Demographics of Close-In TESS Exoplanets Orbiting FGK Main-sequence Stars II. Spectral-Type Dependence and the Neptunian Landscape

Kaiming Cui, David J. Armstrong, Andreas Hadjigeorghiou +6

Understanding how planetary demographics depend on host star properties is essential for constraining planet formation and evolution theories. In this paper, we analyse close-in 0.…

Automatic search for transiting planets in TESS-SPOC FFIs with RAVEN: over 100 newly validated planets and over 2000 vetted candidates

M. Lafarga, D. J. Armstrong, K. Cui +7

Space-based missions such as TESS are identifying a wealth of short-period ( d) transiting planets. Despite the growing number of confirmed and candidate planets, the s…

Demographics of Close-In TESS Exoplanets Orbiting FGK Main-sequence Stars

Kaiming Cui, David J. Armstrong, Andreas Hadjigeorghiou +5

Understanding the demographics of close-in planets is crucial for insights into exoplanet formation and evolution. We present a detailed analysis of occurrence rates for close-in (…

RAVEN: RAnking and Validation of ExoplaNets

Andreas Hadjigeorghiou, David J. Armstrong, Kaiming Cui +5

We present RAVEN, a newly developed vetting and validation pipeline for TESS exoplanet candidates. The pipeline employs a Bayesian framework to derive the posterior probability of…

The NCORES Program: Precise planetary masses, null results, and insight into the planet mass distribution near the radius gap

David J. Armstrong, Ares Osborn, Remo Burn +39

NCORES was a large observing program on the ESO HARPS spectrograph, dedicated to measuring the masses of Neptune-like and smaller transiting planets discovered by the TESS satellit…

K2-399 b is not a planet. The Saturn that wandered through the Neptune desert is actually a hierarchical eclipsing binary

J. Lillo-Box, D. W. Latham, K. A. Collins +19

The transit technique has been very efficient in detecting planet candidate signals over the past decades. The so-called statistical validation approach has become a popular way of…

TESS and ESPRESSO discover a super-Earth and a mini-Neptune orbiting the K-dwarf TOI-238

A. Suárez Mascareño, V. M. Passegger, J. I. González Hernández +53

The number of super-Earth and mini-Neptune planet discoveries has increased significantly in the last two decades thanks to transit and radial velocity surveys. When it is possible…

The positional probability and true host star identification of TESS exoplanet candidates

Andreas Hadjigeorghiou, David J. Armstrong

We present a method for deriving a probabilistic estimate of the true source of a detected TESS transiting event. Our method relies on comparing the observed photometric centroid o…

TOI-332 b: a super dense Neptune found deep within the Neptunian desert

Ares Osborn, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández +49

To date, thousands of planets have been discovered, but there are regions of the orbital parameter space that are still bare. An example is the short period and intermediate mass/r…

Discovery and characterisation of two Neptune-mass planets orbiting HD 212729 with TESS

David J. Armstrong, Ares Osborn, Vardan Adibekyan +33

We report the discovery of two exoplanets orbiting around HD 212729 (TOI\,1052, TIC 317060587), a K star with V=9.51 observed by TESS in Sectors 1 and 13. One exo…

TOI-836: A super-Earth and mini-Neptune transiting a nearby K-dwarf

Faith Hawthorn, Daniel Bayliss, Thomas G. Wilson +137

We present the discovery of two exoplanets transiting TOI-836 (TIC 440887364) using data from TESS Sector 11 and Sector 38. TOI-836 is a bright ( mag), high proper motion…

The HD 137496 system: A dense, hot super-Mercury and a cold Jupiter

T. Azevedo Silva, O. D. S. Demangeon, S. C. C. Barros +28

Most of the currently known planets are small worlds with radii between that of the Earth and that of Neptune. The characterization of planets in this regime shows a large diversit…

The young HD 73583 (TOI-560) planetary system: Two 10-M mini-Neptunes transiting a 500-Myr-old, bright, and active K dwarf

O. Barragán, D. J. Armstrong, D. Gandolfi +103

We present the discovery and characterisation of two transiting planets observed by \textit{TESS} in the light curves of the young and bright (V=9.67) star HD73583 (TOI-560). We pe…

TESS and HARPS reveal two sub-Neptunes around TOI 1062

J. F. Otegi, F. Bouchy, R. Helled +46

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\textit{TESS}) mission was designed to perform an all-sky search of planets around bright and nearby stars. Here we report the discovery…
