from the literature) of the low-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-2. We show that the most significant photometric periods seen in the B and V light curves are…
KEPLER ECLIPSING BINARY STARS. II. 2165 ECLIPSING BINARIES IN THE SECOND DATA RELEASE
The Kepler Mission provides nearly continuous monitoring of ~156,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. Coincident with the first data release, we presented a catalog of 1879 eclipsing…
Dynamical Evidence for a Black Hole in the Microquasar XTE J1550-564
Optical spectroscopic observations of the companion star (type G8 IV to K4 III) in the microquasar system XTE J1550-564 reveal a radial velocity curve with a best-fitting spectroscopic period of Psp…
Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition From Gaseous to Rocky Planets
We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7 revealed by precise…
