Atmospheric Signatures of Common Envelope Evolution in White Dwarf Planets

Sydney Jenkins, Andrew Vanderburg, James Mang +4

The majority of confirmed exoplanets orbit within 1 au of a main-sequence (MS) star. When their stellar hosts evolve off the MS, many of these planets will be engulfed and destroye…

A Search for Wide-orbit Planets Around M-dwarfs using Deep MIRI 15-micron Images

Yihan Li, Yifan Zhou, Rachel Bowens-Rubin +7

Wide-orbit (10 AU) gas giant planets shape the architecture of planetary systems, yet their occurrence rate remains poorly constrained. JWST has obtained the deepest mid-infrare…

Lithium Enrichment in a Subgiant Star with a Brown Dwarf Companion: A Planetary Engulfment Candidate

Brooke Kotten, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Ricardo Yarza +11

Theoretical models predict that subgiants within a narrow mass regime can retain detectable lithium enrichment signatures from planetary engulfment. We test this prediction using T…

The JWST Search for Earth-Luna Analogs: Upper Limits on Exomoons and Refined Ephemerides for TOI 700 d and e

Emily K. Pass, David Charbonneau, Andrew Vanderburg +1

While no conclusive detections of exomoons have been reported to date, planet formation theories predict that Luna-analog satellites should be a common outcome of the collisional d…

A Planetary Illusion's Funeral: Non-detection of a Gaia DR3 Exoplanet Candidate, and the Role of Intermediate-precision Radial Velocities in Gaia Exoplanet Follow-up

Alexander Venner, Chelsea X. Huang, David W. Latham +4

The detection of exoplanets using astrometry has long been an area of interest, but is fraught with challenges. The Gaia mission is fundamentally reshaping this field thanks to its…

Stars stably accreting from substellar objects

Aaron Householder, Kaitlyn Shin, Kevin B. Burdge +11

Substellar objects such as brown dwarfs and planets are generally expected to remain detached from their main-sequence host stars unless orbital decay or stellar expansion brings t…

Constraining Small Planet Compositions for Future Missions

Larissa Palethorpe, Annelies Mortier, Jo Ann Egger +14

Accurate mass and radius measurements of small transiting exoplanets are essential for probing their compositions, formation histories, and potential habitability. We present a uni…
