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. ZieliÅski +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…
The Neptunian ridge planet WASP-156 b does not have a polar orbit
M. Lafarga, J. I. Espinoza-Retamal, H. M. Cegla +25
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…
The Neptunian ridge as a natural outcome of high-eccentricity tidal migration
A. Castro-González, V. Bourrier, D. Ehrenreich +3
Recent occurrence-rate analyses have shown that the transition between the Neptunian desert and the savanna is not smooth but instead exhibits an overdensity of planets at $P_{\rm…
Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs
Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98
Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…
Exploring the surface of HD 189733 via Doppler shadow analysis of planetary transits
E. C. Gonçalves, E. Cristo, W. Dethier +6
Transmission spectroscopy has greatly advanced the study of exoplanet atmospheres, but stellar surface heterogeneities can contaminate transit spectra. Characterising how stellar s…
Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs
Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65
The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…
