Hydrogen airglow from an escaping ultrahot Jupiter atmosphere
Yapeng Zhang, Chenliang Huang, Aaron Householder +17
Intense high-energy irradiation of close-in gaseous exoplanets drives the rapid escape of their atmospheres, fundamentally shaping planetary demographics. While atmospheric loss is…
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 upcoming release of DR4 will yield thousands of giant planet candidates, eventually enabling studies of giant planet eccentricities, masses, and occurrence rates across…
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…
A Test of Substellar Evolutionary Models with High-Precision Ages from Asteroseismology and Gyrochronology for the Benchmark System HR 7672AB
Yaguang Li, Michael C. Liu, Trent J. Dupuy +35
We present high-precision measurements for HR~7672AB, composed of a Sun-like (G0V) star and an L~dwarf companion. Three nights of precise (70 cm/s) radial velocity (RV) asteroseism…
Dynamical Mass Constraints on Transition Disk Perturbers with the G23H Catalog
Dori Blakely, William Thompson, Doug Johnstone +14
We present dynamical mass constraints on perturbers in 11 transition disk systems using a novel combination of calibrated Hipparcos and Gaia absolute astrometry data. Out of the sa…
Detecting and Characterizing Companions with a Calibrated Gaia DR2, DR3, and Hipparcos Catalog (G23H)
William Thompson, Dori Blakely, Jerry W. Xuan +16
Gaia DR4 epoch astrometry will enable the detection of thousands of exoplanets through astrometric motion. Here, we present a composite catalog and modeling framework that extracts…
