Granulation in Color: The Chromatic Stellar Flicker of LTT-9779 and WASP-121

William C. Waalkes, Nadiia Kostogryz, Valeriy Vasilyev +9

Granulation is a persistent feature of stars with outer convective layers and is the photospheric signature of near-surface convective energy transport. In disk-integrated observat…

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…

Exoplanet Detection Techniques: Radial Velocity

Rafael Luque, Matthew R. Standing

The radial velocity (RV) technique enabled the discovery of the first exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars. Since then, improvements in precision and sensitivity have enabled the det…

JWST MIRI reveals a potential atmosphere on the ultra-hot rocky planet TOI-431b

Cole Smith, Brandon Park Coy, Megan Weiner Mansfield +13

An open question in exoplanet science is whether rocky exoplanets extremely close in to their host stars, `lava worlds', can retain significant atmospheres. Thermal emission observ…

Life 2.0: A Scalable Distributed Space-Telescope Array for Biosignature Spectroscopy

Jian Ge, Zhangqi Dang, Ziru Zhang +15

Answering the question "Are we alone?" requires atmospheric spectroscopy of nearby terrestrial planets. For an Earth--Sun analog, even the strongest transmission signals are expect…

KRONOS I: The m JWST Transmission Spectrum of the 23 Myr V1298 Tau c

Matthew M. Murphy, Matthew C. Nixon, Adina D. Feinstein +16

While recent JWST observations of mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes have frequently revealed featureless transmission spectra, their inflated progenitors offer a unique window i…

KRONOS II: Solar-like Umbra and Penumbra Properties on the Young Sun V1298~Tau

Matthew M. Murphy, Adina D. Feinstein, Meir E. Schochet +14

Transiting exoplanets provide a unique laboratory for studying stellar surface heterogeneities via starspot or facular occultations. When observed at multiple wavelengths, this con…

Evidence for an Atmosphere on the Ultra-Short Period super-Earth HD 3167 b

Brandon Park Coy, Qiao Xue, Megan Weiner Mansfield +14

'Lava worlds'-Earth-sized planets hot enough (Teq >~ 1100 K) to melt their dayside silicate surfaces-have emerged as promising candidates for atmospheric detection and characteriza…
