A first look at the protoplanet WISPIT 2 b with VLTI/GRAVITY+

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter +116

Confirmed observations of young protoplanets actively undergoing the process of formation have remained rare to date. In this Letter, we present new insights into the nature of the…

The Hill sphere transits of Beta Pictoris c and the search for another 1981-like event

V. E. C. Bakker, M. A. Kenworthy, R. Stuik +17

Beta Pictoris is a young and nearby planetary system hosting an edge-on debris disk and at least three gas-giant planets. Their circumplanetary environments could host exomoons and…

Companion architectures of sub-Saturns: Distinct migration pathways across the Neptunian landscape

Luis Thomas, Louise D. Nielsen, Alex J. Cridland +2

Close-in sub-Saturns (4.0 - 8.5 R) are depleted in the Neptunian desert, accumulate in a narrow overdensity near P = 3.2 - 5.7 d (the Neptunian ridge), and thin out into t…

Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Photometric Diagnostics of Magnetospheric Accretion Geometry in Young Stellar Objects

Laura Venuti, Connor E. Robinson, Ann Marie Cody +13

The inner disk truncation radius, , plays a crucial role in the regulation of star-disk interaction and the early evolution of star-disk-planet systems; however, measuring thi…

A population view of transiting hot giant exoplanets: Tracing Fe and Ti chemistry with ESPRESSO and MAROON-X

Bibiana Prinoth, Vivien Parmentier, Stefan Pelletier +9

Hot and ultra-hot Jupiters offer a unique laboratory to study atmospheric chemistry at the population level using ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy. Fe and Ti are key trace…

Stellar Obliquities of Young Systems, Atmospheres Undergoing Contraction and Escape (SOYSAUCE) II: a 135 Myr planet on an aligned orbit with transit timing variations

Madyson G. Barber, Andrew W. Mann, Sydney Vach +16

Young planets (<1 Gyr) provide opportunities to directly probe planet formation and evolution processes in action. However, due to heightened stellar activity, there is a lack of k…

Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Detecting the Primordial, Transiting Exoplanet Population

George Zhou, James G. Rogers, Jennifer A. Burt +17

The close-in small planet population may be formed either with hydrogen/helium dominated envelopes or with water-rich interiors. Both scenarios reproduce the present day planet pop…

Exoplanet atmospheres and demographics in the 2040s

Jens Kammerer, Sydney Vach, Sylvestre Lacour +7

Direct observations of exoplanets probe the demographics and atmospheric composition of young self-luminous companions, yielding insight into their formation and early evolution hi…

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…

A 16 Myr super-Neptune in Upper-Centaurus Lupus and a preliminary survey of transiting planets in Sco-Cen with TESS

Sydney Vach, George Zhou, Andrew W. Mann +25

Measuring the properties of planets younger than about 50 Myr helps to test different planetary formation and evolution models. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)…

The occurrence of small, short-period planets younger than 200 Myr with TESS

Sydney Vach, George Zhou, Chelsea X. Huang +10

Within the first few hundreds of millions of years, many physical processes sculpt the eventual properties of young planets. NASA's TESS mission has surveyed young stellar associat…
