The TESS-Keck Survey. XIX. A Warm Transiting Sub-Saturn Mass Planet and a non-Transiting Saturn Mass Planet Orbiting a Solar Analog
Michelle L. Hill, Stephen R. Kane, Paul A. Dalba +45
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) continues to dramatically increase the number of known transiting exoplanets, and is optimal for monitoring bright stars amenable t…
Revised Architecture and Two New Super-Earths in the HD 134606 Planetary System
Zhexing Li, Stephen R. Kane, Timothy D. Brandt +15
Multi-planet systems exhibit a diversity of architectures that diverge from the solar system and contribute to the topic of exoplanet demographics. Radial velocity (RV) surveys for…
Dynamical Interactions and Mass Loss Within the Uranian System
Stephen R. Kane, Zhexing Li
The origin and evolution of planetary rings and moons remains an active area of study, particularly as they relate to the impact history and volatile inventory of the outer solar s…
Doppler Constraints on Planetary Companions to Nearby Sun-like Stars: An Archival Radial Velocity Survey of Southern Targets for Proposed NASA Direct Imaging Missions
Katherine Laliotis, Jennifer A. Burt, Eric E. Mamajek +22
Directly imaging temperate rocky planets orbiting nearby, Sun-like stars with a 6-m-class IR/O/UV space telescope, recently dubbed the Habitable Worlds Observatory, is a high prior…
The Demographics of Terrestrial Planets in the Venus Zone
