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…

Searching for GEMS: TOI-5349b is a Saturn-like planet orbiting a metal-rich early M-dwarf

Angeli Sandoval, Caleb I. Cañas, Shubham Kanodia +27

We report the confirmation and analysis of TOI-5349b, a transiting, warm, Saturn-like planet orbiting an early M-dwarf with a period of 3.3 days, which we confirmed as part o…

Aligned Stellar Obliquities for Two Hot Jupiter-hosting M Dwarfs Revealed by MAROON-X: Implications for Hot Jupiter Formation

Drew Weisserman, Erik Gillis, Ryan Cloutier +14

Hot Jupiters (HJs) are less common around early M dwarfs than around AFGK stars, suggesting that HJs may form and/or migrate via distinct pathways around different type…

The JWST Rocky Worlds DDT Program reveals GJ 3929b to likely be a bare rock

Qiao Xue, Michael Zhang, Brandon P. Coy +14

We report first results from the JWST Rocky Worlds Director's Discretionary Time program. Two secondary eclipses of the terrestrial exoplanet GJ 3929b were recently observed using…

An Earth-like Density for the Temperate Earth-sized Planet GJ 12b

Madison Brady, Jacob Bean, Ritvik Basant +9

While JWST has provided us with the opportunity to probe the atmospheres of potentially-habitable planets, observations of the TRAPPIST-1 system have shown us that active stars sev…

Four sub-Earth planets orbiting Barnard's Star from MAROON-X and ESPRESSO

Ritvik Basant, Rafael Luque, Jacob L. Bean +9

Barnard's Star is an old, single M dwarf star that comprises the second-closest extrasolar system. It has a long history of claimed planet detections from both radial velocities an…

Calibrating the Instrumental Drift in MAROON-X using an Ensemble Analysis

Ritvik Basant, Tanya Das, Jacob L. Bean +7

MAROON-X is a state-of-the-art extreme precision radial velocity spectrograph deployed on the 8.1-meter Gemini-N telescope on Maunakea, Hawai'i. Using a stabilized Fabry-Pérot etal…

A Small Brown Dwarf in an Aligned Orbit around a Young, Fully-Convective M Star

M. Brady, J. Bean, G. Stefánsson +6

A star's spin-orbit angle can give us insight into a system's formation and dynamical history. In this paper, we use MAROON-X observations of the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect to…

Searching for GEMS: Characterizing Six Giant Planets around Cool Dwarfs

Shubham Kanodia, Arvind F. Gupta, Caleb I. Canas +42

Transiting giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars (GEMS) are rare, owing to the low-mass host stars. However, the all-sky coverage of TESS has enabled the detection of an increasing…

The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201

Tianjun Gan, Sharon X. Wang, Fei Dai +12

Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities…
