Detection of four cold Jupiters through combined analyses of radial velocity and astrometry data
Yiyun Wu, Guang-Yao Xiao, R. Paul Butler +19
Cold Jupiters play a crucial role in planet formation and dynamical evolution. Since their initial discovery around 47 UMa, they have attracted significant interest, yet their form…
Identifying rocky planets and water worlds among sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Renyu Hu, Michiel Min, Max Millar-Blanchaer +15
Astronomers are debating whether the plentiful "sub-Neptune" exoplanets -- worlds a bit larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune -- are predominantly rocky planets, water-rich "o…
A second low-mass planet orbiting the nearby M-dwarf GJ 536
A. Suárez Mascareño, C. del Burgo, J. -B. Delisle +7
GJ 536 is a low-mass star, located 10 pc away from the Sun, that hosts a low-mass planet orbiting with a period of 8.71 days. Based on an analysis of the radial velocity (RV) time…
Two Earth-size Planets and an Earth-size Candidate Transiting the Nearby Star HD 101581
Michelle Kunimoto, Zifan Lin, Sarah Millholland +43
We report the validation of multiple planets transiting the nearby ( pc) K5V dwarf HD 101581 (GJ 435, TOI-6276, TIC 397362481). The system consists of at least two Earth-…
