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…
Towards High-Throughput Visible Photonic Lanterns for the EMARCOT Project
Abani Shankar Nayak, Julius Goehring, Marina Centenera-Merino +14
Photonic EMARCOT is an innovative project involving Spanish, German and Australian research institutes that aims to integrate multiple Optical Tube Assemblies (OTAs) using photonic…
Demonstration of a multimode-to-multimode photonic lantern for astronomy
Marina Centenera-Merino, Andrew Ross-Adams, Christopher Betters +14
Photonic lanterns have been widely used in astronomy as low-loss multiplexing devices, typically coupling light from a multimode input into several single-mode outputs. In this wor…
Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…
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…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. A homogeneous catalogue of projected rotational velocities accounting for limb-darkening
R. Varas, G. Morello, M. Zechmeister +18
Stellar rotation is closely linked to both age and magnetic activity. Through gyrochronology, it provides a means to estimate stellar ages and trace the evolution of planetary syst…
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…
Towards a Comprehensive Understanding of Planetary Systems through Population-Level, Large-Scale Surveys
Francisco J. Pozuelos, Pedro J. Amado, Jesús Aceituno +13
Over the past three decades, exoplanet research has delivered an extensive census of planets spanning a wide range of masses, sizes, and orbital configurations. Despite this progre…
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…
