Discovery of an Eccentric Hot Super-Jupiter Leaving the Transiting Geometry of the Early-A-type star TOI-1355

Noriharu Watanabe, Norio Narita, Akihiko Fukui +20

Hot Jupiters orbiting hot stars ( K) are suggested to have experienced high-eccentricity migration, often evidenced by the tendency for misaligned orbits, de…

Time-variable Scattered Light in Herbig Disks Observed with Subaru/SCExAO

Camryn Mullin, Miles Lucas, Ruobing Dong +12

Using the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) instrument, we present near-infrared K-band polarimetric imaging of nine Herbig stars selected from a volume-limited…

The mass of TOI-654 b: A short-period sub-Neptune transiting a mid-M dwarf

Kai Ikuta, Norio Narita, Takuya Takarada +40

Sub-Neptunes are small planets between the size of the Earth and Neptune. The orbital and bulk properties of transiting sub-Neptunes can provide clues for their formation and evolu…

Tidally Heated Sub-Neptunes, Refined Planetary Compositions, and Confirmation of a Third Planet in the TOI-1266 System

Michael Greklek-McKeon, Shreyas Vissapragada, Heather A. Knutson +38

TOI-1266 is a benchmark system of two temperate ( 450 K) sub-Neptune-sized planets orbiting a nearby M dwarf exhibiting a rare inverted architecture with a larger interior plane…
