Peas and USPs: Can Stellar Spindown and Peas in a Pod Replicate Ultra-Short-Period Planet Characteristics?
Adam Distler, Juliette Becker
Peas-in-a-Pod (PIAP) systems have been shown to be common across exoplanet systems, with regular planet spacings and similar planet sizes. In contrast, ultra-short-period planets h…
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…
A Multi-Method Age Determination for the Ursa Major Moving Group
Julia Sheffler, Max Clark, Melinda Soares-Furtado +4
The Ursa Major Moving Group (UMa) is one of the closest stellar associations, yet its age has remained controversial, with published estimates ranging from 200 Myr to 1 Gyr. We pre…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XII: A Young Mini-Neptune on the Upper Edge of the Radius Valley in the Hyades Cluster
Adam Distler, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew Vanderburg +18
We present the discovery and characterization of TOI-4364\,b, a young mini-Neptune in the tidal tails of the Hyades cluster, identified through TESS transit observations and ground…
