A Highly Reflective Atmosphere on the Lava World TOI-561b Revealed by JWST/NIRSpec Phase Curve

Samuel Boucher, Lisa Dang, Alex McGinty +15

Ultra-short period (USP) rocky planets are expected to be depleted of any substantial gaseous envelope due to the intense irradiation they receive from their host star, making the…

Discovery of an Eccentric Hot Super-Jupiter Leaving the Transiting Geometry of the Early-A-type star TOI-1355

Noriharu Watanabe, Norio Narita, Akihiko Fukui +20

Hot Jupiters orbiting hot stars ( K) are suggested to have experienced high-eccentricity migration, often evidenced by the tendency for misaligned orbits, de…

C3PO IV: co-natal stars depleted in refractories are magnetically more active -- possible imprints of planets

Jie Yu, Yuan-Sen Ting, Luca Casagrande +14

Chemical abundance anomalies in twin stars have recently been considered tell-tale signs of interactions between stars and planets. While such signals are prevalent, their nature r…

A link between rocky exoplanet composition and stellar age

Angharad Weeks, Vincent Van Eylen, Daniel Huber +7

Interior compositions are key for our understanding of Earth-like exoplanets. The composition of the core can influence the presence of a magnetic dynamo and the strength of gravit…

TESS Giants Transiting Giants V -- Two hot Jupiters orbiting red-giant hosts

Filipe Pereira, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Angelica Psaridi +24

In this work we present the discovery and confirmation of two hot Jupiters orbiting red-giant stars, TOI-4377 b and TOI-4551 b, observed by TESS in the southern ecliptic hemisphere…

Dynamical Architectures of S-type Transiting Planets in Binaries I: Target Selection using Hipparcos and Gaia proper motion anomalies

Jingwen Zhang, Lauren M. Weiss, Daniel Huber +16

The effect of stellar multiplicity on planetary architecture and orbital dynamics provides an important context for exoplanet demographics. We present a volume-limited catalog up t…

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…

A Probabilistic Approach to Kepler Completeness and Reliability for Exoplanet Occurrence Rates

Steve Bryson, Jeffrey Coughlin, Natalie M. Batalha +5

Exoplanet catalogs produced by surveys suffer from a lack of completeness (not every planet is detected) and less than perfect reliability (not every planet in the catalog is a tru…

Flicker as a tool for characterizing planets through Asterodensity Profiling

David M. Kipping, Fabienne A. Bastien, Keivan G. Stassun +3

Variability in the time series brightness of a star on a timescale of 8 hours, known as 'flicker', has been previously demonstrated to serve as a proxy for the surface gravity of a…

Validation of Kepler's Multiple Planet Candidates. III: Light Curve Analysis & Announcement of Hundreds of New Multi-planet Systems

Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson, Geoffrey W. Marcy +25

The Kepler mission has discovered over 2500 exoplanet candidates in the first two years of spacecraft data, with approximately 40% of them in candidate multi-planet systems. The hi…

Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition from Gaseous to Rocky Planets

Geoffrey W. Marcy, Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard +100

We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7…
