RV and TTV Measurements of Two Transiting Long-Period Giants around TOI-4600
Tong Hu, Zitao Lin, Sharon X. Wang +27
TOI-4600b and c, originally identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and reported by I. Mireles et al. (2023), are a rare pair of transiting long-period giant…
Searching for GEMS: TOI-5349b is a Saturn-like planet orbiting a metal-rich early M-dwarf
Angeli Sandoval, Caleb I. Cañas, Shubham Kanodia +27
We report the confirmation and analysis of TOI-5349b, a transiting, warm, Saturn-like planet orbiting an early M-dwarf with a period of 3.3 days, which we confirmed as part o…
Aligned Stellar Obliquities for Two Hot Jupiter-hosting M Dwarfs Revealed by MAROON-X: Implications for Hot Jupiter Formation
Drew Weisserman, Erik Gillis, Ryan Cloutier +14
Hot Jupiters (HJs) are less common around early M dwarfs than around AFGK stars, suggesting that HJs may form and/or migrate via distinct pathways around different type…
The JWST Rocky Worlds DDT Program reveals GJ 3929b to likely be a bare rock
Qiao Xue, Michael Zhang, Brandon P. Coy +14
We report first results from the JWST Rocky Worlds Director's Discretionary Time program. Two secondary eclipses of the terrestrial exoplanet GJ 3929b were recently observed using…
An Earth-like Density for the Temperate Earth-sized Planet GJ 12b
Madison Brady, Jacob Bean, Ritvik Basant +9
While JWST has provided us with the opportunity to probe the atmospheres of potentially-habitable planets, observations of the TRAPPIST-1 system have shown us that active stars sev…
Four sub-Earth planets orbiting Barnard's Star from MAROON-X and ESPRESSO
Ritvik Basant, Rafael Luque, Jacob L. Bean +9
Barnard's Star is an old, single M dwarf star that comprises the second-closest extrasolar system. It has a long history of claimed planet detections from both radial velocities an…
