Demographics of M Dwarf Binary Exoplanet Hosts Discovered by TESS
Rachel A. Matson, Rebecca Gore, Steve B. Howell +15
M dwarfs have become increasingly important in the detection of exoplanets and the study of Earth-sized planets and their habitability. However, 20-30% of M dwarfs have companions…
OrCAS: Origins, Compositions, and Atmospheres of Sub-neptunes. I. Survey Definition
Ian J. M. Crossfield, Alex S. Polanski, Paul Robertson +61
Sub-Neptunes - volatile-rich exoplanets smaller than Neptune - are intrinsically the most common type of planet known. However, the formation and nature of these objects, as well a…
The Compositions of Rocky Planets in Close-in Orbits Tend to be Earth-Like
Casey L. Brinkman, Lauren M. Weiss, Daniel Huber +54
Hundreds of exoplanets between 1-1.8 times the size of the Earth have been discovered on close in orbits. However, these planets show such a diversity in densities that some appear…
TESS discovery of two super-Earths orbiting the M-dwarf stars TOI-6002 and TOI-5713 near the radius valley
M. Ghachoui, B. V. Rackham, M. Dévora-Pajares +45
We present the validation of two TESS super-Earth candidates transiting the mid-M dwarfs TOI-6002 and TOI-5713 every 10.90 and 10.44 days, respectively. The first star (TOI-6002) i…
Revisiting the Relationship Between Rocky Exoplanet and Stellar Compositions: Reduced Evidence for a Super-Mercury Population
Casey L. Brinkman, Alex S. Polanski, Daniel Huber +3
Planets and the stars they orbit are born from the same cloud of gas and dust, and the primordial compositions of rocky exoplanets have been assumed to have iron and refractory abu…
The 50-Myr-Old TOI-942c is Likely on an Aligned, Coplanar Orbit and Losing Mass
Huan-Yu Teng, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +4
We report the observation of the transiting planet TOI-942c, a Neptunian planet orbiting a young K-type star approximately 50 Myr years old. Using Keck/HIRES, we observed a partial…
An Earth-sized Planet on the Verge of Tidal Disruption
Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard, Samuel Halverson +95
TOI-6255~b (GJ 4256) is an Earth-sized planet (1.079 ) with an orbital period of only 5.7 hours. With the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder (KPF) and CARMEN…
High-resolution Elemental Abundance Measurements of Cool JWST Planet Hosts Using AutoSpecFit: An Application to the Sub-Neptune K2-18b's Host M dwarf
Neda Hejazi, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Diogo Souto +9
We present an in-depth, high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of the M dwarf K2-18 that hosts a sub-Neptune exoplanet in its habitable zone. We show our technique to accurately no…
The California Legacy Survey V. Chromospheric Activity Cycles in Main Sequence Stars
Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard, Benjamin Fulton +31
We present optical spectroscopy of 710 solar neighborhood stars collected over twenty years to catalog chromospheric activity and search for stellar activity cycles. The California…
A low-mass sub-Neptune planet transiting the bright active star HD 73344
S. Sulis, I. J. M. Crossfield, A. Santerne +33
Context. Planets with radii of between 2-4 RE closely orbiting solar-type stars are of significant importance for studying the transition from rocky to giant planets. Aims. Our goa…
The TESS-Keck Survey XX: 15 New TESS Planets and a Uniform RV Analysis of all Survey Targets
Alex S. Polanski, Jack Lubin, Corey beard +69
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered hundreds of new worlds, with TESS planet candidates now outnumbering the total number of confirmed planets from $\te…
The TESS-Keck Survey. XXII. A sub-Neptune Orbiting TOI-1437
Daria Pidhorodetska, Emily A. Gilbert, Stephen R. Kane +40
Exoplanet discoveries have revealed a dramatic diversity of planet sizes across a vast array of orbital architectures. Sub-Neptunes are of particular interest; due to their absence…
Planet Hunters TESS V: a planetary system around a binary star, including a mini-Neptune in the habitable zone
Nora L. Eisner, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Oscar Barragán +61
We report on the discovery and validation of a transiting long-period mini-Neptune orbiting a bright (V = 9.0 mag) G dwarf (TOI 4633; R = 1.05 RSun, M = 1.10 MSun). The planet was…
A Perfect Tidal Storm: HD 104067 Planetary Architecture Creating an Incandescent World
Stephen R. Kane, Tara Fetherolf, Zhexing Li +5
The discovery of planetary systems beyond the solar system has revealed a diversity of architectures, most of which differ significantly from our system. The initial detection of a…
The TESS-Keck Survey XXI: 13 New Planets and Homogeneous Properties for 21 Subgiant Systems
Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Samuel K. Grunblatt +67
We present a dedicated transit and radial velocity survey of planets orbiting subgiant stars observed by the TESS Mission. Using nights on Keck/HIRES, we confirm and cha…
The TESS-Keck Survey. XII. A Dense 1.8 R Ultra-Short-Period Planet Possibly Clinging to a High-Mean-Molecular-Weight Atmosphere After the First Gyr
Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +39
The extreme environments of ultra-short-period planets (USPs) make excellent laboratories to study how exoplanets obtain, lose, retain, and/or regain gaseous atmospheres. We presen…
