Exploring Warm Jupiter Migration Pathways with Eccentricities II. Correlations with Host Star Properties and Orbital Separation

Marvin Morgan, Brendan P. Bowler, Quang H. Tran

Warm Jupiters with orbital periods of 10-365 d represent a population of giant planets located well within the water ice line but beyond the region of tidal influence of t…

Exploring Warm Jupiter Migration Pathways with Eccentricities. I. Catalog of Uniform Keplerian Fits to Radial Velocities of 200 Warm Jupiters

Marvin Morgan, Brendan P. Bowler, Quang H. Tran +4

Giant planets are expected to predominantly form beyond the water ice line and occasionally undergo inward migration. Unlike hot Jupiters, which can result from high-eccentricity t…

One-third of Sun-like stars are born with misaligned planet-forming disks

Lauren I. Biddle, Brendan P. Bowler, Marvin Morgan +2

Exoplanets are organized in a broad array of orbital configurations that reflect their formation along with billions of years of dynamical processing through gravitational interact…

JWST/NIRCam 4-5 m Imaging of the Giant Planet AF Lep b

Kyle Franson, William O. Balmer, Brendan P. Bowler +23

With a dynamical mass of , the recently discovered giant planet AF Lep b is the lowest-mass imaged planet with a direct mass measurement. Its youth and spectra…

Potential Melting of Extrasolar Planets by Tidal Dissipation

Darryl Z. Seligman, Adina D. Feinstein, Dong Lai +6

Tidal heating on Io due to its finite eccentricity was predicted to drive surface volcanic activity, which was subsequently confirmed by the spacecrafts. Althoug…

Signs of Similar Stellar Obliquity Distributions for Hot and Warm Jupiters Orbiting Cool Stars

Marvin Morgan, Brendan P. Bowler, Quang H. Tran +3

Transiting giant planets provide a natural opportunity to examine stellar obliquities, which offer clues about the origin and dynamical histories of close-in planets. Hot Jupiters…

Astrometric Accelerations as Dynamical Beacons: A Giant Planet Imaged Inside the Debris Disk of the Young Star AF Lep

Kyle Franson, Brendan P. Bowler, Yifan Zhou +13

We present the direct imaging discovery of a giant planet orbiting the young star AF Lep, a 1.2 member of the 24 3 Myr Pic moving group. AF Lep was observed a…

Rotation Periods, Inclinations, and Obliquities of Cool Stars Hosting Directly Imaged Substellar Companions: Spin-Orbit Misalignments are Common

Brendan P. Bowler, Quang H. Tran, Zhoujian Zhang +10

The orientation between a star's spin axis and a planet's orbital plane provides valuable information about the system's formation and dynamical history. For non-transiting planets…

Collisional Growth Within the Solar System's Primordial Planetesimal Disk and the Timing of the Giant Planet Instability

Marvin Morgan, Darryl Seligman, Konstantin Batygin

The large scale structure of the Solar System has been shaped by a transient dynamical instability that may have been triggered by the interaction of the giants planets with a mass…
