Measurement-Only Dynamical Phase Transitions in Spin-1 Chains
Kemal Aziz, Haining Pan, J. H. Pixley
We study measurement-only dynamics in an interacting spin-1 chain, using forced, normalized local projections rather than Born-rule-sampled measurement outcomes. Starting from the…
A broadband thermal emission spectrum of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-18b
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Björn Benneke, Ryan Challener +73
Close-in giant exoplanets with temperatures greater than 2,000 K (''ultra-hot Jupiters'') have been the subject of extensive efforts to determine their atmospheric properties using…
Photometric Confirmation and Characterization of the Ennomos Collisional Family in the Jupiter Trojans
Ian Wong, Michael E. Brown
Collisional families offer a unique window into the interior composition of asteroid populations. Previous dynamical studies of the Jupiter Trojans have uncovered a handful of pote…
Evidence for the volatile-rich composition of a 1.5- planet
Caroline Piaulet, Björn Benneke, Jose M. Almenara +18
The population of planets smaller than approximately is widely interpreted as consisting of rocky worlds, generally referred to as super-Earths. This picture is larg…
Implications for the collisional strength of Jupiter Trojans from the Eurybates family
Raphael Marschall, David Nesvorný, Rogerio Deienno +3
In this work, we model the collisional evolution of the Jupiter Trojans and determined under which conditions the Eurybates-Queta system survives. We show that the collisional stre…
The Hubble PanCET Program: A Featureless Transmission Spectrum for WASP-29b and Evidence of Enhanced Atmospheric Metallicity on WASP-80b

We present a uniform analysis of transit observations from the Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope of two warm gas giants orbiting K-type stars - WASP-29b and WASP-8…
Revisiting Kepler Transiting Systems: Unvetting Planets and Constraining Relationships among Harmonics in Phase Curves
Prajwal Niraula, Avi Shporer, Ian Wong +1
Space-based photometric missions widely use statistical validation tools for vetting transiting planetary candidates, particularly when other traditional methods of planet confirma…

Ian Wong, Avi Shporer, Shreyas Vissapragada +4
After observing WASP-12 in the second year of the primary mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) revisited the system in late 2021 during its extended mission. I…
TOI-2109b: An Ultrahot Gas Giant on a 16 hr Orbit
Ian Wong, Avi Shporer, George Zhou +56
We report the discovery of an ultrahot Jupiter with an extremely short orbital period of days (16 hr). The plane…
TOI-1518b: A Misaligned Ultra-hot Jupiter with Iron in its Atmosphere
Samuel H. C. Cabot, Aaron Bello-Arufe, João M. Mendonça +36
We present the discovery of TOI-1518b -- an ultra-hot Jupiter orbiting a bright star . The transiting planet is confirmed using high-resolution optical transmission spect…
Visible-light Phase Curves from the Second Year of the TESS Primary Mission
Ian Wong, Daniel Kitzmann, Avi Shporer +10
We carried out a systematic study of full-orbit phase curves for known transiting systems in the northern ecliptic sky that were observed during Year 2 of the TESS primary mission.…
TOI-1431b/MASCARA-5b: A Highly Irradiated Ultra-Hot Jupiter Orbiting One of the Hottest & Brightest Known Exoplanet Host Stars
Brett Christopher Addison, Emil Knudstrup, Ian Wong +70
We present the discovery of a highly irradiated and moderately inflated ultra-hot Jupiter, TOI-1431b/MASCARA-5b (HD 201033b), first detected by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey S…
