A Pair of Warm Saturn-mass Planets near the 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance around TOI-3850

Sean Collins, Michelle Kunimoto, Nicolas B. Cowan +24

Warm Jupiters, with orbital periods of -- and radii exceeding , are a relatively understudied class of exoplanets occupying the parameter space bet…

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…

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…

Exoplanets in ancient stellar populations: occurrence constraints and hot-Jupiter candidates in the Galactic halo

Dolev Bashi, Michelle Kunimoto, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +3

The Galactic halo preserves a record of the Milky Way's earliest assembly and contains both in-situ stars and stars accreted from dwarf galaxies. Possible planets around these star…

TOI-6692b: An eccentric 130 day period giant planet with a single transit from TESS

Allyson Bieryla, Karen A. Collins, George Zhou +46

We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-6692 b, an eccentric (e~0.54) Jupiter on a 130-day orbit. TOI-6692 b was first detected as a community TESS Object of Interest (…
