QLP Data Release Notes 004: TESS-Gaia Light Curve Photometry Implementation
Glen Petitpas, Jack Haviland, Te Han +7
The Quick-Look Pipeline (QLP; Huang et al. 2020, Kunimoto et al. 2021 and references therein) generates light curves for up to 2 million stars every 27.4 days observed by TESS as p…
An Ancient Brown Dwarf Transiting a Metal-Poor Thick Disk Star
Jéa Adams Redai, Vedant Chandra, Samuel W. Yee +20
We report the discovery of TOI-7019b, the first transiting brown dwarf (BD) known to orbit a star that is part of the Milky Way's ancient thick disk, as defined chemically ([Fe/H]…
A transiting multi-planet system in the 61 million year old association Theia 116
Sydney Vach, George Zhou, Chelsea X. Huang +28
Observing and characterizing young planetary systems can aid in unveiling the evolutionary mechanisms that sculpt the mature exoplanet population. As an all-sky survey, NASA's Tran…
A Disintegrating Rocky Planet with Prominent Comet-like Tails Around a Bright Star
Marc Hon, Saul Rappaport, Avi Shporer +21
We report the discovery of BD+054868Ab, a transiting exoplanet orbiting a bright () K-dwarf (TIC 466376085) with a period of 1.27 days. Observations from NASA's Tr…
Validation of a Third Planet in the LHS 1678 System
Michele L. Silverstein, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder +24
The nearby LHS 1678 (TOI-696) system contains two confirmed planets and a wide-orbit, likely-brown-dwarf companion, which orbit an M2 dwarf with a unique evolutionary history. The…
TOI-4336 A b: A temperate sub-Neptune ripe for atmospheric characterization in a nearby triple M-dwarf system
M. Timmermans, G. Dransfield, M. Gillon +54
Small planets transiting bright nearby stars are essential to our understanding of the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. However, few constitute prime targets for at…
