Phosphine as a Biosignature Gas in Exoplanet Atmospheres
Clara Sousa-Silva, Sara Seager, Sukrit Ranjan +4
A long-term goal of exoplanet studies is the identification and detection of biosignature gases. Beyond the most discussed biosignature gas O, only a handful of gases have been…
Habitability and Spectroscopic Observability of Warm M-dwarf Exoplanets Evaluated with a 3D Chemistry-Climate Model
Howard Chen, Eric T. Wolf, Zhuchang Zhan +1
Planets residing in circumstellar habitable zones (CHZs) offer our best opportunities to test hypotheses of life's potential pervasiveness and complexity. Constraining the precise…
Complex Rotational Modulation of Rapidly Rotating M-Stars Observed with TESS
Z. Zhan, M. N. Günther, S. Rappaport +23
We have searched for short periodicities in the light curves of stars with cooler than 4000 K made from 2-minute cadence data obtained in TESS sectors 1 and 2. Herein…
An Eccentric Massive Jupiter Orbiting a Sub-Giant on a 9.5 Day Period Discovered in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite Full Frame Images
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, Chelsea X. Huang +71
We report the discovery of TOI-172 b from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission, a massive hot Jupiter transiting a slightly evolved G-star with a 9.48-day orbit…
Stellar Flares from the First Tess Data Release: Exploring a New Sample of M-dwarfs
Maximilian N. Günther, Zhuchang Zhan, Sara Seager +21
We perform a study of stellar flares for the 24,809 stars observed with 2 minute cadence during the first two months of the TESS mission. Flares may erode exoplanets' atmospheres a…
TESS delivers its first Earth-sized planet and a warm sub-Neptune
Diana Dragomir, Johanna Teske, Maximilian N. Gunther +48
The future of exoplanet science is bright, as TESS once again demonstrates with the discovery of its longest-period confirmed planet to date. We hereby present HD 21749b (TOI 186.0…
