Magnetic field strengths of hot giant exoplanets consistent with Solar System values
Julia V. Seidel, Vivien Parmentier, Bibiana Prinoth +29
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe. They play a key role in shaping the activity of stars, the habitability of rocky planets, and the long-term retention of planetary a…
The Neptunian ridge planet WASP-156 b does not have a polar orbit
M. Lafarga, J. I. Espinoza-Retamal, H. M. Cegla +25
The population of short-period exo-Neptunes is thought to be shaped by an interplay between different dynamical mechanisms, such as orbital migration and tidal effects, and photoev…
The JWST Rocky Worlds DDT Program reveals GJ 3929b to likely be a bare rock
Qiao Xue, Michael Zhang, Brandon P. Coy +14
We report first results from the JWST Rocky Worlds Director's Discretionary Time program. Two secondary eclipses of the terrestrial exoplanet GJ 3929b were recently observed using…
An Aligned Sub-Neptune Revealed with MAROON-X and a Tendency Towards Alignment for Small Planets
Alex S. Polanski, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Andreas Seifahrt +9
We present the Rossiter-McLaughlin measurement of the sub-Neptune TOI-1759A b with MAROON-X. A joint analysis with MuSCAT3 photometry and nine additional TESS transits produces a s…
Four sub-Earth planets orbiting Barnard's Star from MAROON-X and ESPRESSO
Ritvik Basant, Rafael Luque, Jacob L. Bean +9
Barnard's Star is an old, single M dwarf star that comprises the second-closest extrasolar system. It has a long history of claimed planet detections from both radial velocities an…
Calibrating the Instrumental Drift in MAROON-X using an Ensemble Analysis
Ritvik Basant, Tanya Das, Jacob L. Bean +7
MAROON-X is a state-of-the-art extreme precision radial velocity spectrograph deployed on the 8.1-meter Gemini-N telescope on Maunakea, Hawai'i. Using a stabilized Fabry-Pérot eta…
