Evidence for the volatile-rich composition of a 1.5- planet
Caroline Piaulet, Björn Benneke, Jose M. Almenara +18
The population of planets smaller than approximately is widely interpreted as consisting of rocky worlds, generally referred to as super-Earths. This picture is larg…
WASP-107b's density is even lower: a case study for the physics of planetary gas envelope accretion and orbital migration
Caroline Piaulet, Björn Benneke, Ryan A. Rubenzahl +21
With a mass in the Neptune regime and a radius of Jupiter, WASP-107b presents a challenge to planet formation theories. Meanwhile, the planet's low surface gravity and the star's b…
A super-Earth and sub-Neptune transiting the late-type M dwarf LP 791-18
Ian J. M. Crossfield, William Waalkes, Elisabeth R. Newton +57
Planets occur most frequently around cool dwarfs, but only a handful of specific examples are known to orbit the latest-type M stars. Using TESS photometry, we report the discovery…
A 2 Earth Radius Planet Orbiting the Bright Nearby K-Dwarf Wolf 503
Merrin S. Peterson, Björn Benneke, Courtney D. Dressing +20
Since its launch in 2009, the Kepler telescope has found thousands of planets with radii between that of Earth and Neptune. Recent studies of the distribution of these planets have…
A TESS Dress Rehearsal: Planetary Candidates and Variables from K2 Campaign 17
Ian J. M. Crossfield, Natalia Guerrero, Trevor David +38
We produce light curves for all ~34,000 targets observed with K2 in Campaign 17 (C17), identifying 34 planet candidates, 184 eclipsing binaries, and 222 other periodic variables. T…
