pyTANSPEC v1.0 and HxRGproc: Updated packages to Clean and Reduce TANSPEC data
Varghese Reji, Joe P. Ninan, Supriyo Ghosh +2
TIFR-ARIES Near-Infrared Spectrometer (TANSPEC) is a spectrograph-cum-imager operating over the wavelength range m. The instrument is mounted on the 3.6-m Devasthal…
Searching for GEMS: Confirmation of TOI-5573b, a Cool, Saturn-like Planet Orbiting An M-dwarf
Rachel B Fernandes, Shubham Kanodia, Megan Delamer +35
We present the confirmation of TOI-5573b, a Saturn-sized exoplanet on an 8.79-day orbit around an early M-dwarf (3790 K, 0.59 R, 0.61 M, 12.30 J mag). TOI-5573b has a…
Searching for GEMS: TOI-5688 A b, a low-density giant orbiting a high-metallicity early M-dwarf
Varghese Reji, Shubham Kanodia, Joe Ninan +31
We present the discovery of a low-density planet orbiting the high-metallicity early M-dwarf TOI-5688 A b. This planet was characterized as part of the search for transiting giant…
Gaia-4b and 5b: Radial Velocity Confirmation of Gaia Astrometric Orbital Solutions Reveal a Massive Planet and a Brown Dwarf Orbiting Low-mass Stars
Gudmundur Stefansson, Suvrath Mahadevan, Joshua Winn +31
Gaia astrometry of nearby stars is precise enough to detect the tiny displacements induced by substellar companions, but radial velocity data are needed for definitive confirmation…
Searching for GEMS: TOI-6383Ab, a giant planet transiting an M3-dwarf star in a binary system
Lia Marta Bernabò, Shubham Kanodia, Caleb I. Canas +22
We report on the discovery of a transiting giant planet around the 3500 K M3-dwarf star TOI-6383A located 172 pc from Earth. It was detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Sate…
Searching for GEMS: Characterizing Six Giant Planets around Cool Dwarfs
Shubham Kanodia, Arvind F. Gupta, Caleb I. Canas +42
Transiting giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars (GEMS) are rare, owing to the low-mass host stars. However, the all-sky coverage of TESS has enabled the detection of an increasing…
