HD 715 b, a Warm Jupiter Orbiting a Massive Subgiant Discovered from a Single TESS Transit

Alexander Venner, Robert A. Wittenmyer, Andrew Vanderburg +23

Transiting Warm Jupiters orbiting bright stars are scarcely known, but a substantial number of these planets have been uncovered by the TESS mission. In this work we report the dis…

Discovery and Characterization of the TOI-4468 Planetary System: A Transiting Hot Jupiter With a Lone Nearby Outer Companion

Joseph R. Livesey, Benjamin J. Hord, Juliette Becker +28

We report the discovery of two planets, a hot Jupiter and a nearby outer sub-Neptune, orbiting the star TOI-4468. This system is unique among the current exoplanet census in that i…

JWST unveils a high mean molecular weight atmosphere for mini-Neptune TOI-1130b: Evidence for formation beyond the water ice line

Saugata Barat, Tyler Fairnington, Shelby Courreges +21

We present the combined JWST/NIRSpec G395H and NIRISS SOSS transmission spectrum of a warm mini-Neptune, TOI-1130b (3.66 R, 19.8 M, K). It is…

Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903

Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173

Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…

A Cool Earth-sized Planet Candidate Transiting a Tenth Magnitude K-dwarf From K2

Alexander Venner, Andrew Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +7

The transit method is currently one of our best means for the detection of potentially habitable "Earth-like" exoplanets. In principle, given sufficiently high photometric precisio…

The Occurrence Rate of Nearby Planetary Companions to Hot Jupiters

Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +33

Of the > 500 confirmed transiting hot jupiters and approximately 2000 additional candidates today, only ten are known to have nearby companion planets. The survival of nearby compa…

The Eccentricity Distribution of Warm Sub-Saturns in TESS

Tyler R. Fairnington, Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang +45

We present the eccentricity distribution of warm sub-Saturns (4-8 Re, 8-200 day periods) as derived from an analysis of transit light curves from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey…

TOI-2005b: An Eccentric Warm Jupiter in Spin-Orbit Alignment

Allyson Bieryla, Jiayin Dong, George Zhou +36

We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-2005b, a warm Jupiter on an eccentric (e~0.59), 17.3-day orbit around a V_mag = 9.867 rapidly rotating F-star. The object was de…

Evidence for Primordial Alignment II: Insights from Stellar Obliquity Measurements for Hot Jupiters in Compact Multiplanet Systems

Brandon Thomas Radzom, Jiayin Dong, Malena Rice +5

A significant fraction of hot Jupiters have orbital axes misaligned with their host stars' spin axes. The large stellar obliquities of these giants have long been considered potent…

Origins of Super Jupiters: TOI-2145b Has a Moderately Eccentric and Nearly Aligned Orbit

Jiayin Dong, Ashley Chontos, George Zhou +15

Super Jupiters are giant planets with several Jupiter masses. It remains an open question whether these planets originate with such high masses or grow through collisions. Previous…

HD 28185 Revisited: An Outer Planet, Instead of a Brown Dwarf, On a Saturn-like Orbit

Alexander Venner, Qier An, Chelsea X. Huang +3

As exoplanet surveys reach ever-higher sensitivities and durations, planets analogous to the solar system giant planets are increasingly within reach. HD 28185 is a Sun-like star k…

Surviving in the Hot Neptune Desert: The Discovery of the Ultra-Hot Neptune TOI-3261b

Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer A. Burt +45

The recent discoveries of Neptune-sized ultra-short period planets (USPs) challenge existing planet formation theories. It is unclear whether these residents of the Hot Neptune Des…

TOI-1685 b is a Hot Rocky Super-Earth: Updates to the Stellar and Planet Parameters of a Popular JWST Cycle 2 Target

Jennifer A. Burt, Matthew J. Hooton, Eric E. Mamajek +12

We present an updated characterization of the TOI-1685 planetary system, which consists of a P = 0.69\,day USP super-Earth planet orbiting a nearby ( = 37.6\,pc) M2.5…
