Uniform Metallicity Measurements of M Dwarf Planet Hosts Support Metallicity-Dependent Sub-Neptune Formation
Emma V. Turtelboom, Steven Giacalone, Rebecca Gore +6
M dwarfs are the most common sites of planet formation in the Milky Way. Planet occurrence and composition are closely linked with the availability of metals in protoplanetary disk…
TOI-880 is an Aligned, Coplanar, Multi-planet System
Elina Y. Zhang, Huan-Yu Teng, Fei Dai +22
Although many cases of stellar spin-orbit misalignment are known, it is usually unclear whether a single planet's orbit was tilted or if the entire protoplanetary disk was misalign…
The star HIP 41378 potentially misaligned with its cohort of long-period planets
S. Grouffal, A. Santerne, V. Bourrier +29
The obliquity between the stellar spin axis and the planetary orbit, detected via the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect, is a tracer of the formation history of planetary systems. Wh…

OrCAS: Origins, Compositions, and Atmospheres of Sub-neptunes. I. Survey Definition
Ian J. M. Crossfield, Alex S. Polanski, Paul Robertson +61
Sub-Neptunes - volatile-rich exoplanets smaller than Neptune - are intrinsically the most common type of planet known. However, the formation and nature of these objects, as well a…
The Compositions of Rocky Planets in Close-in Orbits Tend to be Earth-Like
Casey L. Brinkman, Lauren M. Weiss, Daniel Huber +54
Hundreds of exoplanets between 1-1.8 times the size of the Earth have been discovered on close in orbits. However, these planets show such a diversity in densities that some appear…
SPORES-HWO. II. Companion Mass Limits and Updated Planet Properties for 120 Future Exoplanet Imaging Targets from 35 yr of Precise Doppler Monitoring
Caleb K. Harada, Courtney D. Dressing, Emma V. Turtelboom +17
A goal of the future Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to directly image and spectroscopically characterize true Earth-analogs. However, if a large fraction of HWO target stars…
Searching for Additional Planets in TESS Multi-Planet Systems: Testing Empirical Models Based on Kepler Data
Emma V. Turtelboom, Jamie Dietrich, Courtney D. Dressing +1
Multi-planet system architectures are frequently used to constrain possible formation and evolutionary pathways of observed exoplanets. Therefore, understanding the predictive and…
TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VI. Newly Discovered Hot Jupiters Provide Evidence for Efficient Obliquity Damping after the Main Sequence
Nicholas Saunders, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Ashley Chontos +53
The degree of alignment between a star's spin axis and the orbital plane of its planets (the stellar obliquity) is related to interesting and poorly understood processes that occur…
The TESS-Keck Survey XX: 15 New TESS Planets and a Uniform RV Analysis of all Survey Targets
Alex S. Polanski, Jack Lubin, Corey beard +69
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered hundreds of new worlds, with TESS planet candidates now outnumbering the total number of confirmed planets from $\te…
The TESS-Keck Survey. XXII. A sub-Neptune Orbiting TOI-1437
Daria Pidhorodetska, Emily A. Gilbert, Stephen R. Kane +40
Exoplanet discoveries have revealed a dramatic diversity of planet sizes across a vast array of orbital architectures. Sub-Neptunes are of particular interest; due to their absence…
Metallicities and Refined Stellar Parameters for 52 Cool Dwarfs with Transiting Planets and Planet Candidates
Rebecca Gore, Steven Giacalone, Courtney D. Dressing +8
We collected near-infrared spectra of 65 cool stars with the NASA InfraRed Telescope Facility (IRTF) and analyze them to calculate accurate metallicities and stellar parameters. Th…
