SOAR TESS Survey III: Mapping the Stellar Companion Deficit around TESS Planet Candidates

Carl Ziegler, Andrei Tokovinin, César Briceño +3

We present the cumulative SOAR TESS Survey, based on HRCam speckle observations of 2,982 targets, and report 433 companion measurements obtained after Survey II. In a demographic s…

Thermal Eclipse Observation of the Young Hot Neptune AU Mic b with Spitzer

Kevin I. Collins, Peter Plavchan, Zachory Berta-Thompson +11

We present the observation of a secondary eclipse of the young hot Neptune, AU Mic b, in the infrared using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Using a primary transit from Spitzer to con…

Unraveling the Brown Dwarf Desert: Four New Discoveries and a Unifying, Period-Coded Picture

Ján Šubjak, Rafael Brahm, Jozef Lipták +30

We present four newly validated transiting brown dwarfs identified through TESS photometry and confirmed with high-precision radial velocity measurements obtained from the FEROS an…

The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. III. Thirty More Giant Planets

Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +123

We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…

The TOI-1117 Multi-planetary System: 3 sub-Neptunes, 1 in both the Neptunian Desert and Radius Valley

Isobel S. Lockley, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández +33

We present the discovery of three sub-Neptune planets around TOI-1117, a Sun-like star with mass , radius , age Gyr and ef…

Investigating the eccentricity distribution of transiting, long-period giant planets

Ahlam Alqasim, Teruyuki Hirano, Yasunori Hori +12

Eccentric giant planets are predicted to have acquired their eccentricity through two major mechanisms: the Kozai-Lidov effect or planet-planet scattering, but it is normally diffi…

GJ 238 b: A 0.57 Earth Radius Planet Orbiting an M2.5 Dwarf Star at 15.2 pc

Evan Tey, Avi Shporer, Zifan Lin +30

We report the discovery of the transiting planet GJ 238 b, with a radius of R ( times the radius of Mars) and an orbital period of 1.74 da…

Surviving in the Hot Neptune Desert: The Discovery of the Ultra-Hot Neptune TOI-3261b

Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer A. Burt +45

The recent discoveries of Neptune-sized ultra-short period planets (USPs) challenge existing planet formation theories. It is unclear whether these residents of the Hot Neptune Des…

HD 21520 b: a warm sub-Neptune transiting a bright G dwarf

Molly Nies, Ismael Mireles, François Bouchy +49

We report the discovery and validation of HD 21520 b, a transiting planet found with TESS and orbiting a bright G dwarf (V=9.2, K, $R_{\star} = 1.04\pm 0.02…

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) X: a two-planet system in the 210 Myr MELANGE-5 Association

Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Madyson G. Barber +35

Young (<500 Myr) planets are critical to studying how planets form and evolve. Among these young planetary systems, multi-planet configurations are particularly useful as they prov…

Separated twins or just siblings? A multi-planet system around an M dwarf including a cool sub-Neptune

Mallory Harris, Diana Dragomir, Ismael Mireles +27

We report the discovery of two TESS sub-Neptunes orbiting the early M dwarf TOI-904 (TIC 261257684). Both exoplanets, TOI-904 b and c, were initially observed in TESS Sector 12 wit…

Cluster Difference Imaging Photometric Survey. II. TOI 837: A Young Validated Planet in IC 2602

L. G. Bouma, J. D. Hartman, R. Brahm +42

We report the discovery of TOI 837b and its validation as a transiting planet. We characterize the system using data from the NASA TESS mission, the ESA Gaia mission, ground-based…

A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert

David J. Armstrong, Théo A. Lopez, Vardan Adibekyan +91

The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of plan…
