Systematic Uncertainties in Rocky Exoplanet Reflected Light from Incomplete Laboratory BRDF Measurements

Leonardos Gkouvelis, Michael K. Shepard, Paul Helfenstein +2

The first observations of short-period rocky exoplanets have initiated the era of terrestrial exoplanet characterization. The interpretation of these observations relies on forward…

TOI-6981 b: a transiting sub-Neptune at the water ice line

Madison G. Scott, Amaury H. M. J Triaud, Emily K. Pass +42

We present TOI-6981 b, a cold (Teq= 175^{+6}_{-5} K, assuming an Earth-like albedo) sub-Neptune (Rb=2.51+/-0.11 R_oplus) orbiting on a 60.8 day orbit around around its M4-type host…

Helium-poor winds do not require helium-poor planets

Leonardos Gkouvelis, Francisco J. Pozuelos

Observations of the metastable He,{\sc i},10830,Å triplet have revealed escaping exoplanet atmospheres whose inferred helium abundances range from nearly nebular compositions to st…

A gem system with a lava world and a habitable zone sub-Neptune orbiting TOI-1752

A. Peláez-Torres, F. J. Pozuelos, G. Morello +47

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has delivered a large number of transiting planet candidates around nearby stars by identifying periodic decreases in stellar brigh…

Predictions of Stellar Occultations by Haumea and the Event of 4 May 2026

José Luis Ortiz, Nicolas Morales, Antonio Ocaña-Pastor +8

Haumea is the third-largest of the five officially recognized dwarf planets and one of the four that reside in the trans-Neptunian region. It is among the most exotic bodies in the…

TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf

F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44

Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…

TOI-1080 b: a temperate, rocky planet orbiting a quiet M4V host

Y. Gómez Maqueo Chew, G. Dransfield, K. Barkaoui +41

We present the detection and validation of a small, temperate transiting exoplanet orbiting TOI-1080 every 3.9652482 days. The host is a quiet M4V star…

Hidden Gems in TESS: sherlock finds two new rocky planets around nearby M dwarfs

M. Timmermans, M. Dévora-Pajares, F. J. Pozuelos +25

The Hidden Gems project searches the TESS data for additional planets transiting low-mass stars in confirmed systems. Our goal is to identify planet candidates that are below the d…

Two temperate Earth- and Neptune-sized planets orbiting fully convective M dwarfs

Madison G. Scott, Georgina Dransfield, Mathilde Timmermans +30

As the diversity of exoplanets continues to grow, it is important to revisit assumptions about habitability and classical HZ definitions. In this work, we introduce an expanded 'te…
