Phosphorus abundances and multi-element co-enrichment in nearby FGK stars

Dario Esposito, Giovanni Covone, Donato Giovannelli +9

The distribution of bio-essential elements is key to assessing the chemical fertility of galactic environments. We analyse phosphorus abundances for 233 nearby FGK stars from the H…

Characterization of two new transiting sub-Neptunes and a terrestrial planet around M-dwarf hosts

E. Poultourtzidis, G. Lacedelli, E. Pallé +49

We report the confirmation of three transiting exoplanets orbiting TOI-1243 (LSPM~J0902+7138), TOI-4529 (G~2--21), and TOI-5388 (Wolf~346) that were initially detected by TESS thro…

TOI-333b: A Neptune Desert planet around a F7V star

Douglas R. Alves, James S. Jenkins, José I. Vinés +29

Observations have shown that planets similar to Neptune are rarely found orbiting Sun-like stars with periods up to ~4 days, defining the so-called Neptune desert region. Therefore…

The TESS Ten Thousand Catalog: 10,001 uniformly-vetted and -validated Eclipsing Binary Stars detected in Full-Frame Image data by machine learning and analyzed by citizen scientists

Veselin B. Kostov, Brian P. Powell, Aline U. Fornear +36

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has surveyed nearly the entire sky in Full-Frame Image mode with a time resolution of 200 seconds to 30 minutes and a temporal base…

DART-Vetter: A Deep LeARning Tool for automatic triage of exoplanet candidates

Stefano Fiscale, Laura Inno, Alessandra Rotundi +12

In the identification of new planetary candidates in transit surveys, the employment of Deep Learning models proved to be essential to efficiently analyse a continuously growing vo…

Revisiting the conundrum of the sub-Jovian and Neptune desert. A new approach that incorporates stellar properties

Christian Magliano, Giovanni Covone, Enrico Corsaro +5

The search for exoplanets has led to the identification of intriguing patterns in their distributions, one of which is the so-called sub-Jovian and Neptune desert. The occurrence r…

Three short-period Earth-sized planets around M dwarfs discovered by TESS: TOI-5720b, TOI-6008b and TOI-6086b

K. Barkaoui, R. P. Schwarz, N. Narita +53

One of the main goals of the NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission is the discovery of Earth-like planets around nearby M-dwarf stars. Here, we present the di…

The PLATO Mission

Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…

PLATO on the shoulders of TESS: analyzing mono-transit planet candidates in TESS data as a prior knowledge for PLATO observations

Christian Magliano, Giovanni Covone, Valerio Nascimbeni +9

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the upcoming PLATO mission (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) represent two space-based missions with complementary…

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XI: An Earth-sized Planet Orbiting a Nearby, Solar-like Host in the 400Myr Ursa Major Moving Group

Benjamin K. Capistrant, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew Vanderburg +32

Young terrestrial worlds are critical test beds to constrain prevailing theories of planetary formation and evolution. We present the discovery of HD 63433d - a nearby (22pc), Eart…

A systematic validation of hot Neptunes in TESS data

Christian Magliano, Giovanni Covone, Richa Dobal +26

We statistically validated a sample of hot Neptune candidates applying a two-step vetting technique using DAVE and TRICERATOPS. We performed a systematic validation of 250 transit-…

TESS discovery of a super-Earth and two sub-Neptunes orbiting the bright, nearby, Sun-like star HD 22946

Luca Cacciapuoti, Laura Inno, Giovanni Covone +51

We report the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discovery of a three-planet system around the bright Sun-like star HD~22946(V=8.3 mag),also known as TIC~100990000, locat…
