Masses, Revised Radii, and a Third Planet Candidate in the "Inverted" Planetary System Around TOI-1266

Ryan Cloutier, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Serena Wurmser +40

Is the population of close-in planets orbiting M dwarfs sculpted by thermally driven escape or is it a direct outcome of the planet formation process? A number of recent empirical…
