HIP 67522 is a one of the youngest multi-planetary systems discovered to date. The 17 Myr-old, Sun-like star is part of the Scorpius-Centarus OB association and is known to host tw…
The Neptunian ridge planet WASP-156 b does not have a polar orbit
M. Lafarga, J. I. Espinoza-Retamal, H. M. Cegla +26
The population of short-period exo-Neptunes is thought to be shaped by an interplay between different dynamical mechanisms, such as orbital migration and tidal effects, and photoev…
Uncovering the Rapidly Evolving Orbits of the Dynamic TOI-201 System
Ismael Mireles, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Donald Liveoak +47
Studying planetary interactions in exoplanet systems informs theories of planet formation and evolution, providing essential context for understanding our own solar system. We comb…
