CAFE follow-up of TESS hot Jupiter candidates left behind: I. Five newly confirmed planets and a false positive

J. Lillo-Box, C. Cifuentes, O. Balsalobre-Ruza +56

Hot Jupiters are key targets for understanding planet formation, migration, and atmospheres. Yet, most ground-based follow-up resources for the TESS mission are focused on confirmi…

The Longest-period Young Transiting Exoplanets. A Duo of Puffy Giants inside a Debris Disk

Carlos del Burgo, Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, Ana Heras Pastor +35

We identify two large-radius planets around the F-type star HD 114082 as the longest-period young transiting exoplanets known. From the first transit, detected by NASA's Transiting…

TOI-2147 b and TOI-6019 b: Two eccentric warm Jupiters detected and characterized with TESS and MaHPS

Luis Thomas, Louise D. Nielsen, Hanna Kellermann +36

The population of Jupiter-sized exoplanets with orbital periods between 10 and 200 days (WJs) exhibits a broad range of orbital eccentricities and system architectures, suggesting…

51 Peg b revisited with VLT/CRIRES+. Constraints on atmospheric thermal structure, chemical composition, and an alternative orbital solution

D. Cont, L. Nortmann, F. Lesjak +18

So far, the atmospheres of non-transiting exoplanets remain poorly explored, and the potential of high-resolution spectroscopy for determining key planetary parameters beyond their…

Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs

Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98

Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…

Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs

Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65

The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…

The Orbital Eccentricity--Radius Distribution for Warm, Single Planets in TESS

Tyler R. Fairnington, Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang +40

We characterize the radius-dependent eccentricity distribution of 219 warm (P = 8--50 days) systems with only one transiting planetary candidate identified during Sectors 1-69 of t…

TOI-3288 b and TOI-4666 b: two gas giants transiting low-mass stars characterised by NIRPS

Yolanda G. C. Frensch, François Bouchy, Gaspare Lo Curto +62

Gas giant planets orbiting low-mass stars are uncommon outcomes of planet formation. Increasing the sample of well-characterised giants around early M dwarfs will enable population…

A possible misaligned orbit for the young planet AU Mic c

H. Yu, Z. Garai, M. Cretignier +98

The AU Microscopii planetary system is only 24 Myr old, and its geometry may provide clues about the early dynamical history of planetary systems. Here, we present the first measur…

Radii, masses, and transit-timing variations of the three-planet system orbiting the naked-eye star TOI-396

A. Bonfanti, I. Amateis, D. Gandolfi +38

TOI-396 is an F6V star () orbited by three transiting planets. The orbital periods of the two innermost planets are close to the 5:3 commensurability ( d…

TOI-5005 b: A super-Neptune in the savanna near the ridge

A. Castro-González, J. Lillo-Box, D. J. Armstrong +38

The Neptunian desert and savanna have recently been found to be separated by a ridge, an overdensity of planets in the period range of 3-5 days. These features are thought…

Characterisation of TOI-406 as showcase of the THIRSTEE program: A 2-planet system straddling the M-dwarf density gap

G. Lacedelli, E. Pallè, R. Luque +31

The exoplanet sub-Neptune population currently poses a conundrum, as to whether small-size planets are volatile-rich cores without an atmosphere, or rocky cores surrounded by a H-H…

TESS and ESPRESSO discover a super-Earth and a mini-Neptune orbiting the K-dwarf TOI-238

A. Suárez Mascareño, V. M. Passegger, J. I. González Hernández +53

The number of super-Earth and mini-Neptune planet discoveries has increased significantly in the last two decades thanks to transit and radial velocity surveys. When it is possible…

WD0141-675: A case study on how to follow-up astrometric planet candidates around white dwarfs

Laura K. Rogers, John Debes, Richard J. Anslow +22

This work combines spectroscopic and photometric data of the polluted white dwarf WD0141-675 which has a now retracted astrometric super-Jupiter candidate and investigates the most…

Mass loss rate and local thermodynamic state of KELT-9 b thermosphere from the hydrogen Balmer series

A. Wyttenbach, P. Mollière, D. Ehrenreich +12

KELT-9 b, the hottest known exoplanet with K, is the archetype of a new planet class known as ultra-hot Jupiters. These exoplanets are presumed to have an atmosphere do…
