The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. III. Thirty More Giant Planets

Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +123

We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…

A transiting giant planet in orbit around a 0.2-solar-mass host star

Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman +56

Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mas…

The NCORES Program: Precise planetary masses, null results, and insight into the planet mass distribution near the radius gap

David J. Armstrong, Ares Osborn, Remo Burn +39

NCORES was a large observing program on the ESO HARPS spectrograph, dedicated to measuring the masses of Neptune-like and smaller transiting planets discovered by the TESS satellit…

A 16 Myr super-Neptune in Upper-Centaurus Lupus and a preliminary survey of transiting planets in Sco-Cen with TESS

Sydney Vach, George Zhou, Andrew W. Mann +25

Measuring the properties of planets younger than about 50 Myr helps to test different planetary formation and evolution models. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)…

11 New Transiting Brown Dwarfs and Very Low Mass Stars from TESS

Noah Vowell, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +39

We present the discovery of 11 new transiting brown dwarfs and low-mass M-dwarfs from NASA's TESS mission: TOI-2844, TOI-3122, TOI-3577, TOI-3755, TOI-4462, TOI-4635, TOI-4737, TOI…

Transit Timing Variations for AU Microscopii b & c

Justin M. Wittrock, Stefan Dreizler, Michael A. Reefe +42

We explore the transit timing variations (TTVs) of the young (22 Myr) nearby AU Mic planetary system. For AU Mic b, we introduce three Spitzer (4.5 m) transits, five TESS transi…

TOI-1842b: A Transiting Warm Saturn Undergoing Re-Inflation around an Evolving Subgiant

Robert A. Wittenmyer, Jake T. Clark, Trifon Trifonov +41

The imminent launch of space telescopes designed to probe the atmospheres of exoplanets has prompted new efforts to prioritise the thousands of transiting planet candidates for fol…

Vetting of 384 TESS Objects of Interest with TRICERATOPS and Statistical Validation of 12 Planet Candidates

Steven Giacalone, Courtney D. Dressing, Eric L. N. Jensen +34

We present TRICERATOPS, a new Bayesian tool that can be used to vet and validate TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs). We test the tool on 68 TOIs that have been previously confirmed as…
