TOI-6884b: A low-mass brown dwarf transiting a slightly evolved star
Akanksha Khandelwal, Shubhendra Nath Das, Rishikesh Sharma +42
We report the discovery of a low-mass transiting brown dwarf orbiting TOI-6884 (TIC~156514476, ) from NASA's \textit{Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite} (\text…
A Previously Underexplored Regime in TESS: Minute-Scale Eclipses Reveal Ten White Dwarf-Cool M-Dwarf Binaries
Tristan Cavalier, Julien de Wit, Mathilde Timmermans +14
Short-period white-dwarf (WD) binaries are post-common-envelope systems that constrain orbital shrinkage, envelope evolution, and the survival of low-mass companions. We report the…
A gem system with a lava world and a habitable zone sub-Neptune orbiting TOI-1752
A. Peláez-Torres, F. J. Pozuelos, G. Morello +47
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has delivered a large number of transiting planet candidates around nearby stars by identifying periodic decreases in stellar brigh…
TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf
F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44
Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…
TOI-1080 b: a temperate, rocky planet orbiting a quiet M4V host
Y. Gómez Maqueo Chew, G. Dransfield, K. Barkaoui +41
We present the detection and validation of a small, temperate transiting exoplanet orbiting TOI-1080 every 3.9652482 days. The host is a quiet M4V star…
Two temperate Earth- and Neptune-sized planets orbiting fully convective M dwarfs
Madison G. Scott, Georgina Dransfield, Mathilde Timmermans +30
As the diversity of exoplanets continues to grow, it is important to revisit assumptions about habitability and classical HZ definitions. In this work, we introduce an expanded 'te…
