A stellar companion in the HD 189733 system with a known transiting extrasolar planet (2006)

Bakos, Gaspar A., Pal, Andras, Latham, David W., Noyes, Robert W., Stefanik, Robert P.

We show that the very close-by (19 pc) K0 star HD 189733, already found to be orbited by a transiting giant planet, is the primary of a double-star system, with the secondary being a mid-M dwarf with...

The Challenge of Wide-Field Transit Surveys: The Case of GSC 01944-02289 (2005)

Mandushev, Georgi, Torres, Guillermo, Latham, David W., Charbonneau, David, Alonso, Roi, White, Russel J., ...

Wide-field searches for transiting extra-solar giant planets face the difficult challenge of separating true transit events from the numerous false positives caused by isolated or blended eclipsing...
