Transit timing and starspot-induced transit depth variations in the 17 Myr old HIP 67522 system
H. Chakraborty, M. Lendl, A. Nigioni +27
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…

We present the low-resolution optical transmission spectrum of the inflated hot Saturn HAT-P-44b. The planet is a close sibling in radius (1.24 ), temperature (11…
TIC-65910228 b / NGTS-38 b, a 180 day transiting warm super-Jupiter
Toby Rodel, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +63
We present the discovery of TIC-65910228 b / NGTS-38 b, a giant exoplanet with a radius of R and a mass of M on a long-…
BOWIE-ALIGN: Sub-solar C/O ratio and metallicity atmosphere of the misaligned hot Jupiter HAT-P-30b
Alastair B. Claringbold, Chloe E. Fisher, James Kirk +18
We present the JWST NIRSpec/G395H transmission spectrum of the misaligned hot Jupiter HAT-P-30b from 2.8--5.2 m as part of the BOWIE-ALIGN survey, a comparative survey designed…
Mass estimates of the young TOI-451 transiting planets: Multidimensional Gaussian Process on stellar spectroscopic and photometric signals
Oscar Barragán, Manuel Mallorquín, Jorge Fernández-Fernández +30
The young TOI-451 planetary system, aged 125 Myr, provides a unique opportunity to test theories of planetary internal structures and atmospheric mass loss through examination of i…
TOI-333b: A Neptune Desert planet around a F7V star
Douglas R. Alves, James S. Jenkins, José I. Vinés +29
Observations have shown that planets similar to Neptune are rarely found orbiting Sun-like stars with periods up to ~4 days, defining the so-called Neptune desert region. Therefore…
Resolving star spots on WASP-85 A using high-resolution transit spectroscopy
Vedad Kunovac, Heather Cegla, Hritam Chakraborty +23
Stellar surface inhomogeneities such as spots and faculae introduce Doppler variations that challenge exoplanet detection via the radial velocity method. While their impact on disc…
