TS23/McDonald and FIES/NOT strike again. Two new warm Jupiter systems and outer companions in a third

E. Knudstrup, D. Gandolfi, W. D. Cochran +29

Warm Jupiters (gas giant planets with orbital periods of P8-200 d) are thought to be largely unaffected by the tidal interactions that can erase information about the dynamic…

Probing Exoplanetary Chemistry with Ariel: Scientific Priorities and Observational Strategies

Olivia Venot, Yamila Miguel, Robin Baeyens +30

Over the past two decades, increasingly precise observations have revealed that exoplanet atmospheres are chemically diverse and often far from equilibrium, with processes such as…

The metallicity of giant exoplanets around low-mass stars and how Ariel can help

Ravit Helled, Sho Shibata, Shubham Kanodia +1

Giant planets orbiting low-mass stars represent a unique population of giant planets that can be studied to constrain planet formation theory. Surveys of transiting giant exoplanet…

ASTEP confirmation of a pair of long-period Jupiter-sized planets with extremely low densities transiting TOI-791

Georgina Dransfield, Antoine C. Petit, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud +45

Gas giant planets with periods orbiting Sun-like stars are a relatively uncommon outcome of planetary formation, and key questions about the nature and form…

The Albedo Problem and Cloud Cover on Hot Jupiters

Kevin Heng, Billy Edwards, Nicolas B. Cowan

Observations of transiting hot Jupiters have revealed a mismatch between the values of the Bond versus geometric albedos. In the planetary science literature, the ratio of these qu…

TrES-1 b: A Case Study in Detecting Secular Evolution of Exoplanet Orbits

Simone R. Hagey, Billy Edwards, Angelos Tsiaras +43

We present a comprehensive analysis of transit, eclipse, and radial velocity data of the hot Jupiter TrES-1 b and confirm evidence of orbital variations on secular timescales. Appa…

Towards High Precision Mass Measurements of Two Sub-Neptunes in the K2-266 Planetary System Through Transit Timing

Ing-Guey Jiang, Li-Chin Yeh, Billy Edwards +3

Sub-Neptunes have been found to be one of the most common types of exoplanets, yet their physical parameters and properties are poorly determined and in need of further investigati…

A Global Perspective with Updated Constraints on the Ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-19b: Atmospheric Properties and Stellar Activity

Abigail A. Tumborang, Jessica J. Spake, Heather A. Knutson +7

We present a detailed reanalysis of the atmospheric properties of WASP-19b, an ultra-hot Jupiter (1.14 M Jup, 1.41 R Jup) orbiting an active Sun-like star every 0.79 day. We reanal…

Revisiting physical parameters of the benchmark brown dwarf LHS 6343 C through a HST/WFC3 secondary eclipse observation

William Frost, Loïc Albert, René Doyon +7

The LHS 6343 system consists of a resolved M-dwarf binary with an evolved, negligibly irradiated brown dwarf, LHS 6343 C, orbiting the primary star. Such brown dwarf eclipsing bina…

HD 21520 b: a warm sub-Neptune transiting a bright G dwarf

Molly Nies, Ismael Mireles, François Bouchy +49

We report the discovery and validation of HD 21520 b, a transiting planet found with TESS and orbiting a bright G dwarf (V=9.2, K, $R_{\star} = 1.04\pm 0.02…

A roadmap for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with JWST

TRAPPIST-1 JWST Community Initiative, :, Julien de Wit +80

Ultra-cool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived, and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with JWST. Amongst them, the most prominen…

New Mass and Radius Constraints on the LHS 1140 Planets -- LHS 1140 b is Either a Temperate Mini-Neptune or a Water World

Charles Cadieux, Mykhaylo Plotnykov, René Doyon +43

The two-planet transiting system LHS 1140 has been extensively observed since its discovery in 2017, notably with , HST, TESS, and ESPRESSO, placing strong constraints on…

Two mini-Neptunes Transiting the Adolescent K-star HIP 113103 Confirmed with TESS and CHEOPS

Nataliea Lowson, George Zhou, Chelsea X. Huang +31

We report the discovery of two mini-Neptunes in near 2:1 resonance orbits ( d for HIP 113103 b and d for HIP 113103 c) around the adolescent K-star HIP 11…
