Searching for Inflow Towards Massive Starless Clump Candidates Identified in the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey
Jenny Calahan, Yancy Shirley, Brian Svoboda +22
Recent Galactic plane surveys of dust continuum emission at long wavelengths have identified a population of dense, massive clumps with no evidence for on-going star formation. The…
paired: A Statistical Framework for Detecting Stellar Binarity with Gaia RVs. I. Sensitivity to Unresolved Binaries
Quadry Chance, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, Sarah Ballard +3
Data Release 3 (DR3) from the Gaia Mission includes radial velocity measurements of over 33 million targets. Among many scientific applications, the overlap of this stellar sample…
The TESS Triple-9 Catalog: 999 uniformly vetted candidate exoplanets
Luca Cacciapuoti, Veselin B. Kostov, Marc Kuchner +20
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has detected thousands of exoplanet candidates since 2018, most of which have yet to be confirmed. A key step in the confirmation p…
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…
Signatures of impact-driven atmospheric loss in large ensembles of exoplanets
Quadry Chance, Sarah Ballard, Keivan Stassun
The results of large-scale exoplanet transit surveys indicate that the distribution of small planet radii is likely sculpted by atmospheric loss. Several possible physical mechanis…
Evidence that Planets in the Radius Gap Do Not Resemble Their Neighbors
Quadry Chance, Sarah Ballard
Planets in compact multi-transiting systems tend to exhibit self-similarity with their neighbors, a phenomenon commonly called ``peas-in-a-pod.'' Previous studies have identified t…
