HD 35843: A Sun-like star hosting a long period sub-Neptune and inner super-Earth
Katharine Hesse, Ismael Mireles, François Bouchy +52
We report the discovery and confirmation of two planets orbiting the metal-poor Sun-like star, HD 35843 (TOI 4189). HD 35843 c is a temperate sub-Neptune transiting planet with an…
Planet formation and long-term stability in a very eccentric stellar binary
Jakob Stegmann, Evgeni Grishin, Cole Johnston +4
Planets orbiting one of the two stars in a binary are vulnerable to gravitational perturbations from the other star. Particularly, highly eccentric companion stars risk disrupting…
HD 21520 b: a warm sub-Neptune transiting a bright G dwarf
Molly Nies, Ismael Mireles, François Bouchy +49
We report the discovery and validation of HD 21520 b, a transiting planet found with TESS and orbiting a bright G dwarf (V=9.2, K, $R_{\star} = 1.04\pm 0.02…
NotPlaNET: Removing False Positives from Planet Hunters TESS with Machine Learning
Valentina Tardugno Poleo, Nora Eisner, David W. Hogg
Differentiating between real transit events and false positive signals in photometric time series data is a bottleneck in the identification of transiting exoplanets, particularly…
Planet Hunters TESS V: a planetary system around a binary star, including a mini-Neptune in the habitable zone
Nora L. Eisner, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Oscar Barragán +61
We report on the discovery and validation of a transiting long-period mini-Neptune orbiting a bright (V = 9.0 mag) G dwarf (TOI 4633; R = 1.05 RSun, M = 1.10 MSun). The planet was…
Planet Hunters NGTS: New Planet Candidates from a Citizen Science Search of the Next Generation Transit Survey Public Data
Sean M. O'Brien, Megan E. Schwamb, Samuel Gill +35
We present the results from the first two years of the Planet Hunters NGTS citizen science project, which searches for transiting planet candidates in data from the Next Generation…
