Radial velocity follow-up of \textit{Gaia} astrometric substellar companions: six confirmed brown dwarfs and 13 impostor binaries

Marcus L. Marcussen, Simon H. Albrecht, Kamil K. Kalinowski +7

With microarcsecond precision, \textit{Gaia} has made the astrometric discovery of substellar companions feasible. However, follow-up observations are needed to check on orbital so…

The Herculis system solved after nearly three centuries

Marcus L. Marcussen, Mikkel N. Lund, Frank Grundahl +11

Herculis is a bright, nearby quadruple system. Its brightest member, Her Aa, displays solar-like oscillations, establishing the system as a crucial benchmark for asteroseis…

TOI-1333Ab is on a well-aligned orbit. An aligned hot Jupiter around an F-type star with a mutually inclined stellar companion

E. Knudstrup, M. L. Marcussen, S. H. Albrecht +2

Spin-orbit obliquity measurements of hot-Jupiter systems constrain giant planet migration and tidal evolution. In binary systems, combining stellar obliquities with the orbit-orbit…

Gaia-4b and 5b: Radial Velocity Confirmation of Gaia Astrometric Orbital Solutions Reveal a Massive Planet and a Brown Dwarf Orbiting Low-mass Stars

Gudmundur Stefansson, Suvrath Mahadevan, Joshua Winn +31

Gaia astrometry of nearby stars is precise enough to detect the tiny displacements induced by substellar companions, but radial velocity data are needed for definitive confirmation…

Obliquities of Exoplanet Host Stars: 19 New and Updated Measurements, and Trends in the Sample of 205 Measurements

Emil Knudstrup, Simon H. Albrecht, Joshua N. Winn +17

Measurements of the obliquities in exoplanet systems have revealed some remarkable architectures, some of which are very different from the Solar System. Nearly 200 obliquity measu…

The BANANA Project. VII. High Eccentricity Predicts Spin-Orbit Misalignment in Binaries

Marcus L. Marcussen, Simon H. Albrecht, Joshua N. Winn +3

The degree of spin-orbit alignment in a population of binary stars can be determined from measurements of their orbital inclinations and rotational broadening of their spectral lin…

Astrometry and Precise Radial Velocities Yield a Complete Orbital Solution for the Nearby Eccentric Brown Dwarf LHS 1610 b

Evan Fitzmaurice, Gudmundur Stefánsson, Robert D. Kavanagh +18

The LHS 1610 system consists of a nearby ( pc) M5 dwarf hosting a candidate brown dwarf companion in a day, eccentric () orbit. We confirm this brown dwa…

Spectroscopic follow-up of Gaia exoplanet candidates: Impostor binary stars invade the Gaia DR3 astrometric exoplanet candidates

Marcus L. Marcussen, Simon H. Albrecht

In this paper we report on the follow-up of five potential exoplanets detected with Gaia astrometry and provide an overview of what is currently known about the nature of the entir…

The low density, hot Jupiter TOI-640 b is on a polar orbit

Emil Knudstrup, Simon H. Albrecht, Davide Gandolfi +17

TOI-640 b is a hot, puffy Jupiter with a mass of M and radius of R, orbiting a slightly evolved F-type star with a separation of…

THE BANANA PROJECT. VI. Close double stars are well aligned with noticeable exceptions; results from an ensemble study using apsidal motion and Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements

Marcus L. Marcussen, Simon H. Albrecht

Here we present an ensemble study of spin-orbit alignment in 51 close double star systems. We determine spin-orbit angles, obliquities, in 39 of these systems making use of recentl…

A Preponderance of Perpendicular Planets

Simon H. Albrecht, Marcus L. Marcussen, Joshua N. Winn +2

Observing the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect during a planetary transit allows the determination of the angle between the sky projections of the star's spin axis and the planet's o…

Modelling systematics of ground-based transit photometry I. Implications on transit timing variations

C. von Essen, S. Cellone, M. Mallonn +2

The transit timing variation technique (TTV) has been widely used to detect and characterize multiple planetary systems. Due to the observational biases imposed mainly by the photo…
