High five from ASTEP: Three validated planets and two eclipsing binaries in a diverse set of long-period candidates

Erika Rea, Maximilian N. Günther, George Dransfield +44

We present the analysis of five long-period TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs), all orbiting Sun-like stars, with orbital periods exceeding one month. Initially identified by the Tran…

The Spin-Orbit Alignment of 8 Warm Gas Giant Systems

Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Andrés Jordán, Rafael Brahm +9

Essential information about the formation and evolution of planetary systems can be found in their architectures -- in particular, in stellar obliquity () -- as they serve as a…

POSEIDON I: The Dynamical Origins of Transiting Neptunes

Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Joshua N. Winn, Rafael Brahm +17

We present the first results from the POSEIDON survey, aimed at constraining the dynamical origins of transiting Neptunes through stellar obliquity measurements. We report Rossiter…

A Compact Multi-Planet System of Three Transiting Giant Planets Around TIC118798035

Rafael Brahm, Trifon Trifonov, Andrés Jordán +20

We report the discovery and characterization of three transiting giant planets in the TIC118798035 system. The three planets were identified as transiting candidates from data of t…

HATS-38 b and WASP-139 b join a growing group of hot Neptunes on polar orbits

Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Guðmundur Stefánsson, Cristobal Petrovich +9

We constrain the sky-projected obliquities of two low-density hot Neptune planets, HATS-38 b and WASP-139 b, orbiting nearby G and K stars using Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) observatio…

The Aligned Orbit of the Eccentric Proto Hot Jupiter TOI-3362b

Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Rafael Brahm, Cristobal Petrovich +8

High-eccentricity tidal migration predicts the existence of highly eccentric proto-hot Jupiters on the "tidal circularization track," meaning that they might eventually become hot…

TOI-2525 b and c: A pair of massive warm giant planets with a strong transit timing variations revealed by TESS

Trifon Trifonov, Rafael Brahm, Andres Jordan +44

TOI-2525 is a K-type star with an estimated mass of M = 0.849 M and radius of R = 0.785 R observed by the TESS mission in 22…

TIC65910228b: A single-transit discovery of a massive long-period warm Jupiter with TESS

Felipe I. Rojas, Rafael Brahm, Matías I. Jones +27

Context. Warm Jupiters are excellent case studies for the investigation of giant planet internal structures and formation theories. However, the sample of long-period transiting gi…

Evidence for Low-Level Dynamical Excitation in Near-Resonant Exoplanet Systems

Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang +18

The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely…

Three Warm Jupiters orbiting TOI-6628, TOI-3837, TOI-5027 and one sub-Saturn orbiting TOI-2328

Marcelo Tala Pinto, Andrés Jordán, Lorena Acuña +35

We report the discovery and characterization of three new transiting giant planets orbiting TOI-6628, TOI-3837 and TOI-5027, and one new warm sub-Saturn orbiting TOI-2328, whose tr…

A long-period transiting substellar companion in the super-Jupiters to brown dwarfs mass regime and a prototypical warm-Jupiter detected by TESS

Matias I. Jones, Yared Reinarz, Rafael Brahm +48

We report on the confirmation and follow-up characterization of two long-period transiting substellar companions on low-eccentricity orbits around TIC 4672985 and TOI-2529, whose t…
