TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XI: An Earth-sized Planet Orbiting a Nearby, Solar-like Host in the 400Myr Ursa Major Moving Group

Benjamin K. Capistrant, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew Vanderburg +32

Young terrestrial worlds are critical test beds to constrain prevailing theories of planetary formation and evolution. We present the discovery of HD 63433d - a nearby (22pc), Eart…

Potential Melting of Extrasolar Planets by Tidal Dissipation

Darryl Z. Seligman, Adina D. Feinstein, Dong Lai +6

Tidal heating on Io due to its finite eccentricity was predicted to drive surface volcanic activity, which was subsequently confirmed by the spacecrafts. Althoug…

TOI-4010: A System of Three Large Short-Period Planets With a Massive Long-Period Companion

Michelle Kunimoto, Andrew Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +53

We report the confirmation of three exoplanets transiting TOI-4010 (TIC-352682207), a metal-rich K dwarf observed by TESS in Sectors 24, 25, 52, and 58. We confirm these planets wi…

The Origin of Universality in the Inner Edges of Planetary Systems

Konstantin Batygin, Fred C. Adams, Juliette Becker

The characteristic orbital period of the inner-most objects within the galactic census of planetary and satellite systems appears to be nearly universal, with on the order of a…

TTV Constraints on Additional Planets in the WD 1856+534 system

Sarah Kubiak, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker +4

WD 1856+534 b (or WD 1856 b for short) is the first known transiting planet candidate around a white dwarf star. WD 1856 b is about the size of Jupiter, has a mass less than about…

The Influence of Tidal Heating on the Habitability of Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs

Juliette Becker, Darryl Z. Seligman, Fred C. Adams +1

In recent years, there have been a growing number of observations indicating the presence of rocky material in short-period orbits around white dwarfs. In this Letter, we revisit t…
