The TESS-Keck Survey XVII: Precise Mass Measurements in a Young, High Multiplicity Transiting Planet System using Radial Velocities and Transit Timing Variations
Corey Beard, Paul Robertson, Fei Dai +41
We present a radial velocity (RV) analysis of TOI-1136, a bright TESS system with six confirmed transiting planets, and a seventh single-transiting planet candidate. All planets in…
VaTEST III: Validation of 8 Potential Super-Earths from TESS Data
Priyashkumar Mistry, Aniket Prasad, Mousam Maity +29
NASA's all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is specifically engineered to detect exoplanets that transit bright stars. Thus far, TESS has succe…
TOI-1801 b: A temperate mini-Neptune around a young M0.5 dwarf
M. Mallorquín, E. Goffo, E. Pallé +79
We report the discovery, mass, and radius determination of TOI-1801 b, a temperate mini-Neptune around a young M dwarf. TOI-1801 b was observed in TESS sectors 22 and 49, and the a…
Investigating the Atmospheric Mass Loss of the Kepler-105 Planets Straddling the Radius Gap
Aaron Householder, Lauren M. Weiss, James E. Owen +21
An intriguing pattern among exoplanets is the lack of detected planets between approximately R and R. One proposed explanation for this "radius gap" i…
Identification of the Top TESS Objects of Interest for Atmospheric Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets with JWST
Benjamin J. Hord, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Thomas Mikal-Evans +142
JWST has ushered in an era of unprecedented ability to characterize exoplanetary atmospheres. While there are over 5,000 confirmed planets, more than 4,000 TESS planet candidates a…
TESS discovery of a super-Earth orbiting the M dwarf star TOI-1680
M. Ghachoui, A. Soubkiou, R. D. Wells +52
We report the discovery by the TESS mission of a super-Earth on a 4.8-d orbit around an inactive M4.5 dwarf (TOI-1680) validated by ground-based facilities. The host star is locate…
TOI 4201 b and TOI 5344 b: Discovery of Two Transiting Giant Planets Around M Dwarf Stars and Revised Parameters for Three Others
J. D. Hartman, G. Á. Bakos, Z. Csubry +62
We present the discovery from the TESS mission of two giant planets transiting M dwarf stars: TOI 4201 b and TOI 5344 b. We also provide precise radial velocity measurements and up…
Overfitting Affects the Reliability of Radial Velocity Mass Estimates of the V1298 Tau Planets
Sarah Blunt, Adolfo Carvalho, Trevor J. David +23
Mass, radius, and age measurements of young (<100 Myr) planets have the power to shape our understanding of planet formation. However, young stars tend to be extremely variable in…
The TESS-Keck Survey. XVI. Mass Measurements for 12 Planets in Eight Systems
Joseph M. Akana Murphy, Natalie M. Batalha, Nicholas Scarsdale +44
With JWST's successful deployment and unexpectedly high fuel reserves, measuring the masses of sub-Neptunes transiting bright, nearby stars will soon become the bottleneck for char…
A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star
Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Nicholas Z. Rui +39
When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, c…
A Mini-Neptune Orbiting the Metal-poor K Dwarf BD+29 2654
Fei Dai, Kevin C. Schlaufman, Henrique Reggiani +48
We report the discovery and Doppler mass measurement of a 7.4-day 2.3- mini-Neptune around a metal-poor K dwarf BD+29 2654 (TOI-2018). Based on a high-resolution Keck/HIR…
TESS and CHEOPS Discover Two Warm Sub-Neptunes Transiting the Bright K-dwarf HD 15906
Amy Tuson, Didier Queloz, Hugh P. Osborn +119
We report the discovery of two warm sub-Neptunes transiting the bright (G = 9.5 mag) K-dwarf HD 15906 (TOI 461, TIC 4646810). This star was observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Sur…
The TESS-Keck Survey. XV. Precise Properties of 108 TESS Planets and Their Host Stars
Mason G. MacDougall, Erik A. Petigura, Gregory J. Gilbert +38
We present the stellar and planetary properties for 85 TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) hosting 108 planet candidates which comprise the TESS-Keck Survey (TKS) sample. We combine ph…
TOI-2498 b: A hot bloated super-Neptune within the Neptune desert
Ginger Frame, David J. Armstrong, Heather M. Cegla +39
We present the discovery and confirmation of a transiting hot, bloated Super-Neptune using photometry from TESS and LCOGT and radial velocity measurements from HARPS. The host star…
The mass determination of TOI-519 b: a close-in giant planet transiting a metal-rich mid-M dwarf
Taiki Kagetani, Norio Narita, Tadahiro Kimura +33
We report the mass determination of TOI-519 b, a transiting substellar object around a mid-M dwarf. We carried out radial velocity measurements using Subaru / InfraRed Doppler (IRD…
The Kepler Giant Planet Search. I: A Decade of Kepler Planet-host Radial Velocities from W. M. Keck Observatory
Lauren M. Weiss, Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard +17
Despite the importance of Jupiter and Saturn to Earth's formation and habitability, there has not yet been a comprehensive observational study of how giant exoplanets correlate wit…
An unlikely survivor: a low-density hot Neptune orbiting a red giant star
Samuel Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Daniel Huber +14
Hot Neptunes, gaseous planets smaller than Saturn ( 3-8 R) with orbital periods less than 10 days, are rare. Models predict this is due to high-energy stellar irradi…
