The Spin-Orbit Alignment of 8 Warm Gas Giant Systems
Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Andrés Jordán, Rafael Brahm +9
Essential information about the formation and evolution of planetary systems can be found in their architectures -- in particular, in stellar obliquity () -- as they serve as 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…
Searching for GEMS: TOI-6383Ab, a giant planet transiting an M3-dwarf star in a binary system
Lia Marta Bernabò, Shubham Kanodia, Caleb I. Canas +22
We report on the discovery of a transiting giant planet around the 3500 K M3-dwarf star TOI-6383A located 172 pc from Earth. It was detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Sate…
The NEID Earth Twin Survey. I. Confirmation of a 31-day planet orbiting HD 86728
Arvind F. Gupta, Jacob K. Luhn, Jason T. Wright +21
With close to three years of observations in hand, the NEID Earth Twin Survey (NETS) is starting to unearth new astrophysical signals for a curated sample of bright, radial velocit…
Data-Driven Modeling of Telluric Features and Stellar Variability with StellarSpectraObservationFitting.jl
Christian Gilbertson, Eric B. Ford, Samuel Halverson +11
A significant barrier to achieving the radial velocity (RV) measurement accuracy and precision required to characterize terrestrial mass exoplanets is the existence of time-variabl…
Searching for GEMS: Characterizing Six Giant Planets around Cool Dwarfs
Shubham Kanodia, Arvind F. Gupta, Caleb I. Canas +42
Transiting giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars (GEMS) are rare, owing to the low-mass host stars. However, the all-sky coverage of TESS has enabled the detection of an increasing…
Asteroseismology of the Nearby K-Dwarf Draconis using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS
Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Yaguang Li +76
Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging due to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here, we present the asteroseismic detection…
Quiet Please: Detrending Radial Velocity Variations from Stellar Activity with a Physically Motivated Spot Model
Jared C. Siegel, Samuel Halverson, Jacob K. Luhn +15
For solar-type stars, spots and their associated magnetic regions induce radial velocity perturbations through the Doppler rotation signal and the suppression of convective blueshi…
KPF Confirms a Polar Orbit for KELT-18 b
Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Fei Dai, Samuel Halverson +24
We present the first spectroscopic transit results from the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder on the Keck-I telescope at W. M. Keck Observatory. We observed a transit of KELT-1…
Obliquity Constraints for the Extremely Eccentric Sub-Saturn Kepler-1656 b
Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Andrew W. Howard, Samuel Halverson +25
The orbits of close-in exoplanets provide clues to their formation and evolutionary history. Many close-in exoplanets likely formed far out in their protoplanetary disks and migrat…
The OATMEAL Survey. I. Low Stellar Obliquity in the Transiting Brown Dwarf System GPX-1
Steven Giacalone, Fei Dai, J. J. Zanazzi +31
We introduce the OATMEAL survey, an effort to measure the obliquities of stars with transiting brown dwarf companions. We observed a transit of the close-in ($P_{\rm orb} = 1.74 \,…
