An Intermediate-orbit Brown Dwarf Confirmed with Astrometry+Radial Velocity Joint Analysis, and the Eccentricity Distribution of Brown Dwarfs Across Different Locations
Lei Ren, Tianjun Gan, Yifan Xuan +5
Intermediate-orbit ( AU) brown dwarfs with absolute mass measurements are essential for understanding the evolution of substellar objects. Although such systems remain rare…
Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP). III. Twenty-Nine Giant Planets from the TESS Mission
Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +97
We present the discovery and characterization of 29 hot and warm Jupiter systems transiting bright () FGK stars using TESS data and ground-based photometry and spectrosco…
Mode Switching in Two Blue Large Amplitude Pulsators observed by OGLE, KMTNet and DREAMS
Hao Ma, Shude Mao, Seung-Lee Kim +20
Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) are rare, hot, short-period pulsating stars whose rapid oscillations provide a unique probe of stellar interiors and atmospheres. In this pap…
Stellar Multiplicity of M Dwarfs with Short-period Giant Planets, and the Characterization of TOI-5628Ab
Tianjun Gan, Alexandrine L'Heureux, Charles Cadieux +33
Binary stars are ubiquitous, yet it remains unclear how wide-orbit stellar companions influence the formation of hot Jupiters, particularly around M dwarfs. Here, we first report t…
Discovery of an Inflated Hot Neptune and Its Formation from Jovian Mass Loss
Grant C. Weldon, Samuel W. Yee, Bradley M. S. Hansen +17
The production of Neptune-like planets with orbital periods of 3--6 days is challenging for conventional models of high-eccentricity migration. We present the discovery and charact…
Measuring Asteroid Rotation Periods Using the KMTNet Bulge Survey Data
Haitao Huang, Hongjing Yang, Chung-Uk Lee +6
Since 2015, the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) has conducted high-cadence, near-continuous observations of the Galactic bulge for nearly nine months each year from t…
The Pan-Pacific Planet Search -- IX. A menagerie of companions orbiting evolved stars
Robert A. Wittenmyer, Alexander Venner, Tyler Fairnington +22
We present resolutions as to the nature of six speculative candidate companions proposed in the final data release of the Pan-Pacific Planet Search, a 6-year radial-velocity survey…
Exoplanets in ancient stellar populations: occurrence constraints and hot-Jupiter candidates in the Galactic halo
Dolev Bashi, Michelle Kunimoto, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +3
The Galactic halo preserves a record of the Milky Way's earliest assembly and contains both in-situ stars and stars accreted from dwarf galaxies. Possible planets around these star…
RV and TTV Measurements of Two Transiting Long-Period Giants around TOI-4600
Tong Hu, Zitao Lin, Sharon X. Wang +27
TOI-4600b and c, originally identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and reported by I. Mireles et al. (2023), are a rare pair of transiting long-period giant…
An Aligned Very-Low-Mass Star Orbiting an M dwarf and Obliquity Patterns Across Giant Planets, Brown Dwarfs, and Binary Stars
Tianjun Gan, Alexandrine L'Heureux, Étienne Artigau +4
Stellar obliquity serves as a key diagnostic for tracing the dynamical evolution of bound systems-from giant planets and brown dwarfs to stellar binaries-revealing whether these di…
A Warm Massive Pair of Planets around TOI-1232 Revealed with Transit-timing Variations and Doppler Spectroscopy
Deyan P. Mihaylov, Jan Eberhardt, Trifon Trifonov +32
TOI-1232 is a G-dwarf star with a mass of , a radius of , and slightly higher metallicity than solar of Fe/H = .…
Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs
Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65
The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…
TESS planets in known radial velocity cold Jupiter systems: Hot super Earth occurrence is enhanced by cold Jupiters
Quanyi Liu, Wei Zhu, Tianjun Gan +1
The correlation between inner super-Earths (SEs) and outer cold Jupiters (CJs) provides an important constraint on the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. Previ…
Revisiting the atmosphere of HAT-P-70b with CARMENES high-resolution transmission spectroscopy
Tianjun Gan, Jaume Orell-Miquel, Fei Yan +19
Owing to hot and inflated envelopes that facilitate atmospheric studies, ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) have attracted much attention. Significant progress has been achieved, from enlar…
Dynamical Instability of Multi-planet Systems and Free-floating Planets
Ruocheng Zhai, Man Hoi Lee, Tianjun Gan +1
The ejection of planets by the instability of planetary systems is a potential source of free-floating planets. We numerically simulate multi-planet systems to study the evolution…
Metallicity Dependence of Giant Planets around M Dwarfs
Tianjun Gan, Christopher A. Theissen, Sharon X. Wang +2
We investigate the stellar metallicity ([Fe/H] and [M/H]) dependence of giant planets around M dwarfs by comparing the metallicity distribution of 746 field M dwarfs without known…
How Rare are TESS Free-Floating Planets?
Hongjing Yang, Weicheng Zang, Tianjun Gan +3
Recently, Kunimoto et al. claimed that a short-lived signal in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Sector 61 database was possibly caused by a microlensing event with…
Relative Occurrence Rate Between Hot and Cold Jupiters as an Indicator to Probe Planet Migration
Tianjun Gan, Kangrou Guo, Beibei Liu +4
We propose a second-order statistic parameter , the relative occurrence rate between hot and cold Jupiters (), to probe the migratio…
Two Candidate KH 15D-like Systems from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Wei Zhu, Klaus Bernhard, Fei Dai +8
KH 15D contains a circumbinary disk that is tilted relative to the orbital plane of the central binary. The precession of the disk and the orbital motion of the binary together pro…
