Singles in Disguise: Kepler's Low-SNR Single-Transiting Systems as Incompletely Detected Multis
Daniel A. Yahalomi, David Nesvorny, David Kipping +2
NASA's Kepler mission found more systems with one transiting planet (``singles'') than expected from those with several (``multis''). This excess was first taken as evidence for a…
Quantifying the Contamination of TESS Ecliptic-Plane Light Curves by Minor Planets
Ben Cassese, Justin Vega, Daniel A. Yahalomi +6
Though missions devoted to time series photometry focus primarily on targets far beyond the solar system, their observations can be contaminated by foreground minor planets, especi…
A JWST Transit of a Jupiter Analog: II. A Search for Exomoons
David Kipping, Ben Cassese, Quentin Changeat +3
We present a search for exomoons around the Jupiter-like exoplanet Kepler-167e using a NIRSpec JWST transit. Our 60 hour time series clearly reveals the enormous impact of long-ter…
A JWST Transit of a Jupiter Analog I: Constraints on the Oblateness of Kepler-167e
Ben Cassese, David Kipping, Quentin Changeat +5
In October 2024 JWST observed a transit of Kepler-167e, a Jupiter-analog planet on a 1000+ day orbit. These observations, recorded over a long baseline of nearly 60 hours, were des…
The democratic detrender: Ensemble-Based Removal of the Nuisance Signal in Stellar Time-Series Photometry
Daniel A. Yahalomi, David Kipping, Diana Solano-Oropeza +10
Accurate, precise, and computationally efficient removal of unwanted activity that exists as a combination of periodic, quasi-periodic, and non-periodic systematic trends in time-s…
squishyplanet: Modeling Transits of Non-spherical Exoplanets in JAX
Ben Cassese, Justin Vega, Tiger Lu +3
While astronomers often assume that exoplanets are perfect spheres when analyzing observations, the subset of these distant worlds that are subject to strong tidal forces and/or ra…
A Reply to: Large Exomoons unlikely around Kepler-1625 b and Kepler-1708 b
David Kipping, Alex Teachey, Daniel A. Yahalomi +7
Recently, Heller & Hippke argued that the exomoon candidates Kepler-1625 b-i and Kepler-1708 b-i were allegedly 'refuted'. In this Matters Arising, we address these claims. For Kep…
Radial phase spirals in the Solar neighbourhood
Jason A. S. Hunt, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Kathryn V. Johnston +4
The second data release of ESA's mission revealed numerous signatures of disequilibrium in the Milky Way's disc. These signatures are seen in the planar kinematics of stars,…
Spectroscopic mapping of Io's surface with HST/STIS: SO frost, sulfur allotropes, and large-scale compositional patterns
Samantha K. Trumbo, M. Ryleigh Davis, Benjamin Cassese +1
Io's intense volcanic activity results in one of the most colorful surfaces in the solar system. Ultraviolet and visible-wavelength observations of Io are critical to uncovering th…
Kepler-1708 b-i is likely undetectable with HST
Ben Cassese, David Kipping
The exomoon candidate Kepler-1708 b-i was recently reported using two transits of Kepler data. Supported by a 1% false-positive probability, the candidate is promising but requires…
