    • Bayesian search for low-mass planets around nearby M dwarfs – estimates for occurrence rate based on global ... 
      Tuomi, Mikko; Jones, Hugh R. A.; Barnes, John R.; Anglada Escudé, Guillem; Jenkins, James Stewart (Oxford University Press, 2014)
      Due to their higher planet–star mass ratios, M dwarfs are the easiest targets for detection of low-mass planets orbiting nearby stars using Doppler spectroscopy. Furthermore, because of their low masses and luminosities, ...
    • A dynamically-packed planetary system around GJ 667C with three super-Earths in its habitable zone 
      Anglada Escudé, Guillem; Tuomi, Mikko; Gerlach, Enrico; Barnes, Rory; Heller, René; Jenkins, James Stewart; Wende, Sebastian; Vogt, Steven S.; Butler, R. Paul; Reiners, Ansgar; Jones, Hugh R. A. (EDP Sciences, 2013-08)
      Context. Since low-mass stars have low luminosities, orbits at which liquid water can exist on Earth-sized planets are relatively close-in, which produces Doppler signals that are detectable using state-of-the-art Doppler ...
    • WISEP J061135.13–041024.0 AB: A J-band Flux Reversal Binary at the L/T Transition 
      Gelino, Cristopher E.; Smart, R.L.; Marocco, Federico; Kirkpatrick, J. Davy; Cushing, Michael C.; Mace, Gregory N.; Méndez Bussard, René Alejandro; Tinney, C. G.; Jones, Hugh R. A. (The American Astronomical Society, 2014-05-28)
      We present Keck II laser guide star adaptive optics observations of the brown dwarf WISEP J061135.13−041024.0 showing it is a binary with a component separation of 0. 4. This system is one of the six known resolved ...
