A Wolf 359 in sheep's clothing: Hunting for substellar companions in the fifth-closest system using combined high-contrast imaging and radial velocity analysis

Rachel Bowens-Rubin, Joseph M. Akana Murphy, Philip M. Hinz +16

Wolf 359 (CN Leo, GJ 406, Gaia DR3 3864972938605115520) is a low-mass star in the fifth-closest neighboring system (2.41 pc). Because of its relative youth and proximity, Wolf 359…

Investigating the Atmospheric Mass Loss of the Kepler-105 Planets Straddling the Radius Gap

Aaron Householder, Lauren M. Weiss, James E. Owen +21

An intriguing pattern among exoplanets is the lack of detected planets between approximately R and R. One proposed explanation for this "radius gap" i…
