The Hill sphere transits of Beta Pictoris c and the search for another 1981-like event

V. E. C. Bakker, M. A. Kenworthy, R. Stuik +17

Beta Pictoris is a young and nearby planetary system hosting an edge-on debris disk and at least three gas-giant planets. Their circumplanetary environments could host exomoons and…

The Pictoris b Hill sphere transit campaign. Paper II: Searching for the signatures of the Pictoris exoplanets through time delay analysis of the Scuti pulsations

Sebastian Zieba, Konstanze Zwintz, Matthew Kenworthy +34

The Pictoris system is the closest known stellar system with directly detected gas giant planets, an edge-on circumstellar disc, and evidence of falling sublimating bodies and…

TOI-199 b: A well-characterized 100-day transiting warm giant planet with TTVs seen from Antarctica

Melissa J. Hobson, Trifon Trifonov, Thomas Henning +49

We present the spectroscopic confirmation and precise mass measurement of the warm giant planet TOI-199 b. This planet was first identified in TESS photometry and confirmed using g…

HIP 33609 b: An Eccentric Brown Dwarf Transiting a V=7.3 Rapidly Rotating B-Star

Noah Vowell, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn +41

We present the discovery and characterization of HIP 33609 b, a transiting warm brown dwarf orbiting a late B star, discovered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite TESS…

TOI-836: A super-Earth and mini-Neptune transiting a nearby K-dwarf

Faith Hawthorn, Daniel Bayliss, Thomas G. Wilson +137

We present the discovery of two exoplanets transiting TOI-836 (TIC 440887364) using data from TESS Sector 11 and Sector 38. TOI-836 is a bright ( mag), high proper motion…

Towards coordinated site monitoring and common strategies for mitigation of Radio Frequency Interference at the Italian radio telescopes

Alessandra Zanichelli, Giampaolo Serra, Karl-Heinz Mack +22

We present a project to implement a national common strategy for the mitigation of the steadily deteriorating Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) situation at the Italian radio tele…

HD 28109 hosts a trio of transiting Neptunian planets including a near-resonant pair, confirmed by ASTEP from Antarctica

Georgina Dransfield, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Tristan Guillot +28

We report on the discovery and characterisation of three planets orbiting the F8 star HD~28109, which sits comfortably in \tess's continuous viewing zone. The two outer planets hav…

A Possible Alignment Between the Orbits of Planetary Systems and their Visual Binary Companions

Sam Christian, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker +111

Astronomers do not have a complete picture of the effects of wide-binary companions (semimajor axes greater than 100 AU) on the formation and evolution of exoplanets. We investigat…

A pair of Sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 characterised with CHEOPS

Thomas G. Wilson, Elisa Goffo, Yann Alibert +132

We report the discovery and characterisation of a pair of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 (TIC 79748331), initially detected in TESS photometry. To characterise…

TOI-712: a system of adolescent mini-Neptunes extending to the habitable zone

Sydney Vach, Samuel N. Quinn, Andrew Vanderburg +40

As an all-sky survey, NASA's mission is able to detect the brightest and rarest types of transiting planetary systems, including young planets that enable study of the evolu…

The Pictoris b Hill sphere transit campaign. Paper I: Photometric limits to dust and rings

M. A. Kenworthy, S. N. Mellon, J. I. Bailey +33

Photometric monitoring of Beta Pictoris in 1981 showed anomalous fluctuations of up to 4% over several days, consistent with foreground material transiting the stellar disk. The su…

Single-dish and VLBI observations of Cygnus X-3 during the 2016 giant flare episode

E. Egron, A. Pellizzoni, M. Giroletti +34

In September 2016, the microquasar Cygnus X-3 underwent a giant radio flare, which was monitored for 6 days with the Medicina Radio Astronomical Station and the Sardinia Radio Tele…

Imaging of SNR IC443 and W44 with the Sardinia Radio Telescope at 1.5 GHz and 7 GHz

E. Egron, A. Pellizzoni, M. N. Iacolina +33

Observations of supernova remnants (SNRs) are a powerful tool for investigating the later stages of stellar evolution, the properties of the ambient interstellar medium, and the ph…
