Benchmarking Machine Learning Emulators of Stellar Evolution for Precision Asteroseismology

Naomi Gluck, Earl P. Bellinger, Yan Liang +5

Fast and accurate stellar evolution emulators---surrogate models that approximate expensive simulation outputs with machine learning (ML)---are powerful tools for modern stellar ch…

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…

Stellar Cruise Control: Weakened Magnetic Braking Leads to Sustained Rapid Rotation of Old Stars

Nicholas Saunders, Jennifer L. van Saders, Alexander J. Lyttle +8

Despite a growing sample of precisely measured stellar rotation periods and ages, the strength of magnetic braking and the degree of departure from standard (Skumanich-like) spindo…

The far side of the Galactic bar/bulge revealed through semi-regular variables

Daniel R. Hey, Daniel Huber, Benjamin J. Shappee +8

The Galactic bulge and bar are critical to our understanding of the Milky Way. However, due to the lack of reliable stellar distances, the structure and kinematics of the bulge/bar…

An unlikely survivor: a low-density hot Neptune orbiting a red giant star

Samuel Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Daniel Huber +14

Hot Neptunes, gaseous planets smaller than Saturn ( 3-8 R) with orbital periods less than 10 days, are rare. Models predict this is due to high-energy stellar irradi…

The Possible Tidal Demise of Kepler's First Planetary System

Shreyas Vissapragada, Ashley Chontos, Michael Greklek-McKeon +6

We present evidence of tidally-driven inspiral in the Kepler-1658 (KOI-4) system, which consists of a giant planet (1.1, 5.9) orbiting an evolved host s…
