Exoplanet Science From {\it Kepler}
Jack J. Lissauer, Natalie M. Batalha, William J. Borucki
The Kepler spacecraft, whose single instrument was a 0.95 m diameter wide-field telescope, operated in a heliocentric orbit for nearly a decade, returning a wealth of data that hav…
VaTEST III: Validation of 8 Potential Super-Earths from TESS Data
Priyashkumar Mistry, Aniket Prasad, Mousam Maity +29
NASA's all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is specifically engineered to detect exoplanets that transit bright stars. Thus far, TESS has succe…
Updated Catalog of Kepler Planet Candidates: Focus on Accuracy and Orbital Periods
Jack J. Lissauer, Jason F. Rowe, Daniel Jontof-Hutter +5
We present a new catalog of Kepler planet candidates that prioritizes accuracy of planetary dispositions and properties over uniformity. This catalog contains 4376 transiting plane…
TOI-5126: A hot super-Neptune and warm Neptune pair discovered by and
Tyler R. Fairnington, Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang +33
We present the confirmation of a hot super-Neptune with an exterior Neptune companion orbiting a bright (V = 10.1 mag) F-dwarf identified by the $\textit{Transiting Exoplanet Surve…
TOI-199 b: A well-characterized 100-day transiting warm giant planet with TTVs seen from Antarctica
Melissa J. Hobson, Trifon Trifonov, Thomas Henning +49
We present the spectroscopic confirmation and precise mass measurement of the warm giant planet TOI-199 b. This planet was first identified in TESS photometry and confirmed using g…
TESS Spots a Super-Puff: The Remarkably Low Density of TOI-1420b
Stephanie Yoshida, Shreyas Vissapragada, David W. Latham +51
We present the discovery of TOI-1420b, an exceptionally low-density ( g cm) transiting planet in a day orbit around a late G dwarf star. Using tra…
A super-massive Neptune-sized planet
L. Naponiello, L. Mancini, A. Sozzetti +55
Neptune-sized planets exhibit a wide range of compositions and densities, depending onf cators related to their formation and evolution history, such as the distance from their hos…
TOI-4600 b and c: Two long-period giant planets orbiting an early K dwarf
Ismael Mireles, Diana Dragomir, Hugh P. Osborn +31
We report the discovery and validation of two long-period giant exoplanets orbiting the early K dwarf TOI-4600 (V=12.6, T=11.9), first detected using observations from the Transiti…
A Transiting Super-Earth in the Radius Valley and An Outer Planet Candidate Around HD 307842
Xinyan Hua, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Johanna K. Teske +32
We report the confirmation of a TESS-discovered transiting super-Earth planet orbiting a mid-G star, HD 307842 (TOI-784). The planet has a period of 2.8 days, and the radial veloci…
TOI-4010: A System of Three Large Short-Period Planets With a Massive Long-Period Companion
Michelle Kunimoto, Andrew Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +53
We report the confirmation of three exoplanets transiting TOI-4010 (TIC-352682207), a metal-rich K dwarf observed by TESS in Sectors 24, 25, 52, and 58. We confirm these planets wi…
TOI-2498 b: A hot bloated super-Neptune within the Neptune desert
Ginger Frame, David J. Armstrong, Heather M. Cegla +39
We present the discovery and confirmation of a transiting hot, bloated Super-Neptune using photometry from TESS and LCOGT and radial velocity measurements from HARPS. The host star…
False Alarms Revealed in a Planet Search of TESS Light Curves
Michelle Kunimoto, Steve Bryson, Tansu Daylan +4
We examined the period distribution of transit-like signatures uncovered in a Box-Least Squares transit search of TESS light curves, and show significant pileups at periods related…
