TOI-132 b: A short-period planet in the Neptune desert transiting a G-type star
Matías R. Díaz, James S. Jenkins, Davide Gandolfi +45
The Neptune desert is a feature seen in the radius-mass-period plane, whereby a notable dearth of short period, Neptune-like planets is found. Here we report the {\it TESS} discove…
The Feasibility of Directly Imaging Nearby Cold Jovian Planets with MIRI/JWST
Jonathan Brande, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder +2
The upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will dramatically increase our understanding of exoplanets, particularly through direct imaging. Microlensing and radia…
The Featureless Transmission Spectra of Two Super-Puff Planets
Jessica E. Libby-Roberts, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson, Jean-Michel Desert +9
The Kepler mission revealed a class of planets known as ''super-puffs,'' with masses only a few times larger than Earth's but radii larger than Neptune, giving them very low mean d…
The impact of stripped cores on the frequency of Earth-size planets in the habitable zone
I. Pascucci, G. Mulders, E. Lopez
The frequency of Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of Sun-like stars, hereafter , is a key parameter to evaluate the yield of nearby Earth analogues that can be de…
A high binary fraction for the most massive close-in giant planets and brown dwarf desert members
C. Fontanive, K. Rice, M. Bonavita +3
Stellar multiplicity is believed to influence planetary formation and evolution, although the precise nature and extent of this role remain ambiguous. We present a study aimed at t…
Understanding Exoplanet Atmospheres with UV Observations II: The Far UV and Atmospheric Escape
Eric D. Lopez, Vladimir Airapetian, Jessie Christiansen +2
Much of the focus of exoplanet atmosphere analysis in the coming decade will be at infrared wavelengths, with the planned launches of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the…
Imaging Cool Giant Planets in Reflected Light: Science Investigations and Synergy with Habitable Planets
Mark Marley, Nikole Lewis, Giada Arney +38
Planned astronomical observatories of the 2020s will be capable of obtaining reflected light photometry and spectroscopy of cool extrasolar giant planets. Here we explain that such…
Ground-Based Radial Velocity as Critical Support for Future NASA Earth-Finding Missions
Courtney D. Dressing, Christopher C. Stark, Peter Plavchan +1
Future space-based direct imaging missions are poised to search for biosignatures in the atmospheres of potentially habitable planets orbiting nearby AFGKM stars. Although these mi…
Understanding Exoplanet Atmospheres with UV Observations I: NUV and Blue/Optical
Jessie L. Christiansen, Thomas Barclay, Luca Fossati +6
Much of the focus of exoplanet atmosphere analysis in the coming decade will be atinfrared wavelengths, with the planned launches of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the W…
A giant impact as the likely origin of different twins in the Kepler-107 exoplanet system
Aldo S. Bonomo, Li Zeng, Mario Damasso +49
Measures of exoplanet bulk densities indicate that small exoplanets with radius less than 3 Earth radii () range from low-density sub-Neptunes containing volatile element…
Masses and radii for the three super-Earths orbiting GJ 9827, and implications for the composition of small exoplanets
K. Rice, L. Malavolta, A. Mayo +34
Super-Earths belong to a class of planet not found in the Solar System, but which appear common in the Galaxy. Given that some super-Earths are rocky, while others retain substanti…
