A young progenitor for the most common planetary systems in the Galaxy

John H. Livingston, Erik A. Petigura, Trevor J. David +39

The Galaxy's most common known planetary systems have several Earth-to-Neptune-size planets in compact orbits. At small orbital separations, larger planets are less common than the…

Secular Excitation of Polar Neptune Orbits in Pure Disk-Planet Systems

Luke B. Handley, Konstantin Batygin

The stellar spin-orbit angles of Neptune-sized planets present a primordial yet puzzling view of the planetary formation epoch. The striking dichotomy of aligned and perpendicular…

A constraint on the density of Jupiter's moon Thebe from primordial dynamics

Ian R. Brunton, Konstantin Batygin

Of the 97 known satellites in the Jovian system, the individual masses and densities of each moon have only been determined for six of them: the four Galileans, Amalthea, and Himal…

On the origin and dynamical evolution of Jupiter's moon Amalthea

Ian R. Brunton, Konstantin Batygin

Interior to the orbits of Jupiter's iconic Galilean moons are four small satellites with individual mean radii, km. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that these bod…

Tidally Heated Sub-Neptunes, Refined Planetary Compositions, and Confirmation of a Third Planet in the TOI-1266 System

Michael Greklek-McKeon, Shreyas Vissapragada, Heather A. Knutson +38

TOI-1266 is a benchmark system of two temperate ( 450 K) sub-Neptune-sized planets orbiting a nearby M dwarf exhibiting a rare inverted architecture with a larger interior plane…
