The Galactic Dynamics of Free-Floating Planets: From Ejection Kicks to Microlensing
Zara Sayed, Stefano Profumo, Nolan Smyth
Free-floating planets (FFPs) may retain dynamical signatures of the mechanisms that eject them from their host systems. We integrate collisionless FFP test particles for $10…
Searching for Free-Floating Planets with TESS: A Few Words of Clarification
Michelle Kunimoto, William DeRocco, Nolan Smyth +1
We recently described the results of an initial search through TESS Sector 61 for free-floating planets. In this short note, we provide important context for our results and clarif…
Searching for Free-Floating Planets with TESS: Results from Sectors 61-65
Michelle Kunimoto, William DeRocco, Nolan Smyth +2
Though free-floating planets (FFPs) may outpopulate their bound counterparts in the terrestrial-mass range, they remain one of the least explored exoplanet demographics. Due to the…
Constraints on sub-terrestrial free-floating planets from Subaru microlensing observations
William DeRocco, Nolan Smyth, Stefano Profumo
The abundance of protoplanetary bodies ejected from their parent star system is presently poorly-constrained. With only two existing optical observations of interstellar objects in…
