Constraining an exoplanets magnetic field using star-planet interactions

D. Revilla, P. J. Amado, R. Luque +17

Theory predicts that a planet with a sufficiently strong magnetic field orbiting close to its host star could induce star-planet magnetic interactions. This is potentially observab…

Spectroscopic Alerts for the Time-Domain Era

Alejandra Melo, Paula Sanchez-Saez, Valentin D. Ivanov +13

Time-domain astronomy is entering an era of unprecedented discovery driven by wide-field, high-cadence surveys such as LSST, Roman, Euclid, SKA, and PLATO. While some of these faci…

Transients as Determinants of Habitability

Fatemeh Zahra Majidi, Katia Biazzo, Maria Tsantaki +7

Stellar magnetic activity, manifested through spots (faculae and flares), fundamentally shapes the exoplanets' environments. For low-mass stars in particular, where most habitable-…

Toward the time-domain spectroscopic study of the dynamic life of stars: from accretion to magnetic activity

Fatemeh Zahra Majidi, Amelia Bayo, Marc Audard +11

Stars and planets can be seen as the second fundamental building blocks of baryons in the universe (only second to the dust and gas in molecular clouds). Their formation involves d…

The VELOCE modulation zoo III. Detecting additional pulsation modes in optical spectra of classical Cepheids using semi-partial distance correlation periodograms

Kent Barbey, Richard Irving Anderson, Giordano Viviani +5

Known for their large amplitude radial pulsations, classical Cepheids are critical standard candles in astrophysics. However, they also exhibit various pulsational irregularities a…

GJ 2126 b: A highly eccentric Jovian exoplanet

Arbel Schorr, Avraham Binnenfeld, Shay Zucker

We report the discovery of GJ 2126 b, a highly eccentric (e = 0.85) Jupiter-like planet orbiting its host star every 272.7 days. The planet was detected and characterized using 112…

Wide Binary Orbits are Preferentially Aligned with the Orbits of Small Planets, but Probably Not Hot Jupiters

Sam Christian, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker +28

Studying the relative orientations of the orbits of exoplanets and wide-orbiting binary companions (semimajor axis greater than 100 AU) can shed light on how planets form and evolv…

Adaptation of the Phase Distance Correlation Periodogram to Account for Measurement Uncertainties

Avraham Binnenfeld, Sahar Shahaf, Shay Zucker

We present an improvement of the phase distance correlation (PDC) periodogram to account for uncertainties in the time-series data. The PDC periodogram introduced in our previous p…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…
