The First Habitable Zone Earth-sized Planet from TESS. I: Validation of the TOI-700 System
Emily A. Gilbert, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder +92
We present the discovery and validation of a three-planet system orbiting the nearby (31.1 pc) M2 dwarf star TOI-700 (TIC 150428135). TOI-700 lies in the TESS continuous viewing zo…
Catsteroseismology: Survey-based Analysis of Purr-mode Oscillations Suggests Inner Lives of Cats are Unknowable
Rae Holcomb, Christopher Lam
Catsteroseismology, or asterocatsmology, is an unexplored area of observational and theoretical research that proposes to use purr-mode oscillations to study the much-beloved but p…
Distribution Theoretic Semantics for Non-Smooth Differentiable Programming
Pedro H. Azevedo de Amorim, Christopher Lam
With the wide spread of deep learning and gradient descent inspired optimization algorithms, differentiable programming has gained traction. Nowadays it has found applications in m…
A machine learns to predict the stability of circumbinary planets
Christopher Lam, David Kipping
Long-period circumbinary planets appear to be as common as those orbiting single stars and have been found to frequently have orbital radii just beyond the critical distance for dy…
Transit Clairvoyance: Enhancing TESS follow-up using artificial neural networks
David M. Kipping, Christopher Lam
The upcoming TESS mission is expected to find thousands of transiting planets around bright stars, yet for three-quarters of the fields observed the temporal coverage will limit di…
The Orbital Eccentricity-Radius Relation for Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs
Sheila Sagear, Sarah Ballard, Gregory J. Gilbert +2
The orbital eccentricity-radius relation for small planets is indicative of the predominant dynamical sculpting processes during late-stage orbital evolution. Previous studies have…
