An Ultra-Hot Neptune in the Neptune desert
James S. Jenkins, Matías R. Díaz, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +81
About one out of 200 Sun-like stars has a planet with an orbital period shorter than one day: an ultra-short-period planet (Sanchis-ojeda et al. 2014; Winn et al. 2018). All of the…
TOI-824 b: A New Planet on the Lower Edge of the Hot Neptune Desert
Jennifer A. Burt, Louise D. Nielsen, Samuel N. Quinn +54
We report the detection of a transiting hot Neptune exoplanet orbiting TOI-824 (SCR J1448-5735), a nearby (d = 64 pc) K4V star, using data from the \textit{Transiting Exoplanet Sur…
TOI-1235 b: a keystone super-Earth for testing radius valley emergence models around early M dwarfs
Ryan Cloutier, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Jonathan Irwin +85
Small planets on close-in orbits tend to exhibit envelope mass fractions of either effectively zero or up to a few percent depending on their size and orbital period. Models of the…
An Unusual Transmission Spectrum for the Sub-Saturn KELT-11b Suggestive of a Sub-Solar Water Abundance
Knicole D. Colón, Laura Kreidberg, Luis Welbanks +30
We present an optical-to-infrared transmission spectrum of the inflated sub-Saturn KELT-11b measured with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the Hubble Space Telesco…
Toward Complete Characterization: Prospects for Directly Imaging Transiting Exoplanets
Christopher C. Stark, Courtney Dressing, Shannon Dulz +4
High contrast direct imaging of exoplanets can provide many important observables, including measurements of the orbit, spectra that probe the lower layers of the atmosphere, and p…
Re-inflation of warm and hot Jupiters
Thaddeus D. Komacek, Daniel P. Thorngren, Eric D. Lopez +1
Understanding the anomalous radii of many transiting hot gas giant planets is a fundamental problem of planetary science. Recent detections of re-inflated warm Jupiters orbiting po…
A pair of TESS planets spanning the radius valley around the nearby mid-M dwarf LTT 3780
Ryan Cloutier, Jason D. Eastman, Joseph E. Rodriguez +84
We present the confirmation of two new planets transiting the nearby mid-M dwarf LTT 3780 (TIC 36724087, TOI-732, , , =0.374 R, =0.401 M$_{\…
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Final Report
B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Bertrand Mennesson +183
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory, or HabEx, has been designed to be the Great Observatory of the 2030s. For the first time in human history, technologies have matured sufficient…
The First Habitable Zone Earth-sized Planet from TESS. III: Climate States and Characterization Prospects for TOI-700 d
Gabrielle Suissa, Eric T. Wolf, Ravi kumar Kopparapu +11
We present self-consistent three-dimensional climate simulations of possible habitable states for the newly discovered Habitable Zone Earth-sized planet, TOI-700 d. We explore a va…
The First Habitable Zone Earth-Sized Planet From TESS II: Confirms TOI-700 d
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Andrew Vanderburg, Sebastian Zieba +43
We present 4.5m observations of the transit of TOI-700 d, a habitable zone Earth-sized planet in a multiplanet system transiting a nearby M-dwarf star (TIC 150428135,…
The First Habitable Zone Earth-sized Planet from TESS. I: Validation of the TOI-700 System
Emily A. Gilbert, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder +92
We present the discovery and validation of a three-planet system orbiting the nearby (31.1 pc) M2 dwarf star TOI-700 (TIC 150428135). TOI-700 lies in the TESS continuous viewing zo…
