Ephemeris Refinement for Qatar-4 b, HAT-P-18 b, and CoRoT-1 b with Small Telescope and TESS Observations
Heather B. Hewitt, Mikaela Chamlee, Trinity Hockman +45
We present updated transit timing measurements for three hot Jupiters (Qatar-4 b, HAT-P-18 b, and CoRoT-1 b) by leveraging data collected from the MicroObservatory Telescope Networ…
Stellar Multiplicity of M Dwarfs with Short-period Giant Planets, and the Characterization of TOI-5628Ab
Tianjun Gan, Alexandrine L'Heureux, Charles Cadieux +33
Binary stars are ubiquitous, yet it remains unclear how wide-orbit stellar companions influence the formation of hot Jupiters, particularly around M dwarfs. Here, we first report t…
Three New Light Curves and Updated Transit Timings of WASP-135 b
Kristine Kate Torres, Isabela G. Huckabee, Patrizia Phem Odo +14
We present updated transit timing measurements for the hot Jupiter WASP-135 b using three new ground-based transit observations obtained with Leia, a 0.6-meter telescope operated b…
A New Approach to Compiling Exoatmospheric Target Lists And Quantifying the Ground-Based Resources Needed to Vet Them
Jennifer A. Burt, Robert T. Zellem, David R. Ciardi +8
Transiting exoplanet atmospheric characterization is currently in a golden age as dozens of exoplanet atmospheres are being studied by NASA's Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes…
TrES-1 b: A Case Study in Detecting Secular Evolution of Exoplanet Orbits
Simone R. Hagey, Billy Edwards, Angelos Tsiaras +43
We present a comprehensive analysis of transit, eclipse, and radial velocity data of the hot Jupiter TrES-1 b and confirm evidence of orbital variations on secular timescales. Appa…
The Pandora SmallSat: A Low-Cost, High Impact Mission to Study Exoplanets and Their Host Stars
Thomas Barclay, Elisa V. Quintana, Knicole Colón +19
The Pandora SmallSat is a NASA flight project aimed at studying the atmospheres of exoplanets -- planets orbiting stars outside our Solar System. Pandora will provide the first dat…
