TESS's First Bound Microlensing Planet: A Binary Microlensing Event Revealing a Planetary Companion toward the Galactic Plane
Mallory Harris, Diana Dragomir, Etienne Bachelet +2
We report the discovery of Gaia23bra b, the first gravitationally bound microlensing planet detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Initially flagged as a sin…
Glossy Silicate Clouds on the Scorched Dayside of LTT9779b
Suman Saha, James S. Jenkins, Jonathan Brande +10
Discovered deep within the "Neptunian desert", LTT9779b remains the only known ultra-hot Neptune, prompting significant speculation regarding its unique formation and evolutionary…
RV and TTV Measurements of Two Transiting Long-Period Giants around TOI-4600
Tong Hu, Zitao Lin, Sharon X. Wang +27
TOI-4600b and c, originally identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and reported by I. Mireles et al. (2023), are a rare pair of transiting long-period giant…
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…
JWST COMPASS: A NIRSpec G395H Transmission Spectrum of Radius Valley-Dweller TOI-260 b
Annabella Meech, Peter Gao, Nicole L. Wallack +16
We present a JWST/NIRSpec G395H transmission spectrum of TOI-260 b, a K, planet. The transmission spectrum is derived by com…
Characterising the Atmosphere of 55 Cancri e: 1D Forward Model Grid for Current and Future JWST Observations
Mantas Zilinskas, Christiaan van Buchem, Sebastian Zieba +9
Recent JWST observations with NIRCam and MIRI of the ultra-short-period super-Earth 55 Cancri e indicate a possible volatile atmosphere surrounding the planet. Previous analysis of…
