Validating AU Microscopii d with Transit Timing Variations
Justin M. Wittrock, Peter Plavchan, Bryson L. Cale +31
AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess TTVs that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity. We present th…
A close-in puffy Neptune with hidden friends: The enigma of TOI 620
Michael A. Reefe, Rafael Luque, Eric Gaidos +82
We present the validation of a transiting low-density exoplanet orbiting the M2.5 dwarf TOI 620 discovered by the NASA TESS mission. We utilize photometric data from both TESS and…
Transit timing variations of AU Microscopii b and c
Gy. M. Szabó, Z. Garai, A. Brandeker +76
Here we report large-amplitude transit timing variations (TTVs) for AU\,Microcopii b and c as detected in combined TESS (2018, 2020) and CHEOPS (2020, 2021) transit observations. A…
TOI 560 : Two Transiting Planets Orbiting a K Dwarf Validated with iSHELL, PFS and HIRES RVs
Mohammed El Mufti, Peter P. Plavchan, Howard Isaacson +92
We validate the presence of a two-planet system orbiting the 0.15--1.4 Gyr K4 dwarf TOI 560 (HD 73583). The system consists of an inner moderately eccentric transiting mini-Neptune…
Diving Beneath the Sea of Stellar Activity: Chromatic Radial Velocities of the Young AU Mic Planetary System
Bryson Cale, Michael Reefe, Peter Plavchan +52
We present updated radial-velocity (RV) analyses of the AU Mic system. AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) early M dwarf known to host two transiting planets - days, $R_{b}=…
TOI-431/HIP 26013: a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune transiting a bright, early K dwarf, with a third RV planet
Ares Osborn, David J. Armstrong, Bryson Cale +125
We present the bright (V), multi-planet system TOI-431, characterised with photometry and radial velocities. We estimate the stellar rotation period to be $30.5 \pm…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs -- LP 714-47b (TOI 442.01): Populating the Neptune desert
S. Dreizler, I., J. +134
We report the discovery of a Neptune-like planet (LP 714-47 b, P = 4.05204 d, m_b = 30.8 +/- 1.5 M_earth , R_b = 4.7 +/- 0.3 R_earth ) located in the 'hot Neptune desert'. Confirma…
A planet within the debris disk around the pre-main-sequence star AU Microscopii
Peter Plavchan, Thomas Barclay, Jonathan Gagné +84
AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is the second closest pre main sequence star, at a distance of 9.79 parsecs and with an age of 22 million years. AU Mic possesses a relatively rare and spat…
First radial velocity results from the MINiature Exoplanet Radial Velocity Array (MINERVA)
Maurice L. Wilson, Jason D. Eastman, Matthew A. Cornachione +52
The MINiature Exoplanet Radial Velocity Array (MINERVA) is a dedicated observatory of four 0.7m robotic telescopes fiber-fed to a KiwiSpec spectrograph. The MINERVA mission is to d…
Precise Near-Infrared Radial Velocities
Peter Plavchan, Peter Gao, Jonathan Gagne +31
We present the results of two 2.3 micron near-infrared radial velocity surveys to detect exoplanets around 36 nearby and young M dwarfs. We use the CSHELL spectrograph (R ~46,000)…
A High-Precision NIR Survey for RV Variable Low-Mass Stars
Jonathan Gagné, Peter Plavchan, Peter Gao +26
We present the results of a precise near-infrared (NIR) radial velocity (RV) survey of 32 low-mass stars with spectral types K2-M4 using CSHELL at the NASA IRTF in the -band wit…
