CHEOPS photometry from 2024 reveals a reversal in the transit-timing variations of AU Mic c

Z. Garai, Gy. M. Szabó, D. Gandolfi +90

We present new CHEOPS transit observations of AU Mic b and AU Mic c obtained between June and September 2024, extending the baseline of transit-timing measurements of this young pl…

Spin-Orbit Geometry of AU Mic b and c from Back-to-Back Transits Observed Contemporaneously with Magellan PFS, LCOGT, and CHEOPS

Zitao Lin, Gyula M. Szabó, Krzysztof Sz. Zieliński +37

Young planets offer a unique window into the early stages of planetary evolution. AU Mic is one of the nearest (9.8 pc) pre-main sequence stars (~20 Myr), hosting two transiting Ne…

Revisiting the ultraviolet spectroscopy of the eta Tel edge-on debris disk

Allison Youngblood, Alexis Brandeker, Sebastian Perez +4

We revisit the ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy of the edge-on debris disk surrounding the A0V star Telescopii. Previous work found absorption components at four velocities…

An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and a Sub-Neptune Orbiting the K dwarf TOI-4311

Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrew Collier Cameron +95

We report the discovery and characterisation of the multi-planetary system around TOI-4311, a K dwarf kinematically between the Galactic thick disk and Hercules stream. TOI-4311 ho…

JWST unveils a high mean molecular weight atmosphere for mini-Neptune TOI-1130b: Evidence for formation beyond the water ice line

Saugata Barat, Tyler Fairnington, Shelby Courreges +21

We present the combined JWST/NIRSpec G395H and NIRISS SOSS transmission spectrum of a warm mini-Neptune, TOI-1130b (3.66 R, 19.8 M, K). It is…

The multi-planet system TOI-5624: Four transiting sub-Neptunes with an outer companion revealed by transit-timing variations

A. Bonfanti, D. Gandolfi, P. Leonardi +96

Following the 2022 alert of a TESS object of interest transiting TOI-5624 (a G7 V star 100 pc away), a CHEOPS campaign in 2023 detected four planetary signals at $P_b\approx3…
