Two young planetary systems around field stars with ages between 20-320 Myr from TESS

George Zhou, Samuel N. Quinn, Jonathan Irwin +46

Planets around young stars trace the early evolution of planetary systems. We report the discovery and validation of two planetary systems with ages Myr from observa…

Cluster Difference Imaging Photometric Survey. II. TOI 837: A Young Validated Planet in IC 2602

L. G. Bouma, J. D. Hartman, R. Brahm +42

We report the discovery of TOI 837b and its validation as a transiting planet. We characterize the system using data from the NASA TESS mission, the ESA Gaia mission, ground-based…

The TOI-763 system: sub-Neptunes orbiting a Sun-like star

M. Fridlund, J. Livingston, D. Gandolfi +51

We report the discovery of a planetary system orbiting TOI-763 (aka CD-39 7945), a , high proper motion G-type dwarf star that was photometrically monitored by the TESS spa…

Complex Modulation of Rapidly Rotating Young M Dwarfs: Adding Pieces to the Puzzle

Maximilian N. Günther, David A. Berardo, Elsa Ducrot +37

New sets of young M dwarfs with complex, sharp-peaked, and strictly periodic photometric modulations have recently been discovered with Kepler/K2 (scallop shells) and TESS (complex…

TIC 278956474: Two close binaries in one young quadruple system, identified by \textit{TESS}

Pamela Rowden, Tamás Borkovits, Jon M. Jenkins +25

We have identified a quadruple system with two close eclipsing binaries in TESS data. The object is unresolved in Gaia and appears as a single source at parallax 1.08~0.01 mas…

PTFO 8-8695: Two Stars, Two Signals, No Planet

L. G. Bouma, J. N. Winn, G. R. Ricker +13

PTFO 8-8695 (CVSO 30) is a star in the 7-10 million year old Orion-OB1a cluster that shows brightness dips that resemble planetary transits. Although strong evidence against the pl…

TESS discovery of a super-Earth and three sub-Neptunes hosted by the bright, Sun-like star HD 108236

Tansu Daylan, Kartik Pingle, Jasmine Wright +59

We report the discovery and validation of four extrasolar planets hosted by the nearby, bright, Sun-like (G3V) star HD~108236 using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satell…

WASP-4 is Accelerating Toward the Earth

L. G. Bouma, J. N. Winn, A. W. Howard +4

The orbital period of the hot Jupiter WASP-4b appears to be decreasing at a rate of msec/yr, based on transit-timing measurements spanning 12 years. Proposed expla…

The continuing search for evidence of tidal orbital decay of hot Jupiters

Kishore C. Patra, Joshua N. Winn, Matthew J. Holman +15

Many of the known hot Jupiters are formally unstable to tidal orbital decay. The only hot Jupiter for which orbital decay has been directly detected is WASP-12, for which transit t…
