The Solirad (So) as a Convenient Unit for Quoting Astronomical Irradiances for Planetary Insolations and Exoplanetary Instellations
Eric E. Mamajek, Jason T. Wright, Noah W. Tuchow +3
Measurements of physical parameters for stars and (exo)planets are often quoted in units normalized to the Sun and/or Earth. The nominal total solar irradiance, ${S}^{\rm N}_{\odot…
From Earths to Super-Earths: Five New Small Planets Transiting M Dwarf Stars
Jonathan Gomez Barrientos, Heather A. Knutson, Morgan Saidel +39
Earth-sized planets transiting M dwarf stars present one of the best opportunities with current facilities for studying the atmospheric and bulk compositions of terrestrial worlds.…
THYME XIII: Two young Neptunes orbiting a 75-Myr star in the Alpha Persei Cluster
Anne Dattilo, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Madyson G. Barber +28
Young planets with mass measurements are particularly valuable in studying atmospheric mass-loss processes, but these planets are rare and their masses difficult to measure due to…
Validation of TESS Planet Candidates with Multi-Color Transit Photometry and TRICERATOPS+
Jonathan Gomez Barrientos, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Heather A. Knutson +33
We present an upgraded version of TRICERATOPS, a software package designed to calculate false positive probabilities for planet candidates identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Su…
The Pandora SmallSat: A Low-Cost, High Impact Mission to Study Exoplanets and Their Host Stars
Thomas Barclay, Elisa V. Quintana, Knicole Colón +19
The Pandora SmallSat is a NASA flight project aimed at studying the atmospheres of exoplanets -- planets orbiting stars outside our Solar System. Pandora will provide the first dat…
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…
