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…

KRONOS I: The m JWST Transmission Spectrum of the 23 Myr V1298 Tau c

Matthew M. Murphy, Matthew C. Nixon, Adina D. Feinstein +16

While recent JWST observations of mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes have frequently revealed featureless transmission spectra, their inflated progenitors offer a unique window i…

NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission: Simulating the Impact of Stellar Photospheric Heterogeneity and Its Correction

Benjamin V. Rackham, Aishwarya R. Iyer, Dániel Apai +28

Stellar photospheric heterogeneity is a dominant astrophysical systematic impacting exoplanet transmission spectroscopy. NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission is designed to address this…

A gem system with a lava world and a habitable zone sub-Neptune orbiting TOI-1752

A. Peláez-Torres, F. J. Pozuelos, G. Morello +47

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has delivered a large number of transiting planet candidates around nearby stars by identifying periodic decreases in stellar brigh…

TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf

F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44

Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…

NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission: Simulated Modeling and Retrieval of Near-Infrared Exoplanet Transmission Spectra

Yoav Rotman, Peter McGill, Luis Welbanks +22

Pandora is a SmallSat mission dedicated to understanding exoplanets and their host stars by disentangling the impact of stellar heterogeneity on exoplanet transmission spectra. Sel…
