Gaia-4b and 5b: Radial Velocity Confirmation of Gaia Astrometric Orbital Solutions Reveal a Massive Planet and a Brown Dwarf Orbiting Low-mass Stars

Gudmundur Stefansson, Suvrath Mahadevan, Joshua Winn +31

Gaia astrometry of nearby stars is precise enough to detect the tiny displacements induced by substellar companions, but radial velocity data are needed for definitive confirmation…

Detection of atmospheric species and dynamics in the bloated hot Jupiter WASP-172~b with ESPRESSO

J. V. Seidel, B. Prinoth, E. Knudstrup +3

The population of strongly irradiated Jupiter-sized planets has no equivalent in the Solar System. It is characterised by strongly bloated atmospheres and atmospheric large-scale h…

A Non-Transiting Coplanar Circumbinary Planet Around Kepler-1660AB

Max Goldberg, Daniel Fabrycky, David V. Martin +3

Over a dozen transiting circumbinary planets have been discovered around eclipsing binaries. Transit detections are biased towards aligned planet and binary orbits, and indeed all…

Ponderings on the Possible Preponderance of Perpendicular Planets

Jared Siegel, Joshua Winn, Simon Albrecht

Misalignments between planetary orbits and the equatorial planes of their host stars are clues about the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Earlier work found evidence f…

Spectroscopic follow-up of Gaia exoplanet candidates: Impostor binary stars invade the Gaia DR3 astrometric exoplanet candidates

Marcus L. Marcussen, Simon H. Albrecht

In this paper we report on the follow-up of five potential exoplanets detected with Gaia astrometry and provide an overview of what is currently known about the nature of the entir…

Radial velocity confirmation of a hot super-Neptune discovered by TESS with a warm Saturn-mass companion

E. Knudstrup, D. Gandolfi, G. Nowak +59

We report the discovery and confirmation of the planetary system TOI-1288. This late G dwarf harbours two planets: TOI-1288 b and TOI-1288 c. We combine TESS space-borne and ground…

TOI-1136 is a Young, Coplanar, Aligned Planetary System in a Pristine Resonant Chain

Fei Dai, Kento Masuda, Corey Beard +60

Convergent disk migration has long been suspected to be responsible for forming planetary systems with a chain of mean-motion resonances (MMR). Dynamical evolution over time could…

A low-eccentricity migration pathway for a 13-h-period Earth analogue in a four-planet system

Luisa Maria Serrano, Davide Gandolfi, Alexander J. Mustill +47

It is commonly accepted that exoplanets with orbital periods shorter than 1 day, also known as ultra-short period (USP) planets, formed further out within their natal protoplanetar…

TOI-1670 b and c: An Inner Sub-Neptune with an Outer Warm Jupiter Unlikely to have Originated from High-Eccentricity Migration

Quang H. Tran, Brendan P. Bowler, Michael Endl +38

We report the discovery of two transiting planets around the bright ( mag) main sequence F7 star TOI-1670 by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. TOI-1670 b is a sub-N…

Stellar obliquities in exoplanetary systems

Simon H. Albrecht, Rebekah I. Dawson, Joshua N. Winn

The rotation of a star and the revolutions of its planets are not necessarily aligned. This article reviews the measurement techniques, key findings, and theoretical interpretation…

GJ 367b: A dense ultra-short period sub-Earth planet transiting a nearby red dwarf star

Kristine W. F. Lam, Szilárd Csizmadia, Nicola Astudillo-Defru +75

Ultra-short-period (USP) exoplanets have orbital periods shorter than one day. Precise masses and radii of USPs could provide constraints on their unknown formation and evolution p…

Hot Stars With Kepler Planets Have High Obliquities

Emma M. Louden, Joshua N. Winn, Erik A. Petigura +5

It has been known for a decade that hot stars with hot Jupiters tend to have high obliquities. Less is known about the degree of spin-orbit alignment for hot stars with other kinds…
