Sentences with phrase «projected angular separation»

The dilution of the host star's light by the nearly equal magnitude stellar companion (~ 0.5 magnitudes fainter) significantly affects the derived planetary parameters, and if left uncorrected, leads to an underestimate of the radius and mass of the planet by 10 %... ▽ More We present the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual (0.3» sky projected angular separation) binary system.

From low - resolution optical and near - IR spectroscopy we classified the primary and the companion as an M7.5 +... ▽ More In a search for common proper motion companions using the VISTA Hemisphere Survey and 2MASS catalogs we have identified a very red (J - Ks = 2.47 mag) late - L dwarf companion of a previously unrecognized M dwarf VHS J125601.92 - 125723.9, located at a projected angular separation of 8.06» + / -0.03».
