HD 715 b, a Warm Jupiter Orbiting a Massive Subgiant Discovered from a Single TESS Transit

Alexander Venner, Robert A. Wittenmyer, Andrew Vanderburg +23

Transiting Warm Jupiters orbiting bright stars are scarcely known, but a substantial number of these planets have been uncovered by the TESS mission. In this work we report the dis…

An Infant Sub-Saturn in Scorpius-Centaurus

Gurmeher Kathuria, Luke G. Bouma, Andrew W. Boyle +25

We report the discovery and validation of TIC 88297141 Ab, a transiting planet orbiting a pre-main-sequence M dwarf (0.31 solar masses, 0.74 solar radii) in the Scorpius-Centaurus…

TOI-6981 b: a transiting sub-Neptune at the water ice line

Madison G. Scott, Amaury H. M. J Triaud, Emily K. Pass +42

We present TOI-6981 b, a cold (Teq= 170.0 +/-4.5 K, assuming an Earth-like albedo) sub-Neptune (Rb=2.40+/-0.10 R_oplus) on a 60.8 day orbit around around its M4-type host star (R*=…

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…

Stellar Multiplicity of M Dwarfs with Short-period Giant Planets, and the Characterization of TOI-5628Ab

Tianjun Gan, Alexandrine L'Heureux, Charles Cadieux +33

Binary stars are ubiquitous, yet it remains unclear how wide-orbit stellar companions influence the formation of hot Jupiters, particularly around M dwarfs. Here, we first report t…

Discovery of an Inflated Hot Neptune and Its Formation from Jovian Mass Loss

Grant C. Weldon, Samuel W. Yee, Bradley M. S. Hansen +17

The production of Neptune-like planets with orbital periods of 3--6 days is challenging for conventional models of high-eccentricity migration. We present the discovery and charact…

ASTEP confirmation of a pair of long-period Jupiter-sized planets with extremely low densities transiting TOI-791

Georgina Dransfield, Antoine C. Petit, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud +45

Gas giant planets with periods orbiting Sun-like stars are a relatively uncommon outcome of planetary formation, and key questions about the nature and form…

A Cool Earth-sized Planet Candidate Transiting a Tenth Magnitude K-dwarf From K2

Alexander Venner, Andrew Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +7

The transit method is currently one of our best means for the detection of potentially habitable "Earth-like" exoplanets. In principle, given sufficiently high photometric precisio…
