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…
A Link Between Rocky Planet Density and Host Star Chemistry
Aida Behmard, Casey L. Brinkman, Soichiro Hattori +2
Planets and their host stars form from the same cloud of gas and dust, so we assume that their chemical compositions are linked. However, a clear correlation between rocky planet i…
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…
