Rescuing Kepler's False Positives: A Possible Habitable Zone Exoplanet in the Triple Star System KOI-1623
Rita Lanxuan Wang, Daniel Huber, Daniel Hey +6
The Kepler mission has significantly advanced our understanding of exoplanet demographics. However, Kepler planet candidates showing centroid shifts are often classified as false-p…
Automated Detection of Double-Lined Spectroscopic Binaries in High-Resolution Spectra and a Probabilistic Analysis of Stellar Multiplicity
William B. Salazar, Steven Giacalone, Andrew W. Howard
The characterization of Sun-like stars, including determining whether those stars are single or have stellar companions, has become increasingly important for missions seeking plan…
POSEIDON III: The Aligned Orbit of the Hot Neptune Around the Hot Star WASP-195
Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Joshua N. Winn, Rafael Brahm +33
Stellar obliquities provide important clues as to the formation and migration histories of planetary systems, but measurements remain scarce for Neptune-mass planets, especially th…
Assessing the Impact of High-Resolution Imaging on Statistical Validation of TESS Planet Candidates
Michael Collier, Steven Giacalone, Brian Derfer +38
High-resolution imaging is widely used to constrain false-positive scenarios in exoplanet validation, but it is a finite follow-up resource that reaches only a subset of candidates…
Spin-Orbit Alignment of Two Neptune-size Planets Younger than 500 Myr: TOI-560 b and TOI-5082 b
Elina Y. Zhang, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +25
Stellar obliquity measurements provide a direct probe of planetary system dynamics, but remain sparse for Neptune-size planets, particularly at young ages. We present Rossiter-McLa…
COUNTESS I: A Uniformly Vetted Catalog of Known and New Transiting Exoplanets in the TESS Northern Continuous Viewing Zone
Andrew Hotnisky, Rachel B. Fernandes, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +9
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has transformed the study of nearby exoplanetary systems; however, its nominal observing strategy limits sensitivity to planets wit…
The GAPS programme at TNG: LXXVI. TOI-1533: a compact system hosting a super-Neptune-mass pair with disparate radii
G. Mantovan, V. Nascimbeni, S. Desidera +49
The present-day architecture of planetary systems contains information about their formation and migration histories. The origin of hot Jupiters (HJs, P 10 d, $R_{\rm p}…
Uniform Metallicity Measurements of M Dwarf Planet Hosts Support Metallicity-Dependent Sub-Neptune Formation
Emma V. Turtelboom, Steven Giacalone, Rebecca Gore +6
M dwarfs are the most common sites of planet formation in the Milky Way. Planet occurrence and composition are closely linked with the availability of metals in protoplanetary disk…
A gem system with a lava world and a habitable zone sub-Neptune orbiting TOI-1752
A. Peláez-Torres, F. J. Pozuelos, G. Morello +47
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has delivered a large number of transiting planet candidates around nearby stars by identifying periodic decreases in stellar brigh…
The KPF-SLOPE Survey - Small, Compact Multi-Planet Systems Appear Spin-Orbit Aligned
Luke B. Handley, Andrew W. Howard, Fei Dai +16
The angle between stellar spin axes and planetary orbits -- stellar obliquity -- probes the dynamics of planetary migration and evolution. The obliquities of giant planets have bee…
An Adolescent and Near-Resonant Planetary System Near the End of Photoevaporation
Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +28
Young exoplanets provide vital insights into the early dynamical and atmospheric evolution of planetary systems. Many multi-planet systems younger than 100 Myr exhibit mean-motion…
Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903
Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173
Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…
The Orbital Eccentricity--Radius Distribution for Warm, Single Planets in TESS
Tyler R. Fairnington, Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang +40
We characterize the radius-dependent eccentricity distribution of 219 warm (P = 8--50 days) systems with only one transiting planetary candidate identified during Sectors 1-69 of t…
TOI-4495: A Pair of Aligned, Near-Resonant Sub-Neptunes that Likely Experienced Overstable Migration
Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +24
We report the discovery of a sub-Neptune and a Neptune-like planet (, ) orbiting the F-type star TOI-449…
