The KPF-SLOPE Survey - Small, Compact Multi-Planet Systems Appear Spin-Orbit Aligned

Luke B. Handley, Andrew W. Howard, Fei Dai +16

The angle between stellar spin axes and planetary orbits -- stellar obliquity -- probes the dynamics of planetary migration and evolution. The obliquities of giant planets have bee…

A Test of Substellar Evolutionary Models with High-Precision Ages from Asteroseismology and Gyrochronology for the Benchmark System HR 7672AB

Yaguang Li, Michael C. Liu, Trent J. Dupuy +35

We present high-precision measurements for HR~7672AB, composed of a Sun-like (G0V) star and an L~dwarf companion. Three nights of precise (70 cm/s) radial velocity (RV) asteroseism…

TOI-4495: A Pair of Aligned, Near-Resonant Sub-Neptunes that Likely Experienced Overstable Migration

Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +24

We report the discovery of a sub-Neptune and a Neptune-like planet (, ) orbiting the F-type star TOI-449…

The OATMEAL Survey. II. The 3D spin-orbit obliquity of an eccentric transiting brown dwarf in the Ruprecht 147 open cluster

Theron W. Carmichael, Steven Giacalone, Noah Vowell +11

We present new analysis of the CWW 89 system as part of the Orbital Architectures of Transiting Massive Exoplanets And Low-mass stars (OATMEAL) survey. The CWW 89 system is a membe…

No Giant Planets in the Eta Cassiopeiae System: Dynamical Implications of a Wide Binary Companion

Stephen R. Kane, Zhexing Li, Michelle L. Hill +3

Given the vast number of stars that exist within binary systems, it remains important to explore the effect of binary star environments on the formation and evolution of exoplaneta…

The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge

Samuel W. Yee, Patrick Tamburo, Gudmundur Stefánsson +11

The ``Neptunian ridge'' is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and…
