Phosphine Gas in the Cloud Decks of Venus

Jane S. Greaves, Anita M. S. Richards, William Bains +16

Measurements of trace-gases in planetary atmospheres help us explore chemical conditions different to those on Earth. Our nearest neighbor, Venus, has cloud decks that are temperat…

Phosphine on Venus Cannot be Explained by Conventional Processes

William Bains, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sara Seager +6

The recent candidate detection of ~1 ppb of phosphine in the middle atmosphere of Venus is so unexpected that it requires an exhaustive search for explanations of its origin. Phosp…

Complex Modulation of Rapidly Rotating Young M Dwarfs: Adding Pieces to the Puzzle

Maximilian N. Günther, David A. Berardo, Elsa Ducrot +37

New sets of young M dwarfs with complex, sharp-peaked, and strictly periodic photometric modulations have recently been discovered with Kepler/K2 (scallop shells) and TESS (complex…

TOI 694 b and TIC 220568520 b: Two Low-Mass Companions Near the Hydrogen Burning Mass Limit Orbiting Sun-like Stars

Ismael Mireles, Avi Shporer, Nolan Grieves +40

We report the discovery of TOI 694 b and TIC 220568520 b, two low-mass stellar companions in eccentric orbits around metal-rich Sun-like stars, first detected by the Transiting Exo…

EX Draconis: Using Eclipses to Separate Outside-In and Inside-Out Outbursts

James M. C. Court, Simone Scaringi, Colin Littlefield +8

We present a study of the eclipses in the accreting white dwarf EX Dra during TESS Cycles 14 and 15. During both of the two outbursts present in this dataset, the eclipses undergo…

A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert

David J. Armstrong, Théo A. Lopez, Vardan Adibekyan +91

The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of plan…

Three Short Period Jupiters from TESS

L. D. Nielsen, R. Brahm, F. Bouchy +74

We report the confirmation and mass determination of three hot Jupiters discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission: HIP 65Ab (TOI-129, TIC-201248411) is…
