The Discovery of K2-232c: Divergent Formation Histories for Hot and Warm Jupiters Based on Outer Companion Eccentricity

Jessica A. Ranshaw, Xian-Yu Wang, Jennifer A. Burt +6

Ever since their discovery, hot Jupiters have been one of the most studied types of exoplanets to exist thanks to their significant size, their proximity to their host star, and th…

RVTESS I: Modeling Asteroseismic Signals with Simultaneous Photometry and RVs

Jiaxin Tang, Sharon X. Wang, Yaguang Li +22

Detecting small planets via the radial velocity method remains challenged by signals induced by stellar variability, versus the effects of the planet(s). Here, we explore using Gau…

Precise Radial Velocities

Jennifer A. Burt, Xavier Dumusque, Samuel Halverson

Precise measurements of a star's radial velocity (RV) made using extremely stable, high resolution, optical or near infrared spectrographs can be used to determine the masses and o…

The NCORES Program: Precise planetary masses, null results, and insight into the planet mass distribution near the radius gap

David J. Armstrong, Ares Osborn, Remo Burn +39

NCORES was a large observing program on the ESO HARPS spectrograph, dedicated to measuring the masses of Neptune-like and smaller transiting planets discovered by the TESS satellit…

Effects of planetary mass uncertainties on the interpretation of the reflectance spectra of Earth-like exoplanets

Mario Damiano, Zachary Burr, Renyu Hu +2

Atmospheric characterization of Earth-like exoplanets through reflected light spectroscopy is a key goal for upcoming direct imaging missions. A critical challenge in this endeavor…

Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Characterizing the photochemical inputs and transit detection efficiencies of young planets using multiwavelength flare observations by TESS and Swift

Ward S. Howard, Meredith A. MacGregor, Adina D. Feinstein +6

Ultraviolet flare emission can drive photochemistry in exoplanet atmospheres and even serve as the primary source of uncertainty in atmospheric retrievals. Additionally, flare ener…

Asteroseismology of the Nearby K-Dwarf Draconis using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS

Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Yaguang Li +76

Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging due to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here, we present the asteroseismic detection…

Surviving in the Hot Neptune Desert: The Discovery of the Ultra-Hot Neptune TOI-3261b

Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer A. Burt +45

The recent discoveries of Neptune-sized ultra-short period planets (USPs) challenge existing planet formation theories. It is unclear whether these residents of the Hot Neptune Des…

A Testbed for Tidal Migration: the 3D Architecture of an Eccentric Hot Jupiter HD 118203 b Accompanied by a Possibly Aligned Outer Giant Planet

Jingwen Zhang, Daniel Huber, Lauren M. Weiss +31

Characterizing outer companions to hot Jupiters plays a crucial role in deciphering their origins. We present the discovery of a long-period giant planet, HD 118203 c ($m_{c}=11.79…

Planetary system around the nearby M dwarf GJ 357 including a transiting, hot, Earth-sized planet optimal for atmospheric characterization

R. Luque, E. Pallé, D. Kossakowski +73

We report the detection of a transiting Earth-size planet around GJ 357, a nearby M2.5V star, using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). GJ 357 b (TOI-562.01…
