Astrometric Evidence for Outer Giant Planets in Known Exoplanet Systems

Clarissa R. Do Ó, William Thompson, Dori Blakely +19

Outer giant planets can influence the formation and dynamical evolution of their planetary systems. However, their long orbital periods make them difficult to detect using transit…

The Companions to B and A Stars Snapshot (C-BASS) Survey: I. Discovery of a Young Brown Dwarf Companion to HIP 17453

Marah Brinjikji, Adam J. Smith, Jennifer Patience +26

We report the detection of a new brown dwarf companion to HIP 17453 A, a chemically peculiar A0V star located at a distance of 81 pc. HIP 17453 A was observed with high-resolution…

Worlds Next Door. IV. Mapping the Late Stages of Giant Planet Evolution with a Precise Dynamical Mass and Luminosity for Ind Ab

Aniket Sanghi, William Thompson, James Mang +21

We present new JWST/NIRCam 4-5 m (F410M, F430M) and JWST/MIRI 18-25 m (F1800W, F2100W, F2550W) imaging detections of the nearby (3.6 pc) cold (275 K) gas giant exoplanet …

Worlds Next Door. III. Indirect Evidence for Enhanced Atmospheric Metallicity and/or the Presence of Water Clouds in the Nearest Jupiter-analog Eri b

Aniket Sanghi, James Mang, Jorge Llop-Sayson +12

We present the most sensitive direct imaging search for the nearest ( pc) Jupiter-analog exoplanet, Eri b, with JWST/NIRCam coronagraphy between 4-5 m (F444W). We a…

Dynamical Mass Constraints on Transition Disk Perturbers with the G23H Catalog

Dori Blakely, William Thompson, Doug Johnstone +14

We present dynamical mass constraints on perturbers in 11 transition disk systems using a novel combination of calibrated Hipparcos and Gaia absolute astrometry data. Out of the sa…

Detecting and Characterizing Companions with a Calibrated Gaia DR2, DR3, and Hipparcos Catalog (G23H)

William Thompson, Dori Blakely, Jerry W. Xuan +16

Gaia DR4 epoch astrometry will enable the detection of thousands of exoplanets through astrometric motion. Here, we present a composite catalog and modeling framework that extracts…

New Orbital Constraints for YSES 1 b and HR 2562 B from High-Precision Astrometry and Planetary Radial Velocities

Jonathan Roberts, William Thompson, Jason J. Wang +20

We present new VLTI/GRAVITY astrometry and updated orbit fits for the directly imaged companions YSES 1 b and HR 2562 B, substellar objects straddling the planet-brown dwarf bounda…

Requirements for Joint Orbital Characterization of Cold Giants and Habitable Worlds with Habitable Worlds Observatory

Sabina Sagynbayeva, Asif Abbas, Stephen R. Kane +10

We determine optimal requirements for the joint detection of habitable-zone planets and cold giant planets with the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). Analysis of 164 nearby stars…

Apache Point Observatory follow-up of ACcelerating Candidate ExopLanet host Stars (APO ACCELS): Ages for 166 Accelerating Stars in the Northern Hemisphere

Anne E. Peck, Eric L. Nielsen, Robert J. De Rosa +14

Directly imaged substellar companions with well-constrained ages and masses serve as vital empirical benchmarks for planet formation and evolution models. Potential benchmark compa…
