TS23/McDonald and FIES/NOT strike again. Two new warm Jupiter systems and outer companions in a third
E. Knudstrup, D. Gandolfi, W. D. Cochran +29
Warm Jupiters (gas giant planets with orbital periods of P8-200 d) are thought to be largely unaffected by the tidal interactions that can erase information about the dynamic…
TOI-159 b: an eccentric hot-Jupiter planet around a young, pulsating Doradus star
G. Mantovan, A. Llancaqueo Albornoz, A. Psaridi +16
Fast-rotating hot stars are challenging targets for exoplanet searches due to rotational broadening and stellar variability. Moreover, hot stars often exhibit pulsations, an additi…

We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…
A transiting giant planet in orbit around a 0.2-solar-mass host star
Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman +56
Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mas…
The Eccentricity Distribution of Warm Sub-Saturns in TESS
Tyler R. Fairnington, Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang +45
We present the eccentricity distribution of warm sub-Saturns (4-8 Re, 8-200 day periods) as derived from an analysis of transit light curves from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey…
TOI-6508b: A massive transiting brown dwarf orbiting a low-mass star
K. Barkaoui, D. Sebastian, S. Zúñiga-Fernández +44
We report the discovery of a transiting brown dwarf orbiting a low-mass star, TOI-6508b. Today, only ~50 transiting brown dwarfs have been discovered. TOI-6508b was first detected…
Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA) I.: High precision stellar chemical abundance for 17 planet-hosting stars and the condensation temperature trend
Qinghui Sun, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Tianjun Gan +30
The Sun is depleted in refractory elements compared to nearby solar twins, which may be linked to the formation of giant or terrestrial planets. Here we present high-resolution, hi…
The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
Tianjun Gan, Sharon X. Wang, Fei Dai +12
Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) X: a two-planet system in the 210 Myr MELANGE-5 Association
Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Madyson G. Barber +35
Young (<500 Myr) planets are critical to studying how planets form and evolve. Among these young planetary systems, multi-planet configurations are particularly useful as they prov…
The TESS-Keck Survey XXI: 13 New Planets and Homogeneous Properties for 21 Subgiant Systems
Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Samuel K. Grunblatt +67
We present a dedicated transit and radial velocity survey of planets orbiting subgiant stars observed by the TESS Mission. Using nights on Keck/HIRES, we confirm and cha…
TOI-2266 b: a keystone super-Earth at the edge of the M dwarf radius valley

We validate the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) object of interest TOI-2266.01 (TIC 348911) as a small transiting planet (most likely a super-Earth) orbiting a faint M…
Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) I: Nine Newly Confirmed Hot Jupiters from the TESS Mission
Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Allyson Bieryla +72
Hot Jupiters were many of the first exoplanets discovered in the 1990s, but in the decades since their discovery, the mysteries surrounding their origins remain. Here, we present n…
