The KPF SURFS-UP Survey I: Transmission Spectroscopy of WASP-76 b

Aaron Householder, Fei Dai, Aurora Kesseli +25

We introduce the KPF SURFS-UP (Spectroscopy of the Upper-atmospheres and ReFractory Species in Ultra-hot Planets) Survey, a high-resolution survey to investigate the atmospheric co…

The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge

Samuel W. Yee, Patrick Tamburo, Gudmundur Stefánsson +11

The ``Neptunian ridge'' is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and…

TOI-880 is an Aligned, Coplanar, Multi-planet System

Elina Y. Zhang, Huan-Yu Teng, Fei Dai +22

Although many cases of stellar spin-orbit misalignment are known, it is usually unclear whether a single planet's orbit was tilted or if the entire protoplanetary disk was misalign…

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…

A Hot Jupiter with a Retrograde Orbit around a Sun-like Star and a Toy Model of Hot Jupiters in Wide Binary Star Systems

Steven Giacalone, Andrew W. Howard, Ryan A. Rubenzahl +21

We report an observation of a transit of the hot Jupiter (HJ) KELT-23A b with the Keck Planet Finder spectrograph and a measurement of the sky-projected obliquity () of its Sun-…

Stellar Obliquity of the Ultra-Short-Period Planet System HD 93963

Huan-Yu Teng, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +24

We report an observation of the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect of the transiting planet HD 93963 Ac, a mini-Neptune planet orbiting a G0-type star with an orbital period of $P_{\r…

K-dwarf Radius Inflation and a 10-Gyr Spin-down Clock Unveiled through Asteroseismology of HD 219134 from the Keck Planet Finder

Yaguang Li, Daniel Huber, J. M. Joel Ong +26

We present the first asteroseismic analysis of the K3\,V planet host HD~219134, based on four consecutive nights of radial velocities collected with the Keck Planet Finder. We appl…

TOI-6324b: An Earth-Mass Ultra-Short-Period Planet Transiting a Nearby M Dwarf

Rena A. Lee, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +71

We report the confirmation of TOI-6324 b, an Earth-sized (1.059 0.041 R) ultra-short-period (USP) planet orbiting a nearby (20 pc) M dwarf. Using the newly com…

Short-Period Small Planets with High Mutual Inclinations are more Common around Metal-Rich Stars

Xinyan Hua, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Dongsheng An +7

We present a correlation between the stellar metallicities and the mutual inclinations of multi-planet systems hosting short-period small planets (a/Rs<12, Rp<4Re). We analyzed 89…
