TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VII. A Hot Saturn Orbiting an Oscillating Red Giant Star

Nicholas Saunders, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Daniel Huber +26

We present the discovery of TOI-7041 b (TIC 201175570 b), a hot Saturn transiting a red giant star with measurable stellar oscillations. We observe solar-like oscillations in TOI-7…

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…

TESS asteroseismology of Hydri: a subgiant with a born-again dynamo

Travis S. Metcalfe, Jennifer L. van Saders, Daniel Huber +12

The solar-type subgiant Hyi has long been studied as an old analog of the Sun. Although the rotation period has never been measured directly, it was estimated to be near 27 day…

Discovery of a Jupiter Analog Misaligned to the Inner Planetary System in HD 73344

Jingwen Zhang, Lauren M. Weiss, Daniel Huber +6

We present the discovery of a Jupiter-like planet, HD 73344 d (, AU, ) based on…

TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VI. Newly Discovered Hot Jupiters Provide Evidence for Efficient Obliquity Damping after the Main Sequence

Nicholas Saunders, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Ashley Chontos +53

The degree of alignment between a star's spin axis and the orbital plane of its planets (the stellar obliquity) is related to interesting and poorly understood processes that occur…

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…

Additional Doppler Monitoring Corroborates HAT-P-11 c as a Planet

Samuel W. Yee, Erik A. Petigura, Howard Isaacson +15

In 2010, Bakos and collaborators discovered a Neptune-sized planet transiting the K-dwarf HAT-P-11 every five days. Later in 2018, Yee and collaborators reported an additional Jovi…

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…

Planet Hunters TESS V: a planetary system around a binary star, including a mini-Neptune in the habitable zone

Nora L. Eisner, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Oscar Barragán +61

We report on the discovery and validation of a transiting long-period mini-Neptune orbiting a bright (V = 9.0 mag) G dwarf (TOI 4633; R = 1.05 RSun, M = 1.10 MSun). The planet was…

The TESS-Keck Survey XXI: 13 New Planets and Homogeneous Properties for 21 Subgiant Systems

Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Samuel K. Grunblatt +67

We present a dedicated transit and radial velocity survey of planets orbiting subgiant stars observed by the TESS Mission. Using nights on Keck/HIRES, we confirm and cha…
