Stellar Obliquities of Young Systems, Atmospheres Undergoing Contraction and Escape (SOYSAUCE) II: a 135 Myr planet on an aligned orbit with transit timing variations
Madyson G. Barber, Andrew W. Mann, Sydney Vach +16
Young planets (<1 Gyr) provide opportunities to directly probe planet formation and evolution processes in action. However, due to heightened stellar activity, there is a lack of k…
SPYGLASS. VII-B. Tracing the Fragments of Massive Star Formation Using Low-Mass Associations
Ronan Kerr, Adam L. Kraus, Jonathan C. Tan +6
New observations from the Gaia spacecraft have traced an emerging demographic of low-mass associations disconnected from larger associations or GMCs. The first of these association…
The Herculis system solved after nearly three centuries
Marcus L. Marcussen, Mikkel N. Lund, Frank Grundahl +11
Herculis is a bright, nearby quadruple system. Its brightest member, Her Aa, displays solar-like oscillations, establishing the system as a crucial benchmark for asterose…
Determining the Host Stars of Planets in Binary Star Systems with Asterodensity Profiling: Investigating the Canonical Radius Gap
Nathanael Burns-Watson, Kendall Sullivan, Adam Kraus
Over the past 30 years, thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, revealing detailed demographics of planets outside the Solar System. One of the most dramatic features of the…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XIV: A Comoving-Based Age Constraint for KELT-20
Adam Distler, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew W. Mann +9
Young stellar moving groups offer unique opportunities to investigate the early evolution of stellar and planetary systems. In continuation of an ongoing effort to age-date compell…
Dynamical Architectures of S-type Transiting Planets in Binaries II: A Dichotomy in Orbital Alignment of Small Planets in Close Binary Systems
Jingwen Zhang, Daniel Huber, Michael Bottom +35
Stellar multiplicity plays a crucial role in shaping planet formation and dynamical evolution. We present a survey of 54 TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) within 300 pc that exhibit…
