POSEIDON III: The Aligned Orbit of the Hot Neptune Around the Hot Star WASP-195

Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Joshua N. Winn, Rafael Brahm +33

Stellar obliquities provide important clues as to the formation and migration histories of planetary systems, but measurements remain scarce for Neptune-mass planets, especially th…

Spin-Orbit Alignment of Two Neptune-size Planets Younger than 500 Myr: TOI-560 b and TOI-5082 b

Elina Y. Zhang, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +25

Stellar obliquity measurements provide a direct probe of planetary system dynamics, but remain sparse for Neptune-size planets, particularly at young ages. We present Rossiter-McLa…

The Fe I 4377 Å Line as a Solar Faculae Indicator: Insights from Spectral Ratio Analysis

Katlyn L. Hobbs, Christopher A. Watson, Jean C. Costes +21

Faculae are a dominant source of stellar activity noise in radial velocity measurements, yet their low contrast and broad surface distribution make them difficult to track in disc-…

The KPF-SLOPE Survey - Small, Compact Multi-Planet Systems Appear Spin-Orbit Aligned

Luke B. Handley, Andrew W. Howard, Fei Dai +16

The angle between stellar spin axes and planetary orbits -- stellar obliquity -- probes the dynamics of planetary migration and evolution. The obliquities of giant planets have bee…

Evidence for a Peak at 0.3 in the Eccentricity Distribution of Typical Super-Jovian Exoplanets

Sarah Blunt, Jason Wang, Ruth Murray-Clay +3

In this study, we compute completeness-corrected occurrence rates of giant exoplanets as a function of mass, semimajor axis, and eccentricity, using the approximately uniform Calif…

TOI-4495: A Pair of Aligned, Near-Resonant Sub-Neptunes that Likely Experienced Overstable Migration

Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +24

We report the discovery of a sub-Neptune and a Neptune-like planet (, ) orbiting the F-type star TOI-449…

Scalable Gaussian Processes for Integrated and Overlapping Measurements Via Augmented State Space Models

Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Soichiro Hattori, Simo Särkkä +4

Astronomical measurements are often integrated over finite exposures, which can obscure latent variability on comparable timescales. Correctly accounting for exposure integration w…

Exposure-averaged Gaussian Processes for Combining Overlapping Datasets

Jacob K. Luhn, Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Samuel Halverson +1

Physically motivated Gaussian process (GP) kernels for stellar variability, like the commonly used damped, driven simple harmonic oscillators that model stellar granulation and p-m…
