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…
The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. II. Twenty New Giant Planets
Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +83
NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission promises to improve our understanding of hot Jupiters by providing an all-sky, magnitude-limited sample of transiting ho…
An asynchronous object-oriented approach to the automation of the 0.8-meter George Mason University campus telescope in Python
Michael Reefe, Owen Alfaro, Shawn Foster +22
We present a unique implementation of Python coding in an asynchronous object-oriented programming (OOP) framework to fully automate the process of collecting data with the George…
Another Shipment of Six Short-Period Giant Planets from TESS
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, Andrew Vanderburg +119
We present the discovery and characterization of six short-period, transiting giant planets from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) -- TOI-1811 (TIC 376524552), TO…
Simulations for Planning Next-Generation Exoplanet Radial Velocity Surveys
Patrick D. Newman, Peter Plavchan, Jennifer A. Burt +6
Future direct imaging missions such as HabEx and LUVOIR aim to catalog and characterize Earth-mass analogs around nearby stars. The exoplanet yield of these missions will be depend…
Impact of Correlated Noise on the Mass Precision of Earth-analog Planets in Radial Velocity Surveys
Jacob K. Luhn, Eric B. Ford, Zhao Guo +6
Characterizing the masses and orbits of near-Earth-mass planets is crucial for interpreting observations from future direct imaging missions (e.g., HabEx, LUVOIR). Therefore, the E…
A close-in puffy Neptune with hidden friends: The enigma of TOI 620
Michael A. Reefe, Rafael Luque, Eric Gaidos +82
We present the validation of a transiting low-density exoplanet orbiting the M2.5 dwarf TOI 620 discovered by the NASA TESS mission. We utilize photometric data from both TESS and…
TOI 560 : Two Transiting Planets Orbiting a K Dwarf Validated with iSHELL, PFS and HIRES RVs
Mohammed El Mufti, Peter P. Plavchan, Howard Isaacson +92
We validate the presence of a two-planet system orbiting the 0.15--1.4 Gyr K4 dwarf TOI 560 (HD 73583). The system consists of an inner moderately eccentric transiting mini-Neptune…
Measuring the stability of fundamental constants with a network of clocks
G. Barontini, L. Blackburn, V. Boyer +41
The detection of variations of fundamental constants of the Standard Model would provide us with compelling evidence of new physics, and could lift the veil on the nature of dark m…
QSNET, a network of clocks for measuring the stability of fundamental constants
G. Barontini, V. Boyer, X. Calmet +19
The QSNET consortium is building a UK network of next-generation atomic and molecular clocks that will achieve unprecedented sensitivity in testing variations of the fine structure…
Extreme Precision Radial Velocity Working Group Final Report
Jonathan Crass, B. Scott Gaudi, Stephanie Leifer +33
Precise mass measurements of exoplanets discovered by the direct imaging or transit technique are required to determine planet bulk properties and potential habitability. Furthermo…
