A Bayesian Search for Planet Engulfment Signatures in Solar Analogs

Zimo Cheng, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Fan Liu +11

We present a systematic Bayesian search for chemical fingerprints of planet engulfment in 113 solar twins and analogs with high-precision abundance measurements, 45 of which host k…

The Sun's chemical peculiarity: disentangling Galactic chemical evolution and planetary engulfment in solar twins

Mia Babatsikos, Fan Liu, Amanda Karakas +5

Recent observational studies have suggested that the Sun may be chemically peculiar relative to the majority of solar twins. Here, we re-analyse high-resolution, high signal-to-noi…

Spin-Orbit Geometry of AU Mic b and c from Back-to-Back Transits Observed Contemporaneously with Magellan PFS, LCOGT, and CHEOPS

Zitao Lin, Gyula M. Szabó, Krzysztof Sz. Zieliński +37

Young planets offer a unique window into the early stages of planetary evolution. AU Mic is one of the nearest (9.8 pc) pre-main sequence stars (~20 Myr), hosting two transiting Ne…

Exoplanets in ancient stellar populations: occurrence constraints and hot-Jupiter candidates in the Galactic halo

Dolev Bashi, Michelle Kunimoto, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +3

The Galactic halo preserves a record of the Milky Way's earliest assembly and contains both in-situ stars and stars accreted from dwarf galaxies. Possible planets around these star…

JWST Exoplanetary Worlds and Elemental Survey (JEWELS) II: Condensation Temperature Trends and Galactic Chemical Evolution in JWST Planet-Hosting Stars

Qinghui Sun, Xianyu Tan, Gordon +5

We present high-precision chemical abundances for 25 FGK-type stars hosting exoplanets observed in JWST Cycle 3 programs and all GTO and DDT programs from Cycles 1-3, based on high…

Two warm sub-Saturn mass planets identified from the TESS Full Frame Images

Felipe I. Rojas, Rafael Brahm, Andrés Jordán +47

Context. Characterization of warm giants is crucial to constrain giant planet formation and evolution. Measuring the mass and radius of these planets, combined with their moderated…
