Discovery of an Eccentric Hot Super-Jupiter Leaving the Transiting Geometry of the Early-A-type star TOI-1355
Noriharu Watanabe, Norio Narita, Akihiko Fukui +20
Hot Jupiters orbiting hot stars ( K) are suggested to have experienced high-eccentricity migration, often evidenced by the tendency for misaligned orbits, de…
Observing a 542-day transiting giant with large TTVs: The 2025 transit of HIP 41378 f and new constraints on the outer system
Pietro Leonardi, Alexandre Santerne, Luca Borsato +27
Characterizing long-period transiting exoplanets is inherently challenging due to the rarity and long duration of transit events. Yet, these systems provide unique insights into pl…
The mass of TOI-1883 b: A low density super-Neptune in the ridge regime transiting an early-M dwarf
Izuru Fukuda, Norio Narita, Akihiko Fukui +36
Recent large-scale transit surveys conducted by space telescopes such as Kepler and TESS have revealed a vast number of exoplanets, uncovering the diversity of their population. On…
Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903
Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173
Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…
Identifying close-in Jupiters that arrived via disk migration: Evidence of primordial alignment, preference of nearby companions and hint of runaway migration
Yugo Kawai, Akihiko Fukui, Noriharu Watanabe +2
Two leading hypotheses for hot Jupiter migration are disk migration and high-eccentricity migration (HEM). Stellar obliquity is commonly used to distinguish them, as high obliquity…
The mass of TOI-654 b: A short-period sub-Neptune transiting a mid-M dwarf
Kai Ikuta, Norio Narita, Takuya Takarada +40
Sub-Neptunes are small planets between the size of the Earth and Neptune. The orbital and bulk properties of transiting sub-Neptunes can provide clues for their formation and evolu…
