Scaling K2. V. Statistical Validation of 60 New Exoplanets From K2 Campaigns 2-18
Jessie L. Christiansen, Sakhee Bhure, Jon K. Zink +39
The NASA K2 mission, salvaged from the hardware failures of the Kepler telescope, has continued Kepler's planet-hunting success. It has revealed nearly 500 transiting planets aroun…
Validation of 13 Hot and Potentially Terrestrial TESS Planets
Steven Giacalone, Courtney D. Dressing, Christina Hedges +108
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be able to probe the atmospheres and surface properties of hot, terrestrial planets via emission spectroscopy. We identify 18 potentially…
Transit timing variations of AU Microscopii b and c
Gy. M. Szabó, Z. Garai, A. Brandeker +76
Here we report large-amplitude transit timing variations (TTVs) for AU\,Microcopii b and c as detected in combined TESS (2018, 2020) and CHEOPS (2020, 2021) transit observations. A…
No Transits of Proxima Centauri Planets in High-Cadence TESS Data
Emily A. Gilbert, Thomas Barclay, Ethan Kruse +2
Proxima Centauri is our nearest stellar neighbor and one of the most well-studied stars in the sky. In 2016, a planetary companion was detected through radial velocity measurements…
L 98-59: a Benchmark System of Small Planets for Future Atmospheric Characterization
Daria Pidhorodetska, Sarah E. Moran, Edward W. Schwieterman +10
L 98-59 is an M3V dwarf star that hosts three small (R < 1.6 Earth radii) planets. The host star is bright (K = 7.1) and nearby (10.6 pc), making the system a prime target for foll…
A planet within the debris disk around the pre-main-sequence star AU Microscopii
Peter Plavchan, Thomas Barclay, Jonathan Gagné +84
AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is the second closest pre main sequence star, at a distance of 9.79 parsecs and with an age of 22 million years. AU Mic possesses a relatively rare and spat…
