The Compositions of Rocky Planets in Close-in Orbits Tend to be Earth-Like
Casey L. Brinkman, Lauren M. Weiss, Daniel Huber +54
Hundreds of exoplanets between 1-1.8 times the size of the Earth have been discovered on close in orbits. However, these planets show such a diversity in densities that some appear…

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered hundreds of new worlds, with TESS planet candidates now outnumbering the total number of confirmed planets from $\te…
The TESS-Keck Survey. XXII. A sub-Neptune Orbiting TOI-1437
Daria Pidhorodetska, Emily A. Gilbert, Stephen R. Kane +40
Exoplanet discoveries have revealed a dramatic diversity of planet sizes across a vast array of orbital architectures. Sub-Neptunes are of particular interest; due to their absence…
Planet Hunters TESS V: a planetary system around a binary star, including a mini-Neptune in the habitable zone
Nora L. Eisner, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Oscar Barragán +61
We report on the discovery and validation of a transiting long-period mini-Neptune orbiting a bright (V = 9.0 mag) G dwarf (TOI 4633; R = 1.05 RSun, M = 1.10 MSun). The planet was…
The TESS-Keck Survey. XII. A Dense 1.8 R Ultra-Short-Period Planet Possibly Clinging to a High-Mean-Molecular-Weight Atmosphere After the First Gyr
Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +39
The extreme environments of ultra-short-period planets (USPs) make excellent laboratories to study how exoplanets obtain, lose, retain, and/or regain gaseous atmospheres. We presen…
The TESS-Keck Survey XVII: Precise Mass Measurements in a Young, High Multiplicity Transiting Planet System using Radial Velocities and Transit Timing Variations
Corey Beard, Paul Robertson, Fei Dai +41
We present a radial velocity (RV) analysis of TOI-1136, a bright TESS system with six confirmed transiting planets, and a seventh single-transiting planet candidate. All planets in…
WASP-69b's Escaping Envelope is Confined to a Tail Extending at Least Seven Planet Radii
Dakotah Tyler, Erik A. Petigura, Antonija Oklopčić +1
Studying the escaping atmospheres of highly-irradiated exoplanets is critical for understanding the physical mechanisms that shape the demographics of close-in planets. A number of…
TESS Giants Transiting Giants V -- Two hot Jupiters orbiting red-giant hosts
Filipe Pereira, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Angelica Psaridi +24
In this work we present the discovery and confirmation of two hot Jupiters orbiting red-giant stars, TOI-4377 b and TOI-4551 b, observed by TESS in the southern ecliptic hemisphere…
The TESS-Keck Survey. XVI. Mass Measurements for 12 Planets in Eight Systems
Joseph M. Akana Murphy, Natalie M. Batalha, Nicholas Scarsdale +44
With JWST's successful deployment and unexpectedly high fuel reserves, measuring the masses of sub-Neptunes transiting bright, nearby stars will soon become the bottleneck for char…
A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star
Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Nicholas Z. Rui +39
When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, c…
