Near-infrared spectra of chemically peculiar stars and applications to kilonova spectra

Nanae Domoto, Masaomi Tanaka, Wako Aoki +11

Kilonova spectra provide information on rapid neutron-capture nucleosynthesis in neutron star mergers. However, it remains challenging to identify individual elements in kilonova s…

A Search for helium in the atmospheres of three sub-Neptunes and a super-Earth around M-dwarfs

Kiyoe Kawauchi, Norio Narita, Yuichi Ito +26

Thousands of sub-Neptunes have been discovered mainly through space-based surveys such as Kepler and TESS. Their bulk compositions and internal structures are thought to reflect th…

The mass of TOI-1883 b: A low density super-Neptune in the ridge regime transiting an early-M dwarf

Izuru Fukuda, Norio Narita, Akihiko Fukui +36

Recent large-scale transit surveys conducted by space telescopes such as Kepler and TESS have revealed a vast number of exoplanets, uncovering the diversity of their population. On…

Direct Imaging Explorations for Companions from the Subaru/IRD Strategic Program II; Discovery of a Brown-dwarf Companion around a Nearby mid-M~dwarf LSPM~J1446+4633

Taichi Uyama, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Charles Beichman +35

We report the discovery of a new directly-imaged brown dwarf companion with Keck/NIRC2+pyWFS around a nearby mid-type M~dwarf LSPM~J1446+4633 (hereafter J1446). The -band contr…

The mass of TOI-654 b: A short-period sub-Neptune transiting a mid-M dwarf

Kai Ikuta, Norio Narita, Takuya Takarada +40

Sub-Neptunes are small planets between the size of the Earth and Neptune. The orbital and bulk properties of transiting sub-Neptunes can provide clues for their formation and evolu…

Atmospheric retrieval of Subaru/IRD high-resolution spectrum of the archetype T-type brown dwarf Gl 229 B

Yui Kawashima, Hajime Kawahara, Yui Kasagi +14

Brown dwarfs provide a unique opportunity to study atmospheres and their physical and chemical processes with high precision, especially in temperature ranges relevant to exoplanet…

The Discovery and Follow-up of Four Transiting Short-period Sub-Neptunes Orbiting M dwarfs

Y. Hori, A. Fukui, T. Hirano +100

Sub-Neptunes with are intermediate in size between rocky planets and Neptune-sized planets. The orbital properties and bulk compositions of transiting sub-Neptunes pr…

Absence of extended atmospheres in low-mass star radius-gap planets GJ 9827 b, GJ 9827 d and TOI-1235 b

Vigneshwaran Krishnamurthy, Teruyuki Hirano, Eric Gaidos +20

\textit{Kepler} showed a paucity of planets with radii of 1.5 - 2 around solar mass stars but this radius-gap has not been well studied for low-mass star plane…
