Elisabeth R. Newton, Rayna Rampalli, Adam L. Kraus +36
The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution by…
TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short cadence observations of 4584 eclipsing binaries in Sectors 1-26
Andrej Prsa, Angela Kochoska, Kyle E. Conroy +44
In this paper we present a catalog of 4584 eclipsing binaries observed during the first two years (26 sectors) of the TESS survey. We discuss selection criteria for eclipsing binar…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) VI: an 11 Myr giant planet transiting a very low-mass star in Lower Centaurus Crux
Andrew W. Mann, Mackenna L. Wood, Stephen P. Schmidt +48
Mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are predicted to be Jovian radius when younger than 10 Myr. Thus, we expect to find 5-15 planets around young stars even if t…
A pair of warm giant planets near the 2:1 mean motion resonance around the K-dwarf star TOI-2202
Trifon Trifonov, Rafael Brahm, Nestor Espinoza +37
TOI-2202 b is a transiting warm Jovian-mass planet with an orbital period of P=11.91 days identified from the Full Frame Images data of five different sectors of the TESS mission.…
