POSEIDON III: The Aligned Orbit of the Hot Neptune Around the Hot Star WASP-195
Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Joshua N. Winn, Rafael Brahm +33
Stellar obliquities provide important clues as to the formation and migration histories of planetary systems, but measurements remain scarce for Neptune-mass planets, especially th…
The Cephei System: Updated Orbits, Dynamical Architecture, and Limits on Additional Companions
Judah Van Zandt, Brendan P. Bowler, Michael Endl +18
The Cephei system hosts one of the first exoplanets discovered and is orbited by one of the closest known stellar companions to a planet-hosting star. Here, we derive updated o…
Spin-Orbit Alignment of Two Neptune-size Planets Younger than 500 Myr: TOI-560 b and TOI-5082 b
Elina Y. Zhang, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +25
Stellar obliquity measurements provide a direct probe of planetary system dynamics, but remain sparse for Neptune-size planets, particularly at young ages. We present Rossiter-McLa…
An Outer Giant Planet or Brown Dwarf in the 51 Pegasi System?
Marvin Morgan, Brendan P. Bowler, Kyle Franson +15
51 Pegasi harbors the first confirmed extrasolar planet orbiting a Sun-like star. Decades of continued radial velocity (RV) observations have since uncovered signatures of an addit…
Gaia Exoplanet Orbits, Demographics, and Evolution Survey (GEODES): Characteristics of Three Long-Period Companions Accelerating their Host Stars
Judah Van Zandt, Brendan Bowler, Erik Petigura +12

The KPF-SLOPE Survey - Small, Compact Multi-Planet Systems Appear Spin-Orbit Aligned
Luke B. Handley, Andrew W. Howard, Fei Dai +16
The angle between stellar spin axes and planetary orbits -- stellar obliquity -- probes the dynamics of planetary migration and evolution. The obliquities of giant planets have bee…
Evidence for a Peak at 0.3 in the Eccentricity Distribution of Typical Super-Jovian Exoplanets
Sarah Blunt, Jason Wang, Ruth Murray-Clay +3
In this study, we compute completeness-corrected occurrence rates of giant exoplanets as a function of mass, semimajor axis, and eccentricity, using the approximately uniform Calif…
TOI-4495: A Pair of Aligned, Near-Resonant Sub-Neptunes that Likely Experienced Overstable Migration
Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +24
We report the discovery of a sub-Neptune and a Neptune-like planet (, ) orbiting the F-type star TOI-449…
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…
No Giant Planets in the Eta Cassiopeiae System: Dynamical Implications of a Wide Binary Companion
Stephen R. Kane, Zhexing Li, Michelle L. Hill +3
Given the vast number of stars that exist within binary systems, it remains important to explore the effect of binary star environments on the formation and evolution of exoplaneta…
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…
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-…
Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOT 'EM) Survey. VI: Confirmation of a Long-Period Giant Planet Discovered with a Single TESS Transit
Zahra Essack, Diana Dragomir, Paul A. Dalba +81
We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a , giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at 122 pc. The planet was…
