The Neptunian ridge planet WASP-156 b does not have a polar orbit
M. Lafarga, J. I. Espinoza-Retamal, H. M. Cegla +25
The population of short-period exo-Neptunes is thought to be shaped by an interplay between different dynamical mechanisms, such as orbital migration and tidal effects, and photoev…
Transformational astrophysics and exoplanet science with Habitable Worlds Observatory's High Resolution Imager
Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…
A 43 day transiting Neptune and two 25 day Saturns from TESS, NGTS and ASTEP
Alicia Kendall, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +53
Beyond orbital periods of 10 days, there is a dearth of known transiting gas giants. On longer orbits, planets are less affected by their host star, and become ideal probes of plan…
TOI-333b: A Neptune Desert planet around a F7V star
Douglas R. Alves, James S. Jenkins, José I. Vinés +29
Observations have shown that planets similar to Neptune are rarely found orbiting Sun-like stars with periods up to ~4 days, defining the so-called Neptune desert region. Therefore…
NGTS-11 c: a transiting Neptune-mass planet interior to the warm Saturn NGTS-11 b
David R. Anderson, Jose I. Vines, Katharine Hesse +56
We report the discovery of NGTS-11 c, a transiting warm Neptune ( d; ; ), in an…
TOI-5005 b: A super-Neptune in the savanna near the ridge
A. Castro-González, J. Lillo-Box, D. J. Armstrong +38
The Neptunian desert and savanna have recently been found to be separated by a ridge, an overdensity of planets in the period range of 3-5 days. These features are thought…
