The MegaWave Radio Surveyor
T. Joseph W. Lazio, Evgenya Shkolnik, James Aguirre +40
Several Decadal-level questions in astrophysics, exoplanets, astrobiology, and cosmology can be addressed only at low radio frequencies inaccessible from Earth. The MegaWave Radio…
Revisiting the Exo-Mercury Candidate GJ 367 b with ESPRESSO and a Self-Consistent Tidal Distortion Model
Rena A. Lee, Fei Dai, Ellen M. Price +18
We report revised mass and radius measurements for GJ 367 b, an ultra-short-period (7.7 hr) sub-Earth in a multi-planet system orbiting a nearby (~9 pc) M dwarf host. Previous mass…
TOI-6324b: An Earth-Mass Ultra-Short-Period Planet Transiting a Nearby M Dwarf
Rena A. Lee, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +71
We report the confirmation of TOI-6324 b, an Earth-sized (1.059 0.041 R) ultra-short-period (USP) planet orbiting a nearby (20 pc) M dwarf. Using the newly com…
Planet Masses, Radii, and Orbits from NASA's K2 Mission
Andrew W. Howard, Evan Sinukoff, Sarah Blunt +50
We report the masses, sizes, and orbital properties of 86 planets orbiting 55 stars observed by NASA's K2 Mission with follow-up Doppler measurements by the HIRES spectrometer at t…
TOI-421 b: A Hot Sub-Neptune with a Haze-Free, Low Mean Molecular Weight Atmosphere
Brian Davenport, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Matthew C. Nixon +8
Common features of sub-Neptunes atmospheres observed to date include signatures of aerosols at moderate equilibrium temperatures (~500-800 K), and a prevalence of high mean molecul…
A long spin period for a sub-Neptune-mass exoplanet
Ellen M. Price, Juliette Becker, Zoë L. de Beurs +2
HIP 41378 f is a sub-Neptune exoplanet with an anomalously low density. Its long orbital period and deep transit make it an ideal candidate for detecting oblateness photometrically…
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…
New insights into the internal structure of GJ 1214 b informed by JWST
Matthew C. Nixon, Anjali A. A. Piette, Eliza M. -R. Kempton +7
Recent JWST observations of the sub-Neptune GJ 1214 b suggest that it hosts a high-metallicity (>100x solar), hazy atmosphere. Emission spectra of the planet show molecular absorpt…
Investigating the Atmospheric Mass Loss of the Kepler-105 Planets Straddling the Radius Gap
Aaron Householder, Lauren M. Weiss, James E. Owen +21
An intriguing pattern among exoplanets is the lack of detected planets between approximately R and R. One proposed explanation for this "radius gap" i…
Revisiting the microlensing event OGLE 2012-BLG-0026: A solar mass star with two cold giant planets
J. P. Beaulieu, D. P. Bennett, V. Batista +15
Two cold, gas giant planets orbiting a G-type main sequence star in the galactic disk have previously been discovered in the high magnification microlensing event OGLE-2012-BLG-002…
Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition from Gaseous to Rocky Planets
Geoffrey W. Marcy, Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard +100
We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7…
M dwarf stars in the light of (future) exoplanet searches
B. Rojas-Ayala, E. J. Hilton, A. W. Mann +8
We present a brief overview of a splinter session on M dwarf stars as planet hosts that was organized as part of the Cool Stars 17 conference. The session was devoted to reviewing…
Three Possible Origins for the Gas Layer on GJ 1214b
L. A. Rogers, S. Seager
We present an analysis of the bulk composition of the MEarth transiting super Earth exoplanet GJ 1214b using planet interior structure models. We consider three possible origins fo…
