Three Statistically Validated K2 Transiting Warm Jupiter Exoplanets Confirmed as Low-mass Stars
We have identified three K2 transiting star-planet systems, K2-51 (EPIC 202900527), K2-67 (EPIC 206155547), and K2-76 (EPIC 206432863), as stellar binaries with low-mass stellar secondaries. The three systems were statistically validated as transiting planets, and through measuring their orbits by radial velocity monitoring we have derived the companion masses to …
