Gaia-4b and 5b: Radial Velocity Confirmation of Gaia Astrometric Orbital Solutions Reveal a Massive Planet and a Brown Dwarf Orbiting Low-mass Stars

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Gaia astrometry of nearby stars is precise enough to detect the tiny displacements induced by substellar companions, but radial velocity (RV) data are needed for definitive confirmation.

ExoMOD. I. A Forward Model for the Orbital Architecture of Kepler Multiplanet Systems

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Transit observations only detect planets with favorable, near edge-on orientation of orbits as seen by a distant observer, which leaves much freedom for various interpretations in terms of the underlying planetary system architecture.

A Candidate Giant Planet Companion to the Massive, Young White Dwarf GALEX J071816.4+373139 Informs the Occurrence of Giant Planets Orbiting B Stars

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
It has been suggested that giant planet occurrence peaks for stars with M _*  ≈ 3 M _⊙ at a value a factor of 4 higher than observed for solar-mass stars.

A full implementation of spectro-perfectionism for precise radial velocity exoplanet detection: a test case with the MINERVA reduction pipeline

open access: yes, 2019
We present a computationally tractable implementation of spectro-perfectionism, a method which minimizes error imparted by spectral extraction. We develop our method in conjunction with a full raw reduction pipeline for the MINiature Exoplanet Radial ...

The Interpolation Constraint in the RV Analysis of M Dwarfs Using Empirical Templates

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Precise radial velocity (pRV) measurements of M dwarfs in the near-infrared rely on empirical templates due to the lack of accurate stellar spectral models in this regime.
