Mass determination of two Jupiter-sized planets orbiting slightly evolved stars: TOI-2420 b and TOI-2485 b
Ilaria Carleo, Oscar Barrágan, Carina M. Persson +67
Hot and warm Jupiters might have undergone the same formation and evolution path, but the two populations exhibit different distributions of orbital parameters, challenging our und…

We present ground and space-based photometric observations of TOI-270 (L231-32), a system of three transiting planets consisting of one super-Earth and two sub-Neptunes discovered…
A Mini-Neptune Orbiting the Metal-poor K Dwarf BD+29 2654
Fei Dai, Kevin C. Schlaufman, Henrique Reggiani +48
We report the discovery and Doppler mass measurement of a 7.4-day 2.3- mini-Neptune around a metal-poor K dwarf BD+29 2654 (TOI-2018). Based on a high-resolution Keck/HIR…
Three Saturn-mass planets transiting F-type stars revealed with TESS and HARPS
Angelica Psaridi, François Bouchy, Monika Lendl +62
While the sample of confirmed exoplanets continues to increase, the population of transiting exoplanets around early-type stars is still limited. These planets allow us to investig…
TESS spots a mini-neptune interior to a hot saturn in the TOI-2000 system
Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +52
Hot jupiters (P < 10 d, M > 60 ) are almost always found alone around their stars, but four out of hundreds known have inner companion planets. These rare compan…
A close-in puffy Neptune with hidden friends: The enigma of TOI 620
Michael A. Reefe, Rafael Luque, Eric Gaidos +82
We present the validation of a transiting low-density exoplanet orbiting the M2.5 dwarf TOI 620 discovered by the NASA TESS mission. We utilize photometric data from both TESS and…
Validation and atmospheric exploration of the sub-Neptune TOI-2136b around a nearby M3 dwarf
K. Kawauchi, F. Murgas, E. Palle +51
The NASA space telescope is currently in the extended mission of its all-sky search for new transiting planets. Of the thousands of candidates that TESS is expected to deliv…
The TESS Faint Star Search: 1,617 TOIs from the TESS Primary Mission
Michelle Kunimoto, Tansu Daylan, Natalia Guerrero +10
We present the detection of 1,617 new transiting planet candidates, identified in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images (FFIs) observed during the Prim…
TOI-2257 b: A highly eccentric long-period sub-Neptune transiting a nearby M dwarf
N. Schanche, F. J. Pozuelos, M. N. Günther +61
Thanks to the relative ease of finding and characterizing small planets around M dwarf stars, these objects have become cornerstones in the field of exoplanet studies. The current…
The TESS-Keck Survey. VI. Two Eccentric sub-Neptunes Orbiting HIP-97166
Mason G. MacDougall, Erik A. Petigura, Isabel Angelo +45
We report the discovery of HIP-97166b (TOI-1255b), a transiting sub-Neptune on a 10.3-day orbit around a K0 dwarf 68 pc from Earth. This planet was identified in a systematic searc…
Quick-Look Pipeline Lightcurves for 9.1 Million Stars Observed Over the First Year of the TESS Extended Mission
Michelle Kunimoto, Chelsea Huang, Evan Tey +7
We present a magnitude-limited set of lightcurves for stars observed over the TESS Extended Mission, as extracted from full-frame images (FFIs) by MIT's Quick-Look Pipeline (QLP).…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) VI: an 11 Myr giant planet transiting a very low-mass star in Lower Centaurus Crux
Andrew W. Mann, Mackenna L. Wood, Stephen P. Schmidt +48
Mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are predicted to be Jovian radius when younger than 10 Myr. Thus, we expect to find 5-15 planets around young stars even if t…
