Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA) I.: High precision stellar chemical abundance for 17 planet-hosting stars and the condensation temperature trend
Qinghui Sun, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Tianjun Gan +30
The Sun is depleted in refractory elements compared to nearby solar twins, which may be linked to the formation of giant or terrestrial planets. Here we present high-resolution, hi…
Two Earth-size Planets and an Earth-size Candidate Transiting the Nearby Star HD 101581

A gravitational wave detectable candidate Type Ia supernova progenitor
Emma T. Chickles, Kevin B. Burdge, Joheen Chakraborty +37
Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evide…
The Fate of Oceans on First-Generation Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs
Juliette Becker, Andrew Vanderburg, Joseph Livesey
Several groups have recently suggested that small planets orbiting very closely around white dwarf stars could be promising locations for life to arise, even after stellar death. T…
A giant planet transiting a 3-Myr protostar with a misaligned disk
Madyson G. Barber, Andrew W. Mann, Andrew Vanderburg +35
Astronomers have found more than a dozen planets transiting 10-40 million year old stars, but even younger transiting planets have remained elusive. A possible reason for the lack…
HD 28185 Revisited: An Outer Planet, Instead of a Brown Dwarf, On a Saturn-like Orbit
Alexander Venner, Qier An, Chelsea X. Huang +3
As exoplanet surveys reach ever-higher sensitivities and durations, planets analogous to the solar system giant planets are increasingly within reach. HD 28185 is a Sun-like star k…

TIC 290061484: A Triply Eclipsing Triple System with the Shortest Known Outer Period of 24.5 Days
Veselin B. Kostov, Saul A. Rappaport, Tamas Borkovits +13
We have discovered a triply eclipsing triple-star system, TIC 290061484, with the shortest known outer period, Pout, of only 24.5 days. This "eclipses" the previous record set by l…
A long spin period for a sub-Neptune-mass exoplanet
Ellen M. Price, Juliette Becker, Zoë L. de Beurs +2
HIP 41378 f is a sub-Neptune exoplanet with an anomalously low density. Its long orbital period and deep transit make it an ideal candidate for detecting oblateness photometrically…
The Featherweight Giant: Unraveling the Atmosphere of a 17 Myr Planet with JWST
Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Adina D. Feinstein +29
The characterization of young planets (< 300 Myr) is pivotal for understanding planet formation and evolution. We present the 3-5m transmission spectrum of the 17 Myr, Jupiter-s…
Confirming the Tidal Tails of the Young Open Cluster Blanco 1 with TESS Rotation Periods
Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Luke G. Bouma +1
Blanco 1 is an open cluster located 240 pc from the Sun below the Galactic plane. Recent studies have reported the existence of diffuse tidal tails exte…
The K2 and TESS Synergy III: search and rescue of the lost ephemeris for K2's first planet
Erica Thygesen, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Zoë L. De Beurs +13
K2-2 b/HIP 116454 b, the first exoplanet discovery by K2 during its Two-Wheeled Concept Engineering Test, is a sub-Neptune (2.5 0.1 , 9.7 1.2 ) orbi…
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…
The MIRI Exoplanets Orbiting White Dwarfs (MEOW) Survey: Mid-Infrared Excess Reveals a Giant Planet Candidate around a Nearby White Dwarf
Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew Vanderburg, Alexander Venner +17
The MIRI Exoplanets Orbiting White dwarfs (MEOW) Survey is a cycle 2 JWST program to search for exoplanets around dozens of nearby white dwarfs via infrared excess and direct imagi…
Searching for GEMS: Characterizing Six Giant Planets around Cool Dwarfs
Shubham Kanodia, Arvind F. Gupta, Caleb I. Canas +42
Transiting giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars (GEMS) are rare, owing to the low-mass host stars. However, the all-sky coverage of TESS has enabled the detection of an increasing…
TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VI. Newly Discovered Hot Jupiters Provide Evidence for Efficient Obliquity Damping after the Main Sequence
Nicholas Saunders, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Ashley Chontos +53
The degree of alignment between a star's spin axis and the orbital plane of its planets (the stellar obliquity) is related to interesting and poorly understood processes that occur…
