Low-cost neural summaries for cosmological inference: an ensemble of convolutional neural networks trained on approximate simulations

Iñigo Sáez-Casares, Davide Bianchi, Matteo Calabrese +1

Machine learning can build near-optimal summary statistics for extracting cosmological information from the large-scale structure of the Universe. Training them, however, requires…

TOI-6981 b: a transiting sub-Neptune at the water ice line

Madison G. Scott, Amaury H. M. J Triaud, Emily K. Pass +42

We present TOI-6981 b, a cold (Teq= 170.0 +/-4.5 K, assuming an Earth-like albedo) sub-Neptune (Rb=2.40+/-0.10 R_oplus) on a 60.8 day orbit around around its M4-type host star (R*=…

Leveraging Impact Parameter to Mitigate the Transit Light Source Effect: Early Insights from TRAPPIST-1

Ana Glidden, Alexander I. Shapiro, Sara Seager +19

Stellar activity complicates exoplanet transmission spectra, particularly for smaller planets around M dwarfs with JWST. The transit light source (TLS) effect, the imprinting of sp…

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…

Nautilus Space Observatory: Unveiling the Diversity and Origin of Sub-Neptunes with the Nautilus Space Observatory

Luis Welbanks, Kylie E. Hall, Julien de Wit +10

Sub-Neptunes are the most common class of planets in the Galaxy, yet they have no Solar System analog and remain poorly understood as a population. JWST observations have revealed…

Mapping Stellar Heterogeneities with the Nautilus Space Observatory

Adina D. Feinstein, Jeff Valenti, Julien de Wit +9

Stellar photospheric heterogeneities, such as starspots and faculae, are a fundamental limitation for exoplanet transmission spectroscopy. Inhomogeneous surfaces can imprint wavele…
