Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time (ZEIT) XIII: Planet Orbits and Atmospheres in the V1298 Tau System, a Keystone in Studies of Early Planetary Evolution

E. Gaidos, T. Hirano, C. Beichman +16

Studies of planetary systems of stars in star-forming regions and young clusters open a window on the formative stages of planetary evolution. We obtained high-cadence high-resolut…

TOI-2285b: A 1.7 Earth-radius Planet Near the Habitable Zone around a Nearby M Dwarf

Akihiko Fukui, Tadahiro Kimura, Teruyuki Hirano +60

We report the discovery of TOI-2285b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet transiting a nearby (42 pc) M dwarf with a period of 27.3 days. We identified the transit signal from the Transitin…

37 New Validated Planets in Overlapping K2 Campaigns

J. P. de Leon, J. Livingston, M. Endl +24

We analysed 68 candidate planetary systems first identified during Campaigns 5 and 6 (C5 and C6) of the NASA \textit{K2} mission. We set out to validate these systems by using a su…

A Search for Planetary Metastable Helium Absorption in the V1298 Tau System

Shreyas Vissapragada, Guðmundur Stefánsson, Michael Greklek-McKeon +28

Early in their lives, planets endure extreme amounts of ionizing radiation from their host stars. For planets with primordial hydrogen and helium-rich envelopes, this can lead to s…

TOI-674b: an oasis in the desert of exo-Neptunes transiting a nearby M dwarf

F. Murgas, N. Astudillo-Defru, X. Bonfils +59

We use TESS, Spitzer, ground-based light curves and HARPS spectrograph radial velocity measurements to establish the physical properties of the transiting exoplanet candidate TOI-6…

Hot planets around cool stars -- two short-period mini-Neptunes transiting the late K-dwarf TOI-1260

I. Y. Georgieva, C. M. Persson, O. Barragán +56

We present the discovery and characterization of two sub-Neptunes in close orbits, as well as a tentative outer planet of a similar size, orbiting TOI-1260 - a low metallicity K6V…

Two Bright M Dwarfs Hosting Ultra-Short-Period Super-Earths with Earth-like Compositions

Teruyuki Hirano, John H. Livingston, Akihiko Fukui +58

We present observations of two bright M dwarfs (TOI-1634 and TOI-1685: ) hosting ultra-short period (USP) planets, identified by the TESS mission. The two stars are simi…
