Searching for GEMS: TOI-5916 b & TOI-6158 b are two Saturn-density planets orbiting M2 dwarfs

Shane O'Brien, Amber Wong, Te Han +20

We confirm the planetary nature of (1) TOI-5916 b and (2) TOI-6158 b, two Exoplanets Transiting M-dwarf Stars (GEMS), both discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (…

A Catalog of M&M Eclipsing Binaries with TESS

Dominic Oddo, Diana Dragomir, Brian P. Powell +2

We present a catalog of 1292 low-mass (M&M) short-period eclipsing binaries observed by the TESS mission. Eclipsing binaries are useful for many aspects of stellar astrophysics, in…

Searching for GEMS: TOI-7149~b an Inflated Giant Planet causing a 12% Transit of a Fully Convective M-dwarf

Shubham Kanodia, Caleb I. Cañas, Suvrath Mahadevan +20

We describe the discovery and characterization of TOI-7149~b, a 0.705 0.075 , 1.18 0.045 gas giant on a day period orbit transiting an M4V star w…

TOI-1259Ab: A Warm Jupiter Orbiting a K-dwarf White-Dwarf Binary is on a Well-aligned Orbit

Hugo Veldhuis, Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Gudmundur Stefansson +21

The evolution of one member of a stellar binary into a white dwarf has been proposed as a mechanism that triggers the formation of close-in gas giant planets. The star's asymmetric…

Hundreds of TESS exoplanets might be larger than we thought

Te Han, Paul Robertson, Timothy D. Brandt +5

The radius of a planet is a fundamental parameter that probes its composition and habitability. Precise radius measurements are typically derived from the fraction of starlight blo…

Searching for GEMS: Confirmation of TOI-5573b, a Cool, Saturn-like Planet Orbiting An M-dwarf

Rachel B Fernandes, Shubham Kanodia, Megan Delamer +35

We present the confirmation of TOI-5573b, a Saturn-sized exoplanet on an 8.79-day orbit around an early M-dwarf (3790 K, 0.59 R, 0.61 M, 12.30 J mag). TOI-5573b has a…
