Summary

Jason received his PhD. at the University of British Columbia for work on measuring the reflectively of extra-solar planets using photometric measurements from the Canadian MOST Satellite. After his PhD Jason joined the Kepler team as a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow contributing towards the first Kepler discoveries. Jason is current a Research Scientist at the SETI Institute and a member of the Kepler Science-Office. His interests include exoplanet and stellar characterization to help understand the nature of distant worlds.

Stellar modelling of Spica, a high-mass spectroscopic binary with a β Cep variable primary component

Andrew, Tkachenko J M, Matthews Conny, Aerts K, Pavlovski P I, Pápics K, Zwintz C, Cameron Gah, Walker R, Kuschnig P, Degroote ...

Published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

Binary stars provide a valuable test of stellar structure and evolution, because the masses of the individual stellar components can be derived with high accuracy and in a model-independent way. In this work, we study Spica, an eccentric double-lined spectroscopic binary system with a β Cep type variable primary component. We use state-of- the-art ...

False positive probabilities for all Kepler objects of interest: 1284 newly validated planets and 428 likely false posit...

Published in The Astrophysical Journal

We present astrophysical false positive probability calculations for every Kepler Object of Interest (KOI)—the first large-scale demonstration of a fully automated transiting planet validation procedure. Out of 7056 KOIs, we determine that 1935 have probabilities

The Frequency of Giant Impacts on Earth-like Worlds

Elisa Quintana Thomas, Barclay William J, Borucki Jason Rowe John E, Chambers

Published in The Astrophysical Journal

The late stages of terrestrial planet formation are dominated by giant impacts that collectively influence the growth, composition, and habitability of any planets that form. Hitherto, numerical models designed to explore these late stage collisions have been limited by assuming that all collisions lead to perfect accretion, and many of these studi...

Spectroscopy, MOST Photometry, and Interferometry of MWC 314: Is it an LBV or an interacting binary?

Richardson, Noel D. Moffat, Anthony F. J. Maltais-Tariant, Raphaël Pablo, Herbert Gies, Douglas R. Saio, Hideyuki St-Louis, Nicole Schaefer, Gail Miroshnichenko, Anatoly S. Farrington, Chris ...

MWC 314 is a bright candidate luminous blue variable that resides in a fairly close binary system, with an orbital period of 60.753$\pm$0.003 d. We observed MWC 314 with a combination of optical spectroscopy, broad-band ground- and space-based photometry, as well as with long baseline, near-infrared interferometry. We have revised the single-lined ...

A Coordinated X-ray and Optical Campaign of the Nearest Massive Eclipsing Binary, delta Orionis Aa: III. Analysis of Opt...

Pablo, Herbert Richardson, Noel D. Moffat, Anthony F. J. Corcoran, Michael Shenar, Tomer Benvenuto, Omar Fuller, Jim Naze, Yael Hoffman, Jennifer L. Miroshnichenko, Anatoly ...

We report on both high-precision photometry from the MOST space telescope and ground-based spectroscopy of the triple system delta Ori A consisting of a binary O9.5II+early-B (Aa1 and Aa2) with P = 5.7d, and a more distant tertiary (O9 IV P > 400 yrs). This data was collected in concert with X-ray spectroscopy from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Th...

Discovery and Atmospheric Characterization of Giant Planet Kepler-12b: An Inflated Radius Outlier

Fortney, Jonathan J. Demory, Brice-Olivier Desert, Jean-Michel Jason Rowe Marcy, Geoffrey W. Isaacson, Howard Buchhave, Lars A. Ciardi, David Gautier, Thomas N. Batalha, Natalie M. ...

We report the discovery of planet Kepler-12b (KOI-20), which at 1.695\pm0.030 RJ is among the handful of planets with super-inflated radii above 1.65 RJ. Orbiting its slightly evolved G0 host with a 4.438-day period, this 0.431\pm0.041 MJ planet is the least-irradiated within this largest-planet-radius group, which has important implications for pl...

MOST observations of [sigma] Ori E: challenging the centrifugal breakout narrative

David B, Guenther Rhd, Townsend Th, Rivinius Jason Rowe Afj, Moffat J M, Matthews D, Bohlender C, Neiner J H, Telting T, Kallinger ...

We present results from three weeks photometric monitoring of the magnetic helium-strong star [sigma] Ori E using the Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars microsatellite. The star s light curve is dominated by twice-per-rotation eclipse-like dimmings arising when magnetospheric clouds transit across and occult the stellar disk. However, no e...

Non-detection of previously reported transits of HD 97658b with MOST photometry

David B, Guenther Diana, Dragomir Jaymie M, Matthews Andrew W, Howard Victoria, Antoci Gregory W, Henry John A, Johnson Rainer, Kuschnig Geoffrey W, Marcy Anthony F J, Moffat ...

The radial velocity-discovered exoplanet HD 97658b was recently announced to transit, with a derived planetary radius of 2.93±0.28 R⊕. As a transiting super-Earth orbiting a bright star, this planet would make an attractive candidate for additional observations, including studies of its atmospheric properties. We present and analyze follow-up photo...
