We present the discovery by the TESS mission of one transiting Neptune-sized planet, TOI-6223 b and two transiting super-Earths, TOI-1743 b and TOI-5799 b. We validate these planet…
The SPACE Program. I. The featureless spectrum of HD 86226 c challenges sub-Neptune atmosphere trends
K. Angelique Kahle, Jasmina Blecic, Reza Ashtari +26
Sub-Neptune exoplanets are the most abundant type of planet known today. As they do not have a Solar System counterpart, many open questions exist about their composition and forma…
An Aligned Sub-Neptune Revealed with MAROON-X and a Tendency Towards Alignment for Small Planets
Alex S. Polanski, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Andreas Seifahrt +9
We present the Rossiter-McLaughlin measurement of the sub-Neptune TOI-1759A b with MAROON-X. A joint analysis with MuSCAT3 photometry and nine additional TESS transits produces a s…
On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
Adina D. Feinstein, Richard A. Booth, Jennifer B. Bergner +34
Measuring a single elemental ratio (e.g., carbon-to-oxygen) provides insufficient information for understanding the formation mechanisms and evolution that affect our observations…
A Pair of Dynamically Interacting Sub-Neptunes Around TOI-6054
Maxwell A. Kroft, Thomas G. Beatty, Ian J. M. Crossfield +31
We confirm the planetary nature of a pair of transiting sub-Neptune exoplanets orbiting the bright F-type sub-giant star TOI-6054 (, ) as a part of the OrCAS radia…
OrCAS: Origins, Compositions, and Atmospheres of Sub-neptunes. I. Survey Definition
Ian J. M. Crossfield, Alex S. Polanski, Paul Robertson +61
Sub-Neptunes - volatile-rich exoplanets smaller than Neptune - are intrinsically the most common type of planet known. However, the formation and nature of these objects, as well a…
A Benchmark JWST Near-Infrared Spectrum for the Exoplanet WASP-39b
