Earth-sized planets transiting M dwarf stars present one of the best opportunities with current facilities for studying the atmospheric and bulk compositions of terrestrial worlds.…
Multicolour Validation of Two Temperate Mini-Neptunes Around M-dwarf Habitable Zones
Chengzi Jiang, Aleksandra Selezneva, Hannu Parviainen +17
For small planets orbiting within the habitable zones of their host stars, multicolour validation via photometric transit observations offers an efficient alternative to prioritize…
Precise mass and radius determination for two new and one known Neptune-sized planets around G Dwarf hosts
Ilaria Carleo, Grzegorz Nowak, Felipe Murgas +56
As part of the KESPRINT collaboration, we present the discovery and characterization of three exoplanets in the sub-Neptune to super-Neptune regime, spanning key regions of the exo…
Kepler-1624b Has No Significant Transit Timing Variations
Haedam Im, Morgan Saidel, Heather A. Knutson +9
It is relatively rare for gas giant planets to have resonant or near-resonant companions, but these systems are particularly useful for constraining planet formation and migration…
Stellar Obliquities of Young Systems, Atmospheres Undergoing Contraction and Escape (SOYSAUCE): a likely aligned orbit for the 3 Myr planet TIDYE-1 b
Madyson G. Barber, Andrew W. Mann, Marshall C. Johnson +12
Despite the wide range of planet-star (mis)alignments in the mature population of transiting exoplanets, the small number of known young transiting planets are nearly all aligned w…
Identifying close-in Jupiters that arrived via disk migration: Evidence of primordial alignment, preference of nearby companions and hint of runaway migration
Yugo Kawai, Akihiko Fukui, Noriharu Watanabe +2
Two leading hypotheses for hot Jupiter migration are disk migration and high-eccentricity migration (HEM). Stellar obliquity is commonly used to distinguish them, as high obliquity…
The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge
Samuel W. Yee, Patrick Tamburo, Gudmundur Stefánsson +11
The ``Neptunian ridge'' is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and…
Sibling Sub-Neptunes Around Sibling M Dwarfs: TOI-521 and TOI-912
G. Lacedelli, E. Pallé, R. Luque +47
Sub-Neptunes are absent in the Solar System, yet they are commonly found in our Galaxy. They challenge the internal structure models and prompt investigation on their formation, ev…
Validation of TESS Planet Candidates with Multi-Color Transit Photometry and TRICERATOPS+
Jonathan Gomez Barrientos, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Heather A. Knutson +33
We present an upgraded version of TRICERATOPS, a software package designed to calculate false positive probabilities for planet candidates identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Su…
The mass of TOI-654 b: A short-period sub-Neptune transiting a mid-M dwarf
Kai Ikuta, Norio Narita, Takuya Takarada +40
Sub-Neptunes are small planets between the size of the Earth and Neptune. The orbital and bulk properties of transiting sub-Neptunes can provide clues for their formation and evolu…
Updated Masses for the Gas Giants in the Eight-Planet Kepler-90 System Via Transit-Timing Variation and Radial Velocity Observations
David E. Shaw, Lauren M. Weiss, Eric Agol +28
The eight-planet Kepler-90 system exhibits the greatest multiplicity of planets found to date. All eight planets are transiting and were discovered in photometry from the NASA Kepl…
An Aligned Sub-Neptune Revealed with MAROON-X and a Tendency Towards Alignment for Small Planets
Alex S. Polanski, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Andreas Seifahrt +9
We present the Rossiter-McLaughlin measurement of the sub-Neptune TOI-1759A b with MAROON-X. A joint analysis with MuSCAT3 photometry and nine additional TESS transits produces a s…
The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. III. Thirty More Giant Planets
Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +123
We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…
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…
Multi-band, Multi-epoch Photometry of the Spot-crossing System TOI-3884: Refined System Geometry and Spot Properties
Mayuko Mori, Akihiko Fukui, Teruyuki Hirano +10
Spot-crossing transits offer a unique opportunity to probe spot properties such as temperature, size, and surface distribution. TOI-3884 is a rare system in which spot-crossing fea…
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…
