The Tierras Observatory: Ultra-Precise Photometry for Characterizing Exoplanets and Their Host Stars
Juliana García-Mejía, Patrick Tamburo, David Charbonneau +9
The Tierras Observatory is a fully robotic 1.3-m telescope at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in southern Arizona. Tierras achieves sub-part-per-thousand (ppt) photometric pr…
Observing a 542-day transiting giant with large TTVs: The 2025 transit of HIP 41378 f and new constraints on the outer system
Pietro Leonardi, Alexandre Santerne, Luca Borsato +27
Characterizing long-period transiting exoplanets is inherently challenging due to the rarity and long duration of transit events. Yet, these systems provide unique insights into pl…
RV and TTV Measurements of Two Transiting Long-Period Giants around TOI-4600
Tong Hu, Zitao Lin, Sharon X. Wang +27
TOI-4600b and c, originally identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and reported by I. Mireles et al. (2023), are a rare pair of transiting long-period giant…
THYME XIII: Two young Neptunes orbiting a 75-Myr star in the Alpha Persei Cluster
Anne Dattilo, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Madyson G. Barber +28
Young planets with mass measurements are particularly valuable in studying atmospheric mass-loss processes, but these planets are rare and their masses difficult to measure due to…
The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge
Samuel W. Yee, Patrick Tamburo, Gudmundur Stefánsson +11
The ``Neptunian ridge'' is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and…
A Ground-Based Transit Observation of the Long-Period Extremely Low-Density Planet HIP 41378 f
Juliana García-Mejía, Zoë L. de Beurs, Patrick Tamburo +25
We present a ground-based transit detection of HIP 41378 f, a long-period ( days), extremely low-density ( g cm) giant exoplanet in a dynamically com…
Spot-Crossing Variations Confirm a Misaligned Orbit for a Planet Transiting an M Dwarf
Patrick Tamburo, Samuel W. Yee, Juliana García-Mejía +4
TOI-3884~b is an unusual 6.4~R planet orbiting an M4 host, whose transits display large and persistent spot-crossing events. We used the \textit{Tierras} Observatory to mo…
The True Stellar Obliquity of a Sub-Saturn Planet from the Tierras Observatory and KPF
Patrick Tamburo, Samuel W. Yee, Juliana García-Mejía +7
We measure the true obliquity of TOI-2364, a K dwarf with a sub-Saturn-mass () transiting planet on the upper edge of the hot Neptune desert. We used new Rossiter-…
TOI-4641b: An Aligned Warm Jupiter Orbiting a Bright (V=7.5) Rapidly Rotating F-star
Allyson Bieryla, George Zhou, Juliana García-Mejía +25
We report the discovery of TOI-4641b, a warm Jupiter transiting a rapidly rotating F-type star with a stellar effective temperature of 6560 K. The planet has a radius of 0.73 $R_{J…
A resonant sextuplet of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright star HD 110067
R. Luque, H. P. Osborn, A. Leleu +149
Planets with radii between that of the Earth and Neptune (hereafter referred to as sub-Neptunes) are found in close-in orbits around more than half of all Sun-like stars. Yet, thei…
The HD 217107 Planetary System: Twenty Years of Radial Velocity Measurements
Mark R. Giovinazzi, Cullen H. Blake, Jason D. Eastman +13
The hot Jupiter HD 217107 b was one of the first exoplanets detected using the radial velocity (RV) method, originally reported in the literature in 1999. Today, precise RV measure…
Optimizing Ground-based Observations of O2 in Earth Analogs
Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Sagi Ben-Ami, Gonzalo Gonzalez-Abad +3
We present the result of calculations to optimize the search for molecular oxygen (O2) in Earth analogs transiting around nearby, low-mass stars using ground-based, high-resolution…
