The Discovery of K2-232c: Divergent Formation Histories for Hot and Warm Jupiters Based on Outer Companion Eccentricity

Jessica A. Ranshaw, Xian-Yu Wang, Jennifer A. Burt +6

Ever since their discovery, hot Jupiters have been one of the most studied types of exoplanets to exist thanks to their significant size, their proximity to their host star, and th…

A Century of Radial Velocity and Astrometric Monitoring of 70 Oph AB: New PFS Data and Constraints on Planetary Companions

Yiting Li, Michael R. Meyer, Skylar D'Angiolillo +29

At a distance of 5.1 pc, the 70 Oph AB binary star system is one of the most favorable targets for future direct imaging and astrometry missions surveying mature, terrestrial plane…

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-…

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…

Jitter Across 15 Years: Leveraging Precise Photometry from Kepler and TESS to Extract Exoplanets from Radial Velocity Time Series

Corey Beard, Paul Robertson, Jack Lubin +24

Stellar activity contamination of radial velocity (RV) data is one of the top challenges plaguing the field of extreme precision RV (EPRV) science. Previous work has shown that pho…

The Compositions of Rocky Planets in Close-in Orbits Tend to be Earth-Like

Casey L. Brinkman, Lauren M. Weiss, Daniel Huber +54

Hundreds of exoplanets between 1-1.8 times the size of the Earth have been discovered on close in orbits. However, these planets show such a diversity in densities that some appear…

The HD 191939 Exoplanet System is Well-Aligned and Flat

Jack Lubin, Erik A. Petigura, Judah Van Zandt +25

We report the sky-projected spin-orbit angle for HD 191939 b, the innermost planet in a 6 planet system, using Keck/KPF to detect the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect. Planet b…

Asteroseismology of the Nearby K-Dwarf Draconis using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS

Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Yaguang Li +76

Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging due to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here, we present the asteroseismic detection…

KPF Confirms a Polar Orbit for KELT-18 b

Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Fei Dai, Samuel Halverson +24

We present the first spectroscopic transit results from the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder on the Keck-I telescope at W. M. Keck Observatory. We observed a transit of KELT-1…

Obliquity Constraints for the Extremely Eccentric Sub-Saturn Kepler-1656 b

Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Andrew W. Howard, Samuel Halverson +25

The orbits of close-in exoplanets provide clues to their formation and evolutionary history. Many close-in exoplanets likely formed far out in their protoplanetary disks and migrat…

An Earth-sized Planet on the Verge of Tidal Disruption

Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard, Samuel Halverson +95

TOI-6255~b (GJ 4256) is an Earth-sized planet (1.079 ) with an orbital period of only 5.7 hours. With the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder (KPF) and CARMEN…

A Testbed for Tidal Migration: the 3D Architecture of an Eccentric Hot Jupiter HD 118203 b Accompanied by a Possibly Aligned Outer Giant Planet

Jingwen Zhang, Daniel Huber, Lauren M. Weiss +31

Characterizing outer companions to hot Jupiters plays a crucial role in deciphering their origins. We present the discovery of a long-period giant planet, HD 118203 c ($m_{c}=11.79…

The OATMEAL Survey. I. Low Stellar Obliquity in the Transiting Brown Dwarf System GPX-1

Steven Giacalone, Fei Dai, J. J. Zanazzi +31

We introduce the OATMEAL survey, an effort to measure the obliquities of stars with transiting brown dwarf companions. We observed a transit of the close-in ($P_{\rm orb} = 1.74 \,…

New Constraints on Gliese 876 -- Exemplar of Mean-Motion Resonance

Sarah Millholland, Gregory Laughlin, Johanna Teske +7

Gliese 876 harbors one of the most dynamically rich and well-studied exoplanetary systems. The nearby M4V dwarf hosts four known planets, the outer three of which are trapped in a…
