For ten years, planets around stars similar to the Sun have been discovered, confirmed, and their properties studied. Planets have been found in a variety of environments previously thought impossible. The results have revolutionized the way in which scientists understand planet and star formation and evolution, and provide context for the roles of the Earth and our own solar system. Over half of star systems contain more than one stellar component. Despite this, binary stars have often been avoided by programs searching for planets. Discovery of giant planets in compact binary systems would indirectly probe the timescales of planet formation, an important quantity in determining by which processes planets form. A new observing method has been developed to perform very high precision differntial astrometry on bright binary stars with separations in the range of 0.1 - 1.0 arcseconds. Typical measurement precisions over an hour of integration are on the order of 10 micro-arcseconds (as), enabling one to look for perturbations to the Keplerian orbit that would indicate the presence of additional components to the system. This method is used as the basis for a new program to find extrasolar planets. The Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems (PHASES) is a search for giant planets orbiting either star in 50 binary systems. The goal of this search is to detect or rule out planets in the systems observed and thus place limits on any enhancements of planet formation in binaries. It is also used to measure fundamental properties of the stars comprising the binary, such as masses and distances, useful for constraining stellar models at the 10-3 level.
(cont.) This method of differential astrometry is applied to three star systems. Equulei is among the most well-studied nearby binary star systems. Results of its observation have been applied to a wide range of fundamental studies of binary systems and stellar astrophysics. PHASES data are combined with previously published radial velocity data and other previously published differential astrometry measurements to produce a combined model for the system orbit. The distance to the system is determined to within a twentieth of a parsec and the component masses are determined at the level of a percent. n Pegasi is a well-known, nearby triple star system consisting of a "wide" pair with semi-major axis 235 milli-arcseconds, one component of which is a single-line spectroscopic binary (semi-major axis 2.5 milli-arcseconds). Using high-precision differential astrometry and radial velocity observations, the masses for all three components are determined and the relative inclination between the wide and narrow pairs' orbits is found to be 43.8 ± 3.0 degrees, just over the threshold for the three body Kozai resonance. The system distance is determined to a fifth of a parsec, and is consistent with trigonometric parallax measurements. V819 Herculis is a well-studied triple star system consisting of a "wide" pair with 5.5 year period, one component of which is a 2.2-day period eclipsing single-line spectroscopic binary. Differential astrometry measurements from PHASES determine the relative inclination of the short- and long-period orbits. Finally, the prospects for finding planets that simultaneously circle both stars in a binary system are evaluated. Planet searches of this type would represent a complementary investigation to PHASES and contribute similar scientific results.

We present a new method to retrieve molecular abundances and temperature profiles from exoplanet atmosphere photometry and spectroscopy. Our method allows us to run millions of 1-D atmosphere models in order to cover the large range of allowed parameter space. In order to run such a large number of models, we have developed a parametric pressure-temperature (P-T) profile coupled with line-by-line radiative transfer, hydrostatic equilibrium, and energy balance, along with prescriptions for non-equilibrium molecular composition and energy redistribution. The major difference from traditional 1-D radiative transfer models is the parametric P-T profile, which essentially means adopting energy balance only at the top of the atmosphere and not in each layer. We see the parametric P-T model as a parallel approach to the traditional exoplanet atmosphere models that rely on several free parameters to encompass unknown absorbers and energy redistribution. The parametric P-T profile captures the basic physical features of temperature structures in planetary atmospheres (including temperature inversions), and reproduces a wide range of published P-T profiles, including those of solar system planets. We apply our temperature and abundance retrieval method to two exoplanets which have the best data available, HD 189733b and HD 209458b. For each planet, we compute - 107 atmospheric spectra on a grid in the parameter space, and report contours of the error surface, given the data. For the day-side of HD 189733b, we place constraints on the atmospheric properties based on three different data sets available. Our best-fit models to one of the data sets allow for very efficient daynight energy redistribution in HD 189733b. The different constraints on molecular abundances confirm the presence of H20, CH4 , CO and CO 2 in HD 189733b. Our results also rule out the presence of a thermal inversion in this planet. The model constraints due to the different data sets indicate that the planetary atmosphere is variable, both, in its energy redistribution state and in the chemical abundances. The variability is evident in the data; some key observations with different instruments at the same wavelength differ at the - 2- level. If, on the other hand, the differences in data represent underestimated errors, and if all the data sets have to be reconciled simultaneously, then we are unable to make specific constraints on the molecular abundances or on the temperature profile, beyond identification of molecules and the presence or absence of a thermal inversion. For HD 209458b, we confirm and constrain a thermal inversion in the day-side atmosphere, and the data allows for very efficient day-night redistribution of energy. We report detection of CO, CH4 and CO 2 on the dayside of HD 209458b, along with placing an upper-limit on the amount of H2 0. We also report atmospheric models for three transiting exoplanets with limited data: TrES-2, HAT-P-7b, GJ 436b. For TrES-2 and HAT-P-7b, where only four observations each are available, we find that the data can be fit with models with and without thermal inversions, if we make no assumptions of chemical equilibrium. Finally, in this work, we report the first steps towards developing a parameter estimation procedure for exoplanetary atmospheres. We demonstrate with simulated data that our model can be used with a formal Bayesian parameter estimation algorithm, like MCMC, to place constraints on the atmospheric properties of hot Jupiters.
