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…
VaTEST III: Validation of 8 Potential Super-Earths from TESS Data
Priyashkumar Mistry, Aniket Prasad, Mousam Maity +29
NASA's all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is specifically engineered to detect exoplanets that transit bright stars. Thus far, TESS has succe…
A hot mini-Neptune and a temperate, highly eccentric sub-Saturn around the bright K-dwarf TOI-2134
F. Rescigno, G. Hébrard, A. Vanderburg +64
We present the characterisation of an inner mini-Neptune in a 9.22920050.0000063 day orbit and an outer mono-transiting sub-Saturn planet in a 95.50 day orbi…
Planetary companions orbiting the M dwarfs GJ 724 and GJ 3988. A CARMENES and IRD collaboration
P. Gorrini, J. Kemmer, S. Dreizler +36
We report the discovery of two exoplanets around the M dwarfs GJ 724 and GJ 3988 using the radial velocity (RV) method. We obtained a total of 153 3.5 m Calar Alto/CARMENES spectra…
A roadmap for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with JWST
TRAPPIST-1 JWST Community Initiative, :, Julien de Wit +80
Ultra-cool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived, and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with JWST. Amongst them, the most prominen…
Transit Timing Variations in the three-planet system: TOI-270
Laurel Kaye, Shreyas Vissapragada, Maximilian N. Gunther +69
We present ground and space-based photometric observations of TOI-270 (L231-32), a system of three transiting planets consisting of one super-Earth and two sub-Neptunes discovered…
Identification of the Top TESS Objects of Interest for Atmospheric Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets with JWST
Benjamin J. Hord, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Thomas Mikal-Evans +142
JWST has ushered in an era of unprecedented ability to characterize exoplanetary atmospheres. While there are over 5,000 confirmed planets, more than 4,000 TESS planet candidates a…
An M dwarf accompanied by a close-in giant orbiter with SPECULOOS
Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Georgina Dransfield, Taiki Kagetani +40
In the last decade, a dozen close-in giant planets have been discovered orbiting stars with spectral types ranging from M0 to M4, a mystery since known formation pathways do not pr…
TESS discovery of a super-Earth orbiting the M dwarf star TOI-1680
M. Ghachoui, A. Soubkiou, R. D. Wells +52
We report the discovery by the TESS mission of a super-Earth on a 4.8-d orbit around an inactive M4.5 dwarf (TOI-1680) validated by ground-based facilities. The host star is locate…
An extended low-density atmosphere around the Jupiter-sized planet WASP-193 b
Khalid Barkaoui, Francisco J. Pozuelos, Coel Hellier +32
Gas giants transiting bright nearby stars provide crucial insights into planetary system formation and evolution mechanisms. Most of these planets exhibit certain average character…
TOI-2084 b and TOI-4184 b: two new sub-Neptunes around M dwarf stars
K. Barkaoui, M. Timmermans, A. Soubkiou +67
We present the discovery and validation of two TESS exoplanets orbiting nearby M dwarfs: TOI-2084b, and TOI-4184b. We characterized the host stars by combining spectra from Shane/K…
A 1.55 R habitable-zone planet hosted by TOI-715, an M4 star near the ecliptic South Pole
Georgina Dransfield, Mathilde Timmermans, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud +48
A new generation of observatories is enabling detailed study of exoplanetary atmospheres and the diversity of alien climates, allowing us to seek evidence for extraterrestrial biol…
Two super-Earths at the edge of the habitable zone of the nearby M dwarf TOI-2095
F. Murgas, A. Castro-González, E. Pallé +41
The main scientific goal of TESS is to find planets smaller than Neptune around stars that are bright enough to allow for further characterization studies. Given our current instru…
A super-Earth and a mini-Neptune near the 2:1 MMR straddling the radius valley around the nearby mid-M dwarf TOI-2096
F. J. Pozuelos, M. Timmermans, B. V. Rackham +72
Several planetary formation models have been proposed to explain the observed abundance and variety of compositions of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. In this context, multitransit…
TOI-3235 b: a transiting giant planet around an M4 dwarf star
Melissa J. Hobson, Andrés Jordán, E. M. Bryant +34
We present the discovery of TOI-3235 b, a short-period Jupiter orbiting an M-dwarf with a stellar mass close to the critical mass at which stars transition from partially to fully…
Activity and composition of the hyperactive comet 46P/Wirtanen during its close approach in 2018
Y. Moulane, E. Jehin, J. Manfroid +10
Hyperactive comets are a small group of comets whose activity are higher than expected. They seem to emit more water than they should based on the size of their nucleus and comet 4…
