The planetary system K2-24 is composed of two transiting low-density Neptunians locked in an almost perfect 2:1 resonance and showing large transit time...
The K2-ESPRINT Project I: Discovery of the Disintegrating Rocky Planet K2-22b with a Cometary Head and Leading Tail
We present the discovery of a transiting exoplanet candidate in the K2 Field-1 with an orbital period of 9.1457 hr: K2-22b. The highly variable transit depths...
The K2-ESPRINT Project III: A Close-in Super-Earth around a Metal-rich Mid-M Dwarf
We validate a {R}p=2.32+/- 0.24{R}\oplus planet on a close-in orbit (P = 2.260455 ± 0.000041 days) around K2-28 (EPIC 206318379), a metal-rich M4-type dwarf in...
The K2-ESPRINT Project IV. A Hot Jupiter in a Prograde Orbit with a Possible Stellar Companion
We report on the detection and early characterization of a hot Jupiter in a three day orbit around K2-34 (EPIC 212110888), a metal-rich F-type star located in...
The K2-ESPRINT Project V: A Short-period Giant Planet Orbiting a Subgiant Star*
We report on the discovery and characterization of the transiting planet K2-39b (EPIC 206247743b). With an orbital period of 4.6 days, it is the shortest-period...
The K2-ESPRINT Project. II. Spectroscopic Follow-up of Three Exoplanet Systems from Campaign 1 of K2
We report on Doppler observations of three transiting planet candidates that were detected during Campaign 1 of the K2 mission. The Doppler observations were...
The K2-ESPRINT project. VI. K2-105 b, a hot Neptune around a metal-rich G-dwarf
We report on the confirmation that the candidate transits observed for the star EPIC 211525389 are due to a short-period Neptune-sized planet. The host star...
The Kennicutt-Schmidt Relation in Extremely Metal-Poor Dwarf Galaxies
The Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relation between the gas mass and star formation rate (SFR) describes the star formation regulation in disk galaxies. It is a...
The Kepler characterization of the variability among A- and F-type stars. I. General overview
Context. The Kepler spacecraft is providing time series of photometric data with micromagnitude precision for hundreds of A-F type stars. Aims: We present a...
