Spin-Orbit Geometry of AU Mic b and c from Back-to-Back Transits Observed Contemporaneously with Magellan PFS, LCOGT, and CHEOPS

Zitao Lin, Gyula M. Szabó, Krzysztof Sz. Zieliński +37

Young planets offer a unique window into the early stages of planetary evolution. AU Mic is one of the nearest (9.8 pc) pre-main sequence stars (~20 Myr), hosting two transiting Ne…

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…

No TiO detected in the hot Neptune-desert planet LTT-9779 b in reflected light at high spectral resolution

Sophia R. Vaughan, Jayne L. Birkby, Natasha E. Batalha +12

LTT-9779 b is an inhabitant of the hot Neptune desert and one of only a few planets with a measured high albedo. Characterising the atmosphere of this world is the key to understan…

Using Doppler Imaging to model stellar activity and search for planets around Sun-like stars

Baptiste Klein, Suzanne Aigrain, Michael Cretignier +9

Doppler Imaging (DI) is a well-established technique to map a physical field at a stellar surface from a time series of high-resolution spectra. In this proof-of-concept study, we…

Stellar Obliquity of the Ultra-Short-Period Planet System HD 93963

Huan-Yu Teng, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +24

We report an observation of the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect of the transiting planet HD 93963 Ac, a mini-Neptune planet orbiting a G0-type star with an orbital period of $P_{\r…
