TOI-1846b: A super-Earth in the radius valley orbiting a nearby M dwarf

Abderahmane Soubkiou, Khalid Barkaoui, Zouhair Benkhaldoun +42

We present the discovery and validation of a super-Earth planet orbiting the M dwarf star TOI-1846 (TIC 198385543). The host star(Kmag = 9.6)is located 47 pc away and has a radius…

A transiting giant planet in orbit around a 0.2-solar-mass host star

Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman +56

Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mas…

TOI-2015b: a sub-Neptune in strong gravitational interaction with an outer non-transiting planet

K. Barkaoui, J. Korth, E. Gaidos +119

TOI-2015 is a known exoplanetary system around an M4 dwarf star, consisting of a transiting sub-Neptune planet in a 3.35-day orbital period, TOI-2015b, accompanied by a non-transit…

TESS discovery of two super-Earths orbiting the M-dwarf stars TOI-6002 and TOI-5713 near the radius valley

M. Ghachoui, B. V. Rackham, M. Dévora-Pajares +45

We present the validation of two TESS super-Earth candidates transiting the mid-M dwarfs TOI-6002 and TOI-5713 every 10.90 and 10.44 days, respectively. The first star (TOI-6002) i…

TOI-2084 b and TOI-4184 b: two new sub-Neptunes around M dwarf stars

K. Barkaoui, M. Timmermans, A. Soubkiou +67

We present the discovery and validation of two TESS exoplanets orbiting nearby M dwarfs: TOI-2084b, and TOI-4184b. We characterized the host stars by combining spectra from Shane/K…

TESS discovery of a sub-Neptune orbiting a mid-M dwarf TOI-2136

Tianjun Gan, Abderahmane Soubkiou, Sharon X. Wang +60

We present the discovery of TOI-2136b, a sub-Neptune planet transiting every 7.85 days a nearby M4.5V-type star, identified through photometric measurements from the TESS mission.…

Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations

J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234

A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…

Properties of Sub-Neptune Atmospheres: TOI-270 System

J. Chouqar, Z. Benkhaldoun, A. Jabiri +3

We investigate the potential for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect and characterize the atmospheres of the sub-Neptunian exoplanets in the TOI-270 system. Sub-Neptune…
