Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Photometric Diagnostics of Magnetospheric Accretion Geometry in Young Stellar Objects

Laura Venuti, Connor E. Robinson, Ann Marie Cody +13

The inner disk truncation radius, , plays a crucial role in the regulation of star-disk interaction and the early evolution of star-disk-planet systems; however, measuring thi…

Exoplanet System Architecture: Sculpting the Inner Regions

Mark R. Swain, Geoffrey Bryden, Jonathan C. Tan +14

In this study, we seek to improve our understanding of the competing roles of disk-driven and planet-planet dynamical migration in sculpting planetary system architecture in the in…

Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Detecting the Primordial, Transiting Exoplanet Population

George Zhou, James G. Rogers, Jennifer A. Burt +17

The close-in small planet population may be formed either with hydrogen/helium dominated envelopes or with water-rich interiors. Both scenarios reproduce the present day planet pop…

The mass distribution of clumpy accretion onto the nearby young star TW Hya

Tao Ji, Javier Serna, Gregory J. Herczeg +12

The proliferation of high time-resolution and decades-long monitoring of classical T Tauri stars provides a vast opportunity to test the variability of the star-disk connections. H…

TESS Discovers a Second System of Transiting Exocomets in the Extreme Debris Disk of RZ Psc

Adalyn Gibson, Meredith A. MacGregor, Ward S. Howard +9

We present the TESS discovery of only the second system of transiting exocomets with a sufficient number of events to measure the size distribution in the RZ Psc system, enabling c…

PENELLOPE VII: Revisiting empirical relations to measure accretion luminosity

E. Fiorellino, J. M. Alcalá, C. F. Manara +10

The accretion luminosity (Lacc) in young, low-mass stars is crucial for understanding stellar formation, but direct measurements are often hindered by limited spectral coverage and…
