An extremely low-density exoplanet spins slow

Quanyi Liu, Wei Zhu, Kento Masuda +3

We present constraints on the shape of Kepler-51d, which is a super-puff with a mass and a radius , based on detailed modeling of the transit lig…

Detecting Planetary Oblateness in the Era of JWST: A Case Study of Kepler-167e

Quanyi Liu, Wei Zhu, Yifan Zhou +5

Planets may be rotationally flattened, and their oblateness thus provide useful information on their formation and evolution. Here we develop a new algorithm that can compute the t…

TOI-2015b: A Warm Neptune with Transit Timing Variations Orbiting an Active mid M Dwarf

Sinclaire E. Jones, Gudmundur Stefansson, Kento Masuda +29

We report the discovery of a close-in () warm Neptune with clear transit timing variations (TTVs) orbiting the nearby ($d=47.3\:\mathrm{pc}…

Evidence that the Occurrence Rate of Hot Jupiters around Sun-like Stars Decreases with Stellar Age

Shota Miyazaki, Kento Masuda

We investigate how the occurrence rate of giant planets (minimum mass ) around Sun-like stars depends on the age, mass, and metallicity of their host stars.…

A spectroscopic thermometer: individual vibrational band spectroscopy with the example of OH in the atmosphere of WASP-33b

Sam O. M. Wright, Stevanus K. Nugroho, Matteo Brogi +26

Individual vibrational band spectroscopy presents an opportunity to examine exoplanet atmospheres in detail by distinguishing where the vibrational state populations of molecules d…

TOI-1136 is a Young, Coplanar, Aligned Planetary System in a Pristine Resonant Chain

Fei Dai, Kento Masuda, Corey Beard +60

Convergent disk migration has long been suspected to be responsible for forming planetary systems with a chain of mean-motion resonances (MMR). Dynamical evolution over time could…
