Predicting Macroturbulence in F/G/K Dwarfs to 100 m/s Precision
Jack Lubin, Erik Petigura, Kento Masuda +6
We leverage the high resolution and spectral stability of the Keck Planet Finder (KPF) spectrograph to investigate macroturbulence broadening via the stellar cross-correlation func…
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…
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…
TOI-4495: A Pair of Aligned, Near-Resonant Sub-Neptunes that Likely Experienced Overstable Migration
Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +24
We report the discovery of a sub-Neptune and a Neptune-like planet (, ) orbiting the F-type star TOI-449…
Exposure-averaged Gaussian Processes for Combining Overlapping Datasets
Jacob K. Luhn, Ryan A. Rubenzahl, Samuel Halverson +1
Physically motivated Gaussian process (GP) kernels for stellar variability, like the commonly used damped, driven simple harmonic oscillators that model stellar granulation and p-m…
