Title: Probing The Northern Ecliptic Pole For Terrestrial Exoplanets And Stellar Mirages

PI: Robertson, Paul - University Of California (Irvine)

Type: SMALL

Summary: We propose to acquire 2-minute cadence photometry of 29 bright stars near the northern ecliptic pole. We are simultaneously monitoring these stars in radial velocity (RV) using the Automated Planet Finder (APF). TESS's long-baseline lightcurves for these stars increase the period sensitivity to transits and provide a probe of stellar activity, which will improve models of the APF RVs and aid in the discovery of terrestrial exoplanets. The combined TESS-APF observations also offer unique sensitivity to stellar mirages, brightening events caused by refraction in a planet s atmosphere. We have already identified two exoplanets that are excellent candidates to exhibit mirages. If TESS observations confirm mirages, it will open a new window to exoplanet atmosphere characterization with JWST.
