Unraveling the Brown Dwarf Desert: Four New Discoveries and a Unifying, Period-Coded Picture

Ján Šubjak, Rafael Brahm, Jozef Lipták +30

We present four newly validated transiting brown dwarfs identified through TESS photometry and confirmed with high-precision radial velocity measurements obtained from the FEROS an…

PLATOSpec's first results: planets WASP-35b and TOI-622b are on aligned orbits, and K2-237b is on a polar orbit

J. Zak, P. Kabath, H. M. J. Boffin +10

The spin-orbit angle between a stellar spin axis and its planetary orbital axis is a key diagnostic of planetary migration pathways, yet the mechanisms shaping the observed spin-or…

Stellar obliquities of eight close-in gas giant exoplanets

J. Zak, H. M. J. Boffin, E. Sedaghati +4

The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect allows us to measure the projected stellar obliquity of exoplanets. From the spin-orbit alignment, planet formation and migration theories can be tes…

Spectroscopic observations of flares and superflares on AU Mic

P. Odert, M. Leitzinger, R. Greimel +13

The young active flare star AU~Mic is the planet host star with the highest flare rate from TESS data. Therefore, it represents an ideal target for dedicated ground-based monitorin…
