Rapid contraction of giant planets orbiting the 20 million-years old star V1298 Tau

A. Suárez Mascareño, M. Damasso, N. Lodieu +41

Current theories of planetary evolution predict that infant giant planets have large radii and very low densities before they slowly contract to reach their final size after about…

Is the orbit of the exoplanet WASP-43b really decaying? TESS and MuSCAT2 observations confirm no detection

Z. Garai, T. Pribulla, H. Parviainen +24

Up to now, WASP-12b is the only hot Jupiter confirmed to have a decaying orbit. The case of WASP-43b is still under debate. Recent studies preferred or ruled out the orbital decay…

Evidence for stellar contamination in the transmission spectra of HAT-P-12b

C. Jiang, G. Chen, E. Palle +4

Transmission spectroscopy characterizes the wavelength dependence of transit depth, revealing atmospheric absorption features in planetary terminator regions. In this context, diff…

Spi-OPS: Spitzer and CHEOPS confirm the near-polar orbit of MASCARA-1 b and reveal a hint of dayside reflection

M. J. Hooton, S. Hoyer, D. Kitzmann +82

The light curves of tidally locked hot Jupiters transiting fast-rotating, early-type stars are a rich source of information about both the planet and star, with full-phase coverage…

TOI-1749: an M dwarf with a Trio of Planets including a Near-Resonant Pair

A. Fukui, J. Korth, J. H. Livingston +65

We report the discovery of one super-Earth- (TOI-1749b) and two sub-Neptune-sized planets (TOI-1749c and TOI-1749d) transiting an early M dwarf at a distance of 100~pc, which were…

The obliquity and atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter TOI-1431b (MASCARA-5b): A misaligned orbit and no signs of atomic ormolecular absorptions

M. Stangret, E. Pallé, N. Casasayas-Barris +21

Ultra-hot Jupiters are defined as giant planets with equilibrium temperatures larger than 2000 K. Most of them are found orbiting bright A-F type stars, making them extremely suita…

Simultaneous photometric and CARMENES spectroscopic monitoring of fast-rotating M dwarf GJ 3270. Discovery of a post-flare corotating feature

E. N. Johnson, S. Czesla, B. Fuhrmeister +33

Context: Active M dwarfs frequently exhibit large flares, which can pose an existential threat to the habitability of any planet in orbit in addition to making said planets more di…

TOI-1634 b: an Ultra-Short Period Keystone Planet Sitting Inside the M Dwarf Radius Valley

R. Cloutier, D. Charbonneau, K. G. Stassun +63

Studies of close-in planets orbiting M dwarfs have suggested that the M dwarf radius valley may be well-explained by distinct formation timescales between enveloped terrestrials, a…
