TOI-4552 b: A new ultra-short period rocky world revealed by NIRPS and TESS
Avidaan Srivastava, René Doyon, François Bouchy +57
A particularly intriguing subclass of rocky exoplanets are the ultra-short period (USP) worlds that orbit their host stars in less than a day. These planets are particularly rare a…
TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf
F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44
Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…
Hidden Gems in TESS: sherlock finds two new rocky planets around nearby M dwarfs
M. Timmermans, M. Dévora-Pajares, F. J. Pozuelos +25
The Hidden Gems project searches the TESS data for additional planets transiting low-mass stars in confirmed systems. Our goal is to identify planet candidates that are below the d…
Two temperate Earth- and Neptune-sized planets orbiting fully convective M dwarfs
Madison G. Scott, Georgina Dransfield, Mathilde Timmermans +30
As the diversity of exoplanets continues to grow, it is important to revisit assumptions about habitability and classical HZ definitions. In this work, we introduce an expanded 'te…
TOI-7166 b: A Habitable Zone mini-Neptune planet around a nearby low-mass star
Khalid Barkaoui, Francisco J. Pozuelos, Benjamin V. Rackham +41
We present the discovery and validation of TOI-7166b, a 2.01+/-0.05R_Earth planet orbiting a nearby low-mass star. We validated the planet by combining TESS and multi-color high-pr…
MANGOS II: Five new giant planets orbiting low-mass stars
G. Dransfield, M. Timmermans, D. Sebastian +47
Giant planets orbiting low-mass stars on short orbits present a conundrum, as in the most extreme cases their existence cannot be reconciled with current models of core accretion.…
