JWST unveils a high mean molecular weight atmosphere for mini-Neptune TOI-1130b: Evidence for formation beyond the water ice line
Saugata Barat, Tyler Fairnington, Shelby Courreges +21
We present the combined JWST/NIRSpec G395H and NIRISS SOSS transmission spectrum of a warm mini-Neptune, TOI-1130b (3.66 R, 19.8 M, K). It is…
A high mutual inclination system around KOI-134 revealed by transit timing variations
Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang, Judith Korth +9
Few planetary systems have measured mutual inclinations, and even less are found to be non-coplanar. Observing the gravitational interactions between exoplanets is an effective too…
Evolution of Extremely Soft Binaries in Dense Star Clusters: On the Jupiter Mass Binary Objects
Yihan Wang, Rosalba Perna, Zhaohuan Zhu +1
Star-forming regions, characterized by dense environments, experience frequent encounters that significantly influence binary systems, leading to their hardening, softening, or ion…
Dynamical Evolution of Closely Packed Multiple Planetary Systems Subject to Atmospheric Mass-Loss
S. Wang, D. N. C. Lin
A gap in exoplanets' radius distribution has been widely attributed to the photo-evaporation threshold of their progenitors' gaseous envelope. Giant impacts can also lead to substa…
Are the Kepler Near-Resonance Planet Pairs due to Tidal Dissipation?
Man Hoi Lee, D. Fabrycky, D. N. C. Lin
The multiple-planet systems discovered by the Kepler mission show an excess of planet pairs with period ratios just wide of exact commensurability for first-order resonances like 2…
The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Frequency of Giant Planets around Young B and A Stars
Eric L. Nielsen, Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj +22
We have carried out high contrast imaging of 70 young, nearby B and A stars to search for brown dwarf and planetary companions as part of the Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign. O…
The Importance of Disk Structure in Stalling Type I Migration
Katherine A. Kretke, D. N. C. Lin
As planets form they tidally interact with their natal disks. Though the tidal perturbation induced by Earth and super-Earth mass planets is generally too weak to significantly mod…
A Population of Very-Hot Super-Earths in Multiple-Planet Systems Should be Uncovered by Kepler
Kevin C. Schlaufman, D. N. C. Lin, S. Ida
We simulate a Kepler-like observation of a theoretical exoplanet population and we show that the observed orbital period distribution of the Kepler giant planet candidates is best…
