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…

Hot Jupiters' Isolation Is Not Unique to High-Eccentricity Tidal Migration

Brandon Radzom, Songhu Wang, Bonan Pu +2

Conventionally, the observed isolation of hot Jupiters, marked by a paucity of nearby low-mass planetary companions, has been interpreted as evidence of high-eccentricity tidal mig…

Nature of HD 251108: an RS CVn binary with a long-term evolving spot

Xinlin Zhao, Song Wang, B. Fuhrmeister +5

Recently, the Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA) detected the longest-lasting and most energetic stellar X-ray flare event from HD 251108. In this work, we re-determined the a…

A Homogeneous Catalog of Rossiter-McLaughlin Systems: Distinct - Trends in Three Gas-Giant Mass Regimes

Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang, Konstantin Batygin

Stellar obliquity () and orbital eccentricity () trace the dynamical histories of close-in giant planets, but the current observational picture is assembled from heterogeneou…

Unified Formation Channel of Hot and Warm Jupiters via Planet-Planet Scattering

Julia Esposito, Gongjie Li, Songhu Wang

Recent observations show distinct orbital architectures for hot and warm Jupiters: hot Jupiters span a wide range of stellar obliquities and tend to host distant companions without…

Evidence for Primordial Alignment II: Insights from Stellar Obliquity Measurements for Hot Jupiters in Compact Multiplanet Systems

Brandon Thomas Radzom, Jiayin Dong, Malena Rice +5

A significant fraction of hot Jupiters have orbital axes misaligned with their host stars' spin axes. The large stellar obliquities of these giants have long been considered potent…

Statistical Reevaluation of the USP Classification Boundary: Smaller Planets Within 1 Day, Larger Period Ratios Below 2 Days

Armaan V. Goyal, Songhu Wang

Terrestrial worlds with day, known as ultra-short period planets (USPs), comprise a physically distinct population whose origins may be attributed to various possible forma…

Peas-in-a-Pod Across the Radius Valley: Rocky Systems are Less Uniform in Mass but More Uniform in Size and Spacing

Armaan V. Goyal, Songhu Wang

The ubiquity of "peas-in-a-pod" architectural patterns and the existence of the radius valley each present a striking population-level trend for planets with $R_{p} \leq 4 R_{\oplu…

Earths are not Super-Earths, Saturns are not Jupiters: Imprints of pressure-bump planet formation on planetary architectures

Wenrui Xu, Songhu Wang

In protoplanetary disks, sufficiently massive planets excite pressure bumps, which can then be preferred locations for forming new planet cores. We discuss how this loop may affect…

High-resolution transmission spectroscopy of ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-33b with NEID

Yuanheng Yang, Guo Chen, Songhu Wang +1

We report an attempt to detect molecular and atomic species in the atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-33b using the high-resolution echelle spectrograph NEID with a wavelengt…
