The TESS Triple-9 Catalog: 999 uniformly vetted candidate exoplanets

Luca Cacciapuoti, Veselin B. Kostov, Marc Kuchner +20

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has detected thousands of exoplanet candidates since 2018, most of which have yet to be confirmed. A key step in the confirmation p…

The Habitable Zones of Rapidly Rotating Main Sequence A/F Stars

John P. Ahlers, Emeline F. Fromont, Ravi Kopparappu +2

We investigate how rapid stellar rotation commonly seen in A/F stars can influence planet habitability. Specifically, we model how rapid rotation influences a planet's irradiation…

The effects of stellar gravity darkening on high-resolution transmission spectra

P. Wilson Cauley, John P. Ahlers

High-resolution transmission spectroscopy is a powerful method for probing the extended atmospheres of short-period exoplanets. With the advancement of ultra-stable echelle spectro…

An Unusual Transmission Spectrum for the Sub-Saturn KELT-11b Suggestive of a Sub-Solar Water Abundance

Knicole D. Colón, Laura Kreidberg, Luis Welbanks +30

We present an optical-to-infrared transmission spectrum of the inflated sub-Saturn KELT-11b measured with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the Hubble Space Telesco…

KELT-9 b's Asymmetric TESS Transit Caused by Rapid Stellar Rotation and Spin-Orbit Misalignment

John P. Ahlers, Marshall C. Johnson, Keivan G Stassun +19

KELT-9 b is an ultra hot Jupiter transiting a rapidly rotating, oblate early-A-type star in a polar orbit. We model the effect of rapid stellar rotation on KELT-9 b's transit light…

Gravity-Darkening Analysis of Misaligned Hot Jupiter MASCARA-4 b

John P. Ahlers, Ethan Kruse, Knicole D. Colon +17

MASCARA-4 b is a hot Jupiter in a highly-misaligned orbit around a rapidly-rotating A3V star that was observed for 54 days by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\tess). We…
