A close outer companion to the ultra-hot Jupiter TOI-2109 b?
J. -V. Harre, A. M. S. Smith, S. C. C. Barros +86
Hot Jupiters with close-by planetary companions are rare, with only a handful of them having been discovered so far. This could be due to their suggested dynamical histories, leadi…

The increased brightness temperature of young rocky protoplanets during their magma ocean epoch makes them potentially amenable to atmospheric characterization to distances from th…
The CHEOPS view on the climate of WASP-3 b
G. Scandariato, L. Carone, P. E. Cubillos +83
Hot Jupiters are giant planets subject to intense stellar radiation. The physical and chemical properties of their atmosphere makes them the most amenable targets for the atmospher…
The K2-24 planetary system revisited by CHEOPS
V. Nascimbeni, L. Borsato, P. Leonardi +82
K2-24 is a planetary system composed of two transiting low-density Neptunians locked in an almost perfect 2:1 resonance and showing large TTVs, i.e., an excellent laboratory to sea…
Validation of up to seven TESS planet candidates through multi-colour transit photometry using MuSCAT2 data
A. Peláez-Torres, E. Esparza-Borges, E. Pallé +62
The TESS mission searches for transiting exoplanets by monitoring the brightness of hundreds of thousands of stars across the entire sky. M-type planet hosts are ideal targets for…
TOI-2458 b: A mini-Neptune consistent with in situ hot Jupiter formation
Ján Šubjak, Davide Gandolfi, Elisa Goffo +33
We report on the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of TOI-2458 b, a transiting mini-Neptune around an F-type star leaving the main-sequence with a mass of $M_\star=1.05 \pm…
Tidally Heated Sub-Neptunes, Refined Planetary Compositions, and Confirmation of a Third Planet in the TOI-1266 System

TOI-1266 is a benchmark system of two temperate ( 450 K) sub-Neptune-sized planets orbiting a nearby M dwarf exhibiting a rare inverted architecture with a larger interior plane…
Mass determination of two Jupiter-sized planets orbiting slightly evolved stars: TOI-2420 b and TOI-2485 b
Ilaria Carleo, Oscar Barrágan, Carina M. Persson +67
Hot and warm Jupiters might have undergone the same formation and evolution path, but the two populations exhibit different distributions of orbital parameters, challenging our und…
