An Eccentric Sub-Neptune Moving Into the Evaporation Desert
Sydney Jenkins, Andrew Vanderburg, Ritika Sethi +31
Though missions such as Kepler, K2, and TESS have discovered 2,000 sub-Neptune and Neptunian planets, there is a dearth of such planets at close-in (P3 days) orbits. T…
Three-Dimensional Orbital Architectures and Detectability of Adjacent Companions to Hot Jupiters
Thomas MacLean, Juliette Becker
The orbital properties of the (as-yet) small population of hot Jupiters with nearby planetary companions provide valuable constraints on the past migration processes of these syste…
Thermal Evolution and Mass Loss on Short-Period, Low-Mass Planets During FU Orionis Outbursts
Juliette Becker, Konstantin Batygin
Ultra-short-period (USP) planets represent a unique class of exoplanets characterized by their tight orbits and relatively low masses, with some also exhibiting unusually high iron…
The Ambiguous Age and Tidal History for the Ultra-Hot Jupiter TOI-1937Ab
Alyssa R. Jankowski, Juliette Becker, Melinda Soares-Furtado +2
Ultra-short-period (USP) planets are a rare but dynamically significant subset of the exoplanet sample, and understanding their dynamical histories and migration processes is neces…
Long-lived Habitable Zones around White Dwarfs undergoing Neon-22 Distillation
Andrew Vanderburg, Antoine Bédard, Juliette C. Becker +1
White dwarf stars have attracted considerable attention in the past 15 years as hosts for potentially habitable planets, but their low luminosity and continuous cooling are major c…
History and Habitability of the LP 890-9 Planetary System
Rory Barnes, Laura N. R. do Amaral, Jessica Birky +42
We present numerous aspects of the evolution of the LP 890-9 (SPECULOOS-2/TOI-4306) planetary system, focusing on the likelihood that planet c can support life. We find that the ho…
