The KPF SURFS-UP Survey I: Transmission Spectroscopy of WASP-76 b

Aaron Householder, Fei Dai, Aurora Kesseli +25

We introduce the KPF SURFS-UP (Spectroscopy of the Upper-atmospheres and ReFractory Species in Ultra-hot Planets) Survey, a high-resolution survey to investigate the atmospheric co…

Uniform Metallicity Measurements of M Dwarf Planet Hosts Support Metallicity-Dependent Sub-Neptune Formation

Emma V. Turtelboom, Steven Giacalone, Rebecca Gore +6

M dwarfs are the most common sites of planet formation in the Milky Way. Planet occurrence and composition are closely linked with the availability of metals in protoplanetary disk…

The GAPS programme at TNG: LXXVI. TOI-1533: a compact system hosting a super-Neptune-mass pair with disparate radii

G. Mantovan, V. Nascimbeni, S. Desidera +49

The present-day architecture of planetary systems contains information about their formation and migration histories. The origin of hot Jupiters (HJs, P 10 d, $R_{\rm p}…

COUNTESS I: A Uniformly Vetted Catalog of Known and New Transiting Exoplanets in the TESS Northern Continuous Viewing Zone

Andrew Hotnisky, Rachel B. Fernandes, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +9

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has transformed the study of nearby exoplanetary systems; however, its nominal observing strategy limits sensitivity to planets wit…

The KPF-SLOPE Survey - Small, Compact Multi-Planet Systems Appear Spin-Orbit Aligned

Luke B. Handley, Andrew W. Howard, Fei Dai +16

The angle between stellar spin axes and planetary orbits -- stellar obliquity -- probes the dynamics of planetary migration and evolution. The obliquities of giant planets have bee…
