Transformational astrophysics and exoplanet science with Habitable Worlds Observatory's High Resolution Imager
Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…
TOI-1743 b, TOI-5799 b, TOI-5799 c and TOI-6223 b: TESS discovery and validation of four super-Earth to Neptune-sized planets around M dwarfs
S. Yalçınkaya, K. Barkaoui, Ö. Baştürk +62
We present the discovery by the TESS mission of one transiting Neptune-sized planet, TOI-6223 b and two transiting super-Earths, TOI-1743 b and TOI-5799 b. We validate these planet…
Scaling K2 VIII: Short-Period Sub-Neptune Occurrence Rates Peak Around Early-Type M Dwarfs
Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman, Galen J. Bergsten, Jessie L. Christiansen +6
We uniformly combined data from the NASA Kepler and K2 missions to compute planet occurrence rates across the entire FGK and M dwarf stellar range. The K2 mission, driven by target…
Spectropolarimetric Evolution of SN 2023ixf: an Asymmetric Explosion in a Confined Aspherical Circumstellar Medium
Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Luc Dessart, Yi Yang +15
We present complete spectropolarimetric coverage of the Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf ranging from 1 to 120 days after explosion. Polarimetry was obtained with the Kast double spe…
SN 2023ixf in the Pinwheel Galaxy M101: From Shock Breakout to the Nebular Phase
Weikang Zheng, Luc Dessart, Alexei V. Filippenko +39
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023ixf covering from day one to 442 days after explosion. SN 2023ixf reached a peak -band absolute magnitude of $-18…
Signatures of Atmospheric Mass Loss and Planet Migration in the Time Evolution of Short-Period Transiting Exoplanets
Rachel B. Fernandes, Galen J. Bergsten, Gijs D. Mulders +19
Comparative studies of young and old exoplanet populations offer a glimpse into how planets may form and evolve with time. We present an occurrence rate study of short-period (1…
New Cold Subdwarf Discoveries from Backyard Worlds and a Metallicity Classification System for T Subdwarfs
Adam J. Burgasser, Adam C. Schneider, Aaron M. Meisner +36
We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of candidate T subdwarfs identified by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 program. Near-infrared spectra of 31 sources with red co…
TESS discovery of two super-Earths orbiting the M-dwarf stars TOI-6002 and TOI-5713 near the radius valley
M. Ghachoui, B. V. Rackham, M. Dévora-Pajares +45
We present the validation of two TESS super-Earth candidates transiting the mid-M dwarfs TOI-6002 and TOI-5713 every 10.90 and 10.44 days, respectively. The first star (TOI-6002) i…
Discovery of a Hypervelocity L Subdwarf at the Star/Brown Dwarf Mass Limit
Adam J. Burgasser, Roman Gerasimov, Kyle Kremer +18
We report the discovery of a high velocity, very low-mass star or brown dwarf whose kinematics suggest it is unbound to the Milky Way. CWISE J124909.08+362116.0 was identified by c…
Three short-period Earth-sized planets around M dwarfs discovered by TESS: TOI-5720b, TOI-6008b and TOI-6086b
K. Barkaoui, R. P. Schwarz, N. Narita +53
One of the main goals of the NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission is the discovery of Earth-like planets around nearby M-dwarf stars. Here, we present the di…
89 New Ultracool Dwarf Co-Moving Companions Identified With The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 Citizen Science Project
Austin Rothermich, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Daniella Bardalez-Gagliuffi +43
We report the identification of 89 new systems containing ultracool dwarf companions to main sequence stars and white dwarfs, using the citizen science project Backyard Worlds: Pla…
Early-time Spectropolarimetry of the Aspherical Type II Supernova SN 2023ixf
Sergiy S. Vasylyev, Yi Yang, Alexei V. Filippenko +13
We present six epochs of optical spectropolarimetry of the Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf ranging from 2 to 15 days after the explosion. Polarimetry was obtained with the Ka…
SN 2023ixf in Messier 101: Photo-ionization of Dense, Close-in Circumstellar Material in a Nearby Type II Supernova
W. V. Jacobson-Galan, L. Dessart, R. Margutti +65
We present UV/optical observations and models of supernova (SN) 2023ixf, a type II SN located in Messier 101 at 6.9 Mpc. Early-time ("flash") spectroscopy of SN 2023ixf, obtained p…
