J. Lillo-Box, C. Cifuentes, O. Balsalobre-Ruza +56
Hot Jupiters are key targets for understanding planet formation, migration, and atmospheres. Yet, most ground-based follow-up resources for the TESS mission are focused on confirmi…

We report the discovery of a low-mass transiting brown dwarf orbiting TOI-6884 (TIC~156514476, ) from NASA's \textit{Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite} (\text…
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…
SPHEREx confirms predictions for artificial satellite trail pollution in Low Earth Orbit
Alejandro S. Borlaff, Pamela M. Marcum, Steve B. Howell +3
The number of artificial satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is increasing at an exponential rate since 2019. Satellites are visible to both ground and space telescopes, and their…
Predictions of Stellar Occultations by Haumea and the Event of 4 May 2026
José Luis Ortiz, Nicolas Morales, Antonio Ocaña-Pastor +8
Haumea is the third-largest of the five officially recognized dwarf planets and one of the four that reside in the trans-Neptunian region. It is among the most exotic bodies in the…
GJ 523b is a Massive, 170 Myr-old Mega-Earth, Likely on a Polar Orbit
Maxwell A. Kroft, Thomas G. Beatty, Joseph M. Salzer +18
We use WIYN/NEID radial velocity measurements to confirm the planetary nature and measure the mass of the TESS transiting exoplanet candidate around the mid-K dwarf GJ 523 ($V=9.23…
TOI-7169 b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a Metal-Poor Star
Joshua D. Simon, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Jhon Yana Galarza +38
Most known planets are found around metal-rich host stars, which has made it difficult to determine whether a lower metallicity limit for planet formation exists and how the proper…
The Orbital Eccentricity--Radius Distribution for Warm, Single Planets in TESS
Tyler R. Fairnington, Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang +40
We characterize the radius-dependent eccentricity distribution of 219 warm (P = 8--50 days) systems with only one transiting planetary candidate identified during Sectors 1-69 of t…
