Catalog of Nearby Exoplanets
- R. P. Butler, J. Wright, A. Penny
- Geology, Physics
- 20 July 2006
We present a catalog of nearby exoplanets. It contains the 172 known low-mass companions with orbits established through radial velocity and transit measurements around stars within 200 pc. We…
Chromospheric Ca II Emission in Nearby F, G, K, and M Stars
- J. Wright, G. Marcy, R. P. Butler, S. Vogt
- Physics, Geology
- 24 February 2004
We present chromospheric Ca II H and K activity measurements, rotation periods, and ages for ∼1200 F, G, K, and M type main-sequence stars from ∼18,000 archival spectra taken at Keck and Lick…
Radial Velocity Jitter in Stars from the California and Carnegie Planet Search at Keck Observatory
- J. Wright
- Physics, Geology
- 11 May 2005
I present an empirical model for predicting a star’s radial velocity jitter from its B - V color, activity level, and absolute magnitude. This model is based on observations of ∼450 well‐observed…
THE FREQUENCY OF HOT JUPITERS ORBITING NEARBY SOLAR-TYPE STARS
- J. Wright, G. Marcy, A. Howard, J. Johnson, T. Morton, D. Fischer
- Geology, Physics
- 10 May 2012
We determine the fraction of F, G, and K dwarfs in the solar neighborhood hosting hot Jupiters as measured by the California Planet Survey from the Lick and Keck planet searches. We find the rate to…
TEN NEW AND UPDATED MULTIPLANET SYSTEMS AND A SURVEY OF EXOPLANETARY SYSTEMS
- J. Wright, S. Upadhyay, G. Marcy, D. Fischer, E. Ford, J. Johnson
- Geology, Physics
- 8 December 2008
We present the latest velocities for ten multiplanet systems, including a re-analysis of archival Keck and Lick data, resulting in improved velocities that supersede our previously published…
Do We Know of Any Maunder Minimum Stars?
- J. Wright
- Physics, Geology
- 15 June 2004
Most stars previously identified as Maunder minimum stars are old and evolved off the main sequence. Analysis of activity measurements from the California and Carnegie Planet Search program stars and…
ABSOLUTE-MAGNITUDE DISTRIBUTIONS OF SUPERNOVAE
- D. Richardson, Robert L. Jenkins III, J. Wright, L. Maddox
- Physics
- 23 March 2014
The absolute-magnitude distributions of seven supernova (SN) types are presented. The data used here were primarily taken from the Asiago Supernova Catalogue, but were supplemented with additional…
Barycentric Corrections at 1 cm s-1 for Precise Doppler Velocities
- J. Wright, J. Eastman
- Physics, Geology
- 1 September 2014
The goal of this paper is to establish the requirements of a barycentric correction with an rms of ≲1 cm s-1, which is an order of magnitude better than necessary for the Doppler detection of true…
THE Ĝ INFRARED SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATIONS WITH LARGE ENERGY SUPPLIES. II. FRAMEWORK, STRATEGY, AND FIRST RESULT
- J. Wright, R. Griffith, S. Sigurdsson, M. Povich, B. Mullan
- Physics
- 5 August 2014
We describe the framework and strategy of the Ĝ infrared search for extraterrestrial civilizations with large energy supplies, which will use the wide-field infrared surveys of WISE and Spitzer to…
Precise Radial Velocities of 2046 Nearby FGKM Stars and 131 Standards
We present radial velocities with an accuracy of 0.1 km/s for 2046 stars of spectral type F,G,K, and M, based on 29000 spectra taken with the Keck I telescope. We also present 131 FGKM standard…
