A Sample of Thick-Disk Stars Hosting Hot Jupiters

Victoria DiTomasso, Samuel W. Yee, Romy Rodriguez Martinez +6

We present a homogeneous analysis of 268 confirmed and candidate transiting hot-Jupiter host stars with 4800K < Teff < 6200K. We combine high-resolution TRES spectra, Gaia, 2MASS a…

Conspicuous Gas, Cryptic Dust: Spectroscopy and Chromaticity of Complex Periodic Variables

Luke G. Bouma, Facundo Perez Paolino, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +17

Complex periodic variables (CPVs) are young low-mass stars whose light curves show periodic dips indicative of transiting corotating material. The origin and composition of this ma…

Helium escaping from the atmosphere of a nearby rocky exoplanet orbiting in a habitable zone

Collin Cherubim, Shreyas Vissapragada, Tim Cunningham +13

Observations of highly irradiated gas giant exoplanets have shown helium escaping from their atmospheres. There is limited evidence for atmospheres on rocky exoplanets, perhaps bec…

The Receding Cosmic Shoreline of Mid-to-Late M Dwarfs: Measurements of Active Lifetimes Worsen Challenges for Atmosphere Retention by Rocky Exoplanets

Emily K Pass, David Charbonneau, Andrew Vanderburg

Detecting and characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets is a key goal of exoplanetary astronomy, one that may now be within reach given the upcoming campaign to cond…

The True Stellar Obliquity of a Sub-Saturn Planet from the Tierras Observatory and KPF

Patrick Tamburo, Samuel W. Yee, Juliana García-Mejía +7

We measure the true obliquity of TOI-2364, a K dwarf with a sub-Saturn-mass () transiting planet on the upper edge of the hot Neptune desert. We used new Rossiter-…

Discovery of two new polars evolved past the period bounce

Tim Cunningham, Ilaria Caiazzo, Gracjan Sienkiewicz +13

We report the discovery of two new magnetic cataclysmic variables with brown dwarf companions and long orbital periods ( and min). This discovery incr…

The dearth of high-mass hydrogen-atmosphere metal-polluted white dwarfs within 40 pc

Tim Cunningham, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Mairi O'Brien +7

We present a population synthesis model which addresses the different mass distributions of the metal-polluted and non-metal-polluted hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs identified in…

Expansion properties of the young supernova type Iax remnant Pa 30 revealed

Tim Cunningham, Ilaria Caiazzo, Nikolaus Z. Prusinski +14

The recently discovered Pa 30 nebula, the putative type Iax supernova remnant associated with the historical supernova of 1181 AD, shows puzzling characteristics that make it uniqu…

First on-sky results of a FIOS prototype, a Fabry Perot Based Instrument for Oxygen Searches

Surangkhana Rukdee, Sagi Ben-Ami, Mercedes López-Morales +4

The upcoming Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) are expected to have the collecting area required to detect potential biosignature gases such as molecular oxygen, , in…
