The TOI-178 system consists of a nearby late K-dwarf transited by six planets in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regime, with orbital periods between 1.9 and 20.7 days. All planets…
CHEOPS and TESS view of the ultra-short period super-Earth TOI-561 b
J. A. Patel, J. A. Egger, T. G. Wilson +75
Ultra-short period planets (USPs) are a unique class of super-Earths with an orbital period of less than a day and hence subject to intense radiation from their host star. While mo…
Investigating the visible phase-curve variability of 55 Cnc e
E. A. Meier Valdés, B. M. Morris, B. -O. Demory +87
55 Cnc e is an ultra-short period super-Earth transiting a Sun-like star. Previous observations in the optical range detected a time-variable flux modulation that is phased with th…
Refined parameters of the HD 22946 planetary system and the true orbital period of planet d
Z. Garai, H. P. Osborn, D. Gandolfi +85
Multi-planet systems are important sources of information regarding the evolution of planets. However, the long-period planets in these systems often escape detection. HD 22946 is…
TOI-5678 b: A 48-day transiting Neptune-mass planet characterized with CHEOPS and HARPS
S. Ulmer-Moll, H. P. Osborn, A. Tuson +92
A large sample of long-period giant planets has been discovered thanks to long-term radial velocity surveys, but only a few dozen of these planets have a precise radius measurement…
TOI-1130: A photodynamical analysis of a hot Jupiter in resonance with an inner low-mass planet
J. Korth, D. Gandolfi, J. Šubjak +59
The TOI-1130 is a known planetary system around a K-dwarf consisting of a gas giant planet, TOI-1130 c, on an 8.4-day orbit, accompanied by an inner Neptune-sized planet, TOI-1130…
Discovery of a substellar companion in the TESS light curve of the Scuti/ Doradus hybrid pulsator HD 31221
Sz. Kálmán, A. Derekas, Sz. Csizmadia +9
Close-in, sub-stellar companions to Scuti type stars present a highly suitable testbed for examining how planetary-mass objects can influence stellar pulsations. We aim to cons…
