TOI-3862 b: A dense super-Neptune deep in the hot Neptune desert
Ilaria Carleo, Amadeo Castro-González, Enric Pallé +61

Identifying close-in Jupiters that arrived via disk migration: Evidence of primordial alignment, preference of nearby companions and hint of runaway migration
Yugo Kawai, Akihiko Fukui, Noriharu Watanabe +2
Two leading hypotheses for hot Jupiter migration are disk migration and high-eccentricity migration (HEM). Stellar obliquity is commonly used to distinguish them, as high obliquity…
The mass of TOI-654 b: A short-period sub-Neptune transiting a mid-M dwarf
