Enhancing the Interpretability of Radial Velocity Analysis Using Leave-one-out Cross-validation

Matthew C. Nixon, Ritvik Basant, Rafael Luque +2

Radial velocity (RV) observations are reaching increasingly high precision, enabling the targeting of low-amplitude signals. Assessing results obtained at the limits of our capabil…

New and Updated Rossiter-McLaughlin Measurements for Three Hot Jupiter-Hosting M Dwarfs

Drew Weisserman, Ryan Cloutier, Alexandra Rochon +12

Evidence suggests that Kozai-Lidov high-eccentricity migration (HEM) is the dominant migration channel for short-period Giant Exoplanets around M dwarf Stars (GEMS). However, it is…

A Pair of Warm Saturn-mass Planets near the 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance around TOI-3850

Sean Collins, Michelle Kunimoto, Nicolas B. Cowan +24

Warm Jupiters, with orbital periods of -- and radii exceeding , are a relatively understudied class of exoplanets occupying the parameter space bet…

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…

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…

EDEN Survey: Small Transiting Planet Detection Limits and Constraints on the Occurrence Rates for Late M Dwarfs within 15 pc

Jeremy Dietrich, Dániel Apai, Martin Schlecker +29

Earth-sized exoplanets that transit nearby, late spectral type red dwarfs will be prime targets for atmospheric characterization in the coming decade. Such systems, however, are di…

An Integrative Analysis of the Rich Planetary System of the Nearby Star e Eridani: Ideal Targets For Exoplanet Imaging and Biosignature Searches

Ritvik Basant, Jeremy Dietrich, Daniel Apai

e Eridani, the fifth-closest Sun-like star, hosts at least three planets and could possibly harbor more. However, the veracity of the planet candidates in the system and its full p…
