Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP). III. Twenty-Nine Giant Planets from the TESS Mission

Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +97

We present the discovery and characterization of 29 hot and warm Jupiter systems transiting bright () FGK stars using TESS data and ground-based photometry and spectrosco…

An Infant Sub-Saturn in Scorpius-Centaurus

Gurmeher Kathuria, Luke G. Bouma, Andrew W. Boyle +25

We report the discovery and validation of TIC 88297141 Ab, a transiting planet orbiting a pre-main-sequence M dwarf (0.31 solar masses, 0.74 solar radii) in the Scorpius-Centaurus…

TS23/McDonald and FIES/NOT strike again. Two new warm Jupiter systems and outer companions in a third

E. Knudstrup, D. Gandolfi, W. D. Cochran +29

Warm Jupiters (gas giant planets with orbital periods of P8-200 d) are thought to be largely unaffected by the tidal interactions that can erase information about the dynamic…

Stellar companions sculpt hot Jupiter formation and spin-orbit evolution

Cheyanne Shariat, Kareem El-Badry, Songhu Wang +4

Stellar companions can drive hot-Jupiter (HJ) migration and spin-orbit misalignment, but their role in HJ formation remains uncertain. We construct a homogeneous census of resolved…

Conspicuous Gas, Cryptic Dust: Spectroscopy and Chromaticity of Complex Periodic Variables

Luke G. Bouma, Facundo Perez Paolino, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +17

Complex periodic variables (CPVs) are young low-mass stars whose light curves show periodic dips indicative of transiting corotating material. The origin and composition of this ma…

Assessing the Impact of High-Resolution Imaging on Statistical Validation of TESS Planet Candidates

Michael Collier, Steven Giacalone, Brian Derfer +38

High-resolution imaging is widely used to constrain false-positive scenarios in exoplanet validation, but it is a finite follow-up resource that reaches only a subset of candidates…
