Validation of a Third Earth-sized Planet in the TOI-2267 Binary System
Michael Greklek-McKeon, Jonathan Gomez Barrientos, Heather A. Knutson +13
We report the validation of a third terrestrial exoplanet in the nearby (22 pc) TOI-2267 system. TOI-2267 is a binary system with stellar components TOI-2267A (M5, 3030 K) and TOI-…
An Ancient Brown Dwarf Transiting a Metal-Poor Thick Disk Star
Jéa Adams Redai, Vedant Chandra, Samuel W. Yee +20
We report the discovery of TOI-7019b, the first transiting brown dwarf (BD) known to orbit a star that is part of the Milky Way's ancient thick disk, as defined chemically ([Fe/H]…
Giant Planets and Eccentric Orbits Are Common Around Galactic Thick Disc Stars
Thiago Ferreira, Jhon Yana Galarza, Henrique Reggiani +15
Planet formation in the Galactic thick disc is expected to be inefficient---low solid reservoirs, short disc lifetimes, and harsh irradiation environments should conspire to inhibi…
Searching for Exoplanets Born Outside the Milky Way: VOYAGERS Survey Design
Robert Aloisi, Andrew Vanderburg, Melinda Soares-Furtado +44
Observations over the past few decades have found that planets are common around nearby stars in our Galaxy, but little is known about planets that formed outside the Milky Way. We…
THYME XIII: Two young Neptunes orbiting a 75-Myr star in the Alpha Persei Cluster
Anne Dattilo, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Madyson G. Barber +28
Young planets with mass measurements are particularly valuable in studying atmospheric mass-loss processes, but these planets are rare and their masses difficult to measure due to…
Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) II: Super-Jupiters and Lithium-rich Host Stars
Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +30
Although hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets discovered orbiting main sequence stars, the dominant mechanisms through which they form and evolve are not known. To address the qu…
Validation of TESS Planet Candidates with Multi-Color Transit Photometry and TRICERATOPS+
Jonathan Gomez Barrientos, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Heather A. Knutson +33
We present an upgraded version of TRICERATOPS, a software package designed to calculate false positive probabilities for planet candidates identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Su…
A New Brown Dwarf Orbiting an M star and An Investigation on the Eccentricity Distribution of Transiting Long-Period Brown Dwarfs
Tianjun Gan, Charles Cadieux, Shigeru Ida +32
The orbital eccentricities of brown dwarfs encode valuable information of their formation and evolution history, providing insights into whether they resemble giant planets or stel…
A high mutual inclination system around KOI-134 revealed by transit timing variations
Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang, Judith Korth +9
Few planetary systems have measured mutual inclinations, and even less are found to be non-coplanar. Observing the gravitational interactions between exoplanets is an effective too…
The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. III. Thirty More Giant Planets
Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +123
We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…
Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOT 'EM) Survey. VI: Confirmation of a Long-Period Giant Planet Discovered with a Single TESS Transit
Zahra Essack, Diana Dragomir, Paul A. Dalba +81
We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a , giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at 122 pc. The planet was…
TOI-1846b: A super-Earth in the radius valley orbiting a nearby M dwarf
Abderahmane Soubkiou, Khalid Barkaoui, Zouhair Benkhaldoun +42
We present the discovery and validation of a super-Earth planet orbiting the M dwarf star TOI-1846 (TIC 198385543). The host star(Kmag = 9.6)is located 47 pc away and has a radius…
Metallicities from High-Resolution TRES Spectra with uberMS: Performance Benchmarks and Literature Comparison
Emily K. Pass, Phillip A. Cargile, Victoria DiTomasso +7
As the field of exoplanetary astronomy has matured, demand has grown for precise stellar abundances to probe subtle correlations between stellar compositions and planetary demograp…
The Eccentricity Distribution of Warm Sub-Saturns in TESS
Tyler R. Fairnington, Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang +45
We present the eccentricity distribution of warm sub-Saturns (4-8 Re, 8-200 day periods) as derived from an analysis of transit light curves from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey…
An Oasis in the Brown Dwarf Desert: Confirmation of Two Low-mass Transiting Brown Dwarfs Discovered by TESS
Elina Y. Zhang, Theron W. Carmichael, Daniel Huber +14
As the intermediate-mass siblings of stars and planets, brown dwarfs (BDs) are vital to study for a better understanding of how objects change across the planet-to-star mass range.…
ExoMiner++: Enhanced Transit Classification and a New Vetting Catalog for 2-Minute TESS Data
Hamed Valizadegan, Miguel J. S. Martinho, Jon M. Jenkins +24
We present ExoMiner++, an enhanced deep learning model that builds on the success of ExoMiner to improve transit signal classification in 2-minute TESS data. ExoMiner++ incorporate…
Confirmation of four hot Jupiters detected by TESS using follow-up spectroscopy from MaHPS at Wendelstein together with NEID and TRES
