Does HD 3167 Have Planets with Perpendicular Orbits?
Joshua N. Winn, Jack Lubin, Guðmundur Stefánsson +5
The two transiting planets of HD 3167 were reported to follow nearly perpendicular paths, with the inner orbit aligned with the stellar equator and the outer orbit nearly polar. Th…
Precise and Accurate Mass and Radius Measurements of Thirty Galactic Metal-Poor Stars in Detached Eclipsing Binaries
D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek, C. S. Kochanek +4
Detached eclipsing binaries have long served as fundamental benchmarks for making direct comparisons with stellar models. By combining the light curve and radial velocity orbit of…
Evidence for an Extended Hydrogen Outflow on WASP-12 b
Morgan Saidel, Shreyas Vissapragada, Heather A. Knutson +6
Recent observations of atmospheric escape from planets orbiting early-type stars indicate that planets with higher Roche filling factors have significantly higher mass loss rates.…
POSEIDON III: The Aligned Orbit of the Hot Neptune Around the Hot Star WASP-195
Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Joshua N. Winn, Rafael Brahm +33
Stellar obliquities provide important clues as to the formation and migration histories of planetary systems, but measurements remain scarce for Neptune-mass planets, especially th…
The Cephei System: Updated Orbits, Dynamical Architecture, and Limits on Additional Companions
Judah Van Zandt, Brendan P. Bowler, Michael Endl +18
The Cephei system hosts one of the first exoplanets discovered and is orbited by one of the closest known stellar companions to a planet-hosting star. Here, we derive updated o…
Conspicuous Gas, Cryptic Dust: Spectroscopy and Chromaticity of Complex Periodic Variables
Luke G. Bouma, Facundo Perez Paolino, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +17
Complex periodic variables (CPVs) are young low-mass stars whose light curves show periodic dips indicative of transiting corotating material. The origin and composition of this ma…
Spin-Orbit Alignment of Two Neptune-size Planets Younger than 500 Myr: TOI-560 b and TOI-5082 b
Elina Y. Zhang, Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard +25
Stellar obliquity measurements provide a direct probe of planetary system dynamics, but remain sparse for Neptune-size planets, particularly at young ages. We present Rossiter-McLa…
Spectroscopic follow-up of compact object binary candidates from Gaia DR3: White dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and the parallax zeropoint
Kareem El-Badry, David W. Latham, Hans-Walter Rix +12
Astrometry and radial velocities (RVs) from Gaia DR3 yielded orbits for hundreds of thousands of binary systems, including several samples proposed to contain black holes (BHs), ne…
PANTERA. I. Hunting for the Most Metal-Rich Stars in the Solar Neighborhood with High-Resolution Spectroscopy
Serat M. Saad, D. M. Rowan, K. Z. Stanek +4
We present PANTERA (Project for Astrophysical Nucleosynthesis and Targeted Exploration of metal-Rich Abundances), a high-resolution spectroscopic survey of the most metal-rich star…
An Outer Giant Planet or Brown Dwarf in the 51 Pegasi System?
Marvin Morgan, Brendan P. Bowler, Kyle Franson +15
51 Pegasi harbors the first confirmed extrasolar planet orbiting a Sun-like star. Decades of continued radial velocity (RV) observations have since uncovered signatures of an addit…
Gaia Exoplanet Orbits, Demographics, and Evolution Survey (GEODES): Characteristics of Three Long-Period Companions Accelerating their Host Stars
Judah Van Zandt, Brendan Bowler, Erik Petigura +12
The upcoming release of DR4 will yield thousands of giant planet candidates, eventually enabling studies of giant planet eccentricities, masses, and occurrence rates across…
The KPF-SLOPE Survey - Small, Compact Multi-Planet Systems Appear Spin-Orbit Aligned
Luke B. Handley, Andrew W. Howard, Fei Dai +16
The angle between stellar spin axes and planetary orbits -- stellar obliquity -- probes the dynamics of planetary migration and evolution. The obliquities of giant planets have bee…
A Century of Radial Velocity and Astrometric Monitoring of 70 Oph AB: New PFS Data and Constraints on Planetary Companions
Yiting Li, Michael R. Meyer, Skylar D'Angiolillo +29
At a distance of 5.1 pc, the 70 Oph AB binary star system is one of the most favorable targets for future direct imaging and astrometry missions surveying mature, terrestrial plane…
A search for black holes with metal-poor stellar companions: I. Survey sample selection and single epoch radial velocity follow-up
Casey Y. Lam, Joshua D. Simon, Kareem El-Badry +3
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) above are predicted to form from low-metallicity progenitors, but direct detections of such systems in the Milky Way remain scarce. Moti…
A Spectroscopic Search for Dormant Black Holes in Low-Metallicity Binaries
Pranav Nagarajan, Kareem El-Badry, Henrique Reggiani +9
The discovery of the massive black hole (BH) system Gaia BH3 in pre-release Gaia DR4 data suggests that wide BH binaries with luminous companions may be significantly overrepresent…
