Thermal Eclipse Observation of the Young Hot Neptune AU Mic b with Spitzer

Kevin I. Collins, Peter Plavchan, Zachory Berta-Thompson +11

We present the observation of a secondary eclipse of the young hot Neptune, AU Mic b, in the infrared using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Using a primary transit from Spitzer to con…

Far-ultraviolet flares and variability of the young M dwarf AU Mic: a non-detection of planet c in transit at Lyman-alpha

Keighley E. Rockcliffe, Elisabeth R. Newton, Allison Youngblood +8

Atmospheric escape's potential to shape the exoplanet population motivates detailed observations of systems actively undergoing escape. AU Mic is a young and active M dwarf hosting…

Three-dimensional Orbit and Dynamical Masses of GJ 105 AC

Cayla M. Dedrick, Jason T. Wright, Jason D. Eastman +11

The precision of stellar models is higher than the precision at which we are able to measure the masses of most stars, with the notable exception of binaries where we can determine…

Probing the Outskirts of M Dwarf Planetary Systems with a Cycle 1 JWST NIRCam Coronagraphy Survey

Ellis Bogat, Joshua E. Schlieder, Kellen D. Lawson +18

The population of giant planets on wide orbits around low-mass M dwarf stars is poorly understood, but the unprecedented sensitivity of JWST NIRCam coronagraphic imaging now provid…

The Proxima Centauri Campaign -- First Constraints On Millimeter Flare Rates from ALMA

Kiana Burton, Meredith A. MacGregor, Rachel A. Osten +6

Proxima Centauri (Cen) has been the subject of many flaring studies due to its proximity and potential to host habitable planets. The discovery of millimeter flares from this M dwa…

OrCAS: Origins, Compositions, and Atmospheres of Sub-neptunes. I. Survey Definition

Ian J. M. Crossfield, Alex S. Polanski, Paul Robertson +61

Sub-Neptunes - volatile-rich exoplanets smaller than Neptune - are intrinsically the most common type of planet known. However, the formation and nature of these objects, as well a…
