Abstract:
We report the discovery of two super-Earth-sized planets transiting
the bright (V=8.94, K=7.07) nearby late G-dwarf HD 3167, using data
collected by the K2 mission. The inner planet, HD 3167 b, has a radius
of 1.6R⊕ and an ultra-short orbital period of only 0.96d. The
outer planet, HD 3167 c, has a radius of 2.9R⊕ and orbits its
host star every 29.85 days. At a distance of just 45.8±2.2pc, HD3167
is one of the closest and brightest stars hosting multiple transiting
planets, making HD 3167 b and c well suited for follow-up
observations. The star is chromospherically inactive with low
rotational line-broadening, ideal for radial velocity observations to
measure the planets' masses. The outer planet is large enough that it
likely has a thick gaseous envelope that could be studied via
transmission spectroscopy. Planets transiting bright, nearby stars
like HD 3167 are valuable objects to study leading up to the launch of
the James Webb Space Telescope.
Description:
Kepler observed HD 3167 between 2016 January 3 and March 23 during
Campaign 8 of its K2 mission.
We observed HD 3167 with the Tillinghast Reflector Echelle
Spectrograph (TRES) on the 1.5m telescope at the Fred L. Whipple
Observatory on Mt. Hopkins, AZ. We acquired one spectrum with a
spectral resolving power of R=44000 on 2016 July 11.
We observed HD 3167 with the Robo-AO adaptive optics system installed
at the 2.1m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. We observed
HD 3167 with an i'-band filter on 2016 July 11, taking images at a
rate of 8.6Hz for a total of 120s.

Description of file: hd3167robo-ao.fits
The Robo-AO image of HD 3167 in FITS.
The exposure time was 120 seconds and the filter was i'-band. The
image is composed of many 116ms exposures which were shifted and
coadded in post-processing using HD 3167 as a tip/tilt guide star.
