Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP). III. Twenty-Nine Giant Planets from the TESS Mission

Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +97

We present the discovery and characterization of 29 hot and warm Jupiter systems transiting bright () FGK stars using TESS data and ground-based photometry and spectrosco…

A Larger Sample Confirms Small Planets Around Hot Stars Are Misaligned

Emma M. Louden, Songhu Wang, Joshua N. Winn +7

The distribution of stellar obliquities provides critical insight into the formation and evolution pathways of exoplanets. In the past decade, it was found that hot stars hosting h…

Evidence for Primordial Alignment: Insights from Stellar Obliquity Measurements for Compact Sub-Saturn Systems

Brandon T. Radzom, Jiayin Dong, Malena Rice +5

Despite decades of effort, the mechanisms by which the spin axis of a star and the orbital axes of its planets become misaligned remain elusive. Particularly, it is of great intere…

The PFS view of TOI-677 b: A spin-orbit aligned warm Jupiter in a dynamically hot system

Qingru Hu, Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang +9

TOI-677 b is part of an emerging class of ``tidally-detached'' gas giants () that exhibit large orbital eccentricities and yet low stellar obliquities. Such s…

TOI-1670 c, a 40-day Orbital Period Warm Jupiter in a Compact System, is Well-aligned

Jack Lubin, Xian-Yu Wang, Malena Rice +21

We report the measurement of the sky-projected obliquity angle of the Warm Jovian exoplanet TOI-1670 c via the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect as part of the Stellar Obliquities in…

Evidence for Low-Level Dynamical Excitation in Near-Resonant Exoplanet Systems

Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang +18

The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely…
