TOI-3862 b: A dense super-Neptune deep in the hot Neptune desert

Ilaria Carleo, Amadeo Castro-González, Enric Pallé +61

The structure and evolution of close-in exoplanets are shaped by atmospheric loss and migration processes, which give rise to key population features such as the hot Neptune desert…

Paving the Road to the Habitable Worlds Observatory with High-Resolution Imaging I: New and Archival Speckle Observations of Potential HWO Target Stars

Zachary D. Hartman, Catherine A. Clark, Michael B. Lund +15

One of the key goals of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to directly image about 25 potentially habitable exoplanets and determine their properties. This challenge will re…

Precise mass and radius determination for two new and one known Neptune-sized planets around G Dwarf hosts

Ilaria Carleo, Grzegorz Nowak, Felipe Murgas +56

As part of the KESPRINT collaboration, we present the discovery and characterization of three exoplanets in the sub-Neptune to super-Neptune regime, spanning key regions of the exo…

TOI-1438: A rare system with two short-period sub-Neptunes and a tentative long-period Jupiter-like planet orbiting a K0V star

Carina M. Persson, Emil Knudstrup, Ilaria Carleo +44

We present the detection and characterisation of the TOI-1438 multi-planet system discovered by TESS. We collected a series of follow-up observations including high-spectral resolu…

The Probable Direct-Imaging Detection of the Stellar Companion to Betelgeuse

Steve B. Howell, David R. Ciardi, Catherine A. Clark +3

Betelgeuse -- the closest M-supergiant to the Sun -- has recently been predicted to host a lower-mass stellar companion that orbits the primary with a period of years. The…

The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. III. Thirty More Giant Planets

Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +123

We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…
