HIP 61637 b: a TESS Brown Dwarf in a Near-circular Orbit around a Massive A-type Star
Nino Ephremidze, David W. Latham, Perry Berlind +8
We present the characterization of HIP 61637 b (TOI-5401 b), a brown dwarf discovered by TESS to transit an A-type star. HIP 61637 is the most massive and the brightest star known…
High five from ASTEP: Three validated planets and two eclipsing binaries in a diverse set of long-period candidates
Erika Rea, Maximilian N. Günther, George Dransfield +44
We present the analysis of five long-period TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs), all orbiting Sun-like stars, with orbital periods exceeding one month. Initially identified by the Tran…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XIV: A Comoving-Based Age Constraint for KELT-20
Adam Distler, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew W. Mann +9
Young stellar moving groups offer unique opportunities to investigate the early evolution of stellar and planetary systems. In continuation of an ongoing effort to age-date compell…
TOI-6692b: An eccentric 130 day period giant planet with a single transit from TESS
Allyson Bieryla, Karen A. Collins, George Zhou +46
We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-6692 b, an eccentric (e~0.54) Jupiter on a 130-day orbit. TOI-6692 b was first detected as a community TESS Object of Interest (…
The OATMEAL Survey. III. An Aligned Transiting Warm Brown Dwarf and Evidence for Quiescent Brown Dwarf Migration
Noah Vowell, Jiayin Dong, Joseph E. Rodriguez +7
We present the first measurement of the sky-projected orbital obliquity of a benchmark transiting brown dwarf host, HIP 33609, as a part of the Orbital Architectures of Transiting…
Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) II: Super-Jupiters and Lithium-rich Host Stars
Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +30
Although hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets discovered orbiting main sequence stars, the dominant mechanisms through which they form and evolve are not known. To address the qu…
