COUNTESS I: A Uniformly Vetted Catalog of Known and New Transiting Exoplanets in the TESS Northern Continuous Viewing Zone
Andrew Hotnisky, Rachel B. Fernandes, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +9
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has transformed the study of nearby exoplanetary systems; however, its nominal observing strategy limits sensitivity to planets wit…
Are We There Yet? Challenges in Quantifying the Frequency of Earth Analogs in the Habitable Zone
Rachel B. Fernandes, Samson Johnson, Galen J. Bergsten +43
Searching for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most highly prioritized pursuits in astronomy today. However, the ability to observe evidence of Earth-like life through…
Why Estimating is Difficult: A Kepler-Centric Perspective
Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ruslan Belikov +13
, the occurrence rate of rocky habitable zone exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars, is of great interest to both the astronomical community and the general public. The Ke…
Searching for GEMS: The Occurrence of Giant Planets orbiting M-dwarfs within 100 pc
Rowen I. Glusman, Caleb I. Cañas, Shubham Kanodia +30
We present results from a systematic search for transiting short-period Giant Exoplanets around M-dwarf Stars (GEMS; days, ) within a distance-limi…
LHS 475 b: A Venus-sized Planet Orbiting a Nearby M Dwarf
Kristo Ment, David Charbonneau, Jonathan Irwin +10
Based on photometric observations by TESS, we present the discovery of a Venus-sized planet transiting LHS 475, an M3 dwarf located 12.5 pc from the Sun. The mass of the star is $0…
The Occurrence Rate of Terrestrial Planets Orbiting Nearby Mid-to-late M Dwarfs from TESS Sectors 1-42
Kristo Ment, David Charbonneau
We present an analysis of a volume-complete sample of 363 mid-to-late M dwarfs within 15 pc of the Sun with masses between 0.1 and 0.3 M observed by TESS within Observation…
