The ability to assemble and reconfigure individual atoms is central to performing quantum science using optical tweezer arrays. Here, we demonstrate parallel omnidirectional atom t…
Discovery and Characterization of the TOI-4468 Planetary System: A Transiting Hot Jupiter With a Lone Nearby Outer Companion
Joseph R. Livesey, Benjamin J. Hord, Juliette Becker +28
We report the discovery of two planets, a hot Jupiter and a nearby outer sub-Neptune, orbiting the star TOI-4468. This system is unique among the current exoplanet census in that i…
Atmospheric Signatures of Common Envelope Evolution in White Dwarf Planets
Sydney Jenkins, Andrew Vanderburg, James Mang +4
The majority of confirmed exoplanets orbit within 1 au of a main-sequence (MS) star. When their stellar hosts evolve off the MS, many of these planets will be engulfed and destroye…
Kepler Image-Subtracted Light Curves and Variable Star Catalog of NGC 6819
Melinda Soares-Furtado, Rianna Kuenzi, Rachel Lee McClure +11
Variable stars in open clusters are valuable probes of stellar evolution. They provide precise measurements of stellar properties, constrain cluster ages and distances, and trace t…
The Tale of a Hungry Subgiant and Its Brown Dwarf: Interior Radiative Damping Dominates the Tidal Evolution of TOI-5882
Ritvik Sai Narayan, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Richard H. D. Townsend
We present a self-consistent tidal evolution framework that couples binary evolution from MESA to the full linear tidal response from GYRE-tides. Applying this framework to TOI-588…
From Hubble to HWO: Bridging the Frontier of White Dwarf Exoplanet Science
Laura K. Rogers, Siyi Xu, Martin Barstow +20
White dwarf stars, the endpoint of stellar evolution for 97% of stars in our Milky Way, offer a unique and powerful window into the bulk elemental composition of rocky exoplanetary…
Lithium Enrichment in a Subgiant Star with a Brown Dwarf Companion: A Planetary Engulfment Candidate
Brooke Kotten, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Ricardo Yarza +11
Theoretical models predict that subgiants within a narrow mass regime can retain detectable lithium enrichment signatures from planetary engulfment. We test this prediction using T…
The Identification of CS2 and Evidence for Carbon-Sulfur Chemical Coupling in a Warm Giant Exoplanet Atmosphere
Anastasia Triantafillides, Thomas G. Beatty, Matthew C. Nixon +14
Transmission spectroscopy with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revealing growing chemical complexity in giant exoplanet atmospheres. Of particular interest is sulfur, whic…
GJ 523b is a Massive, 170 Myr-old Mega-Earth, Likely on a Polar Orbit
Maxwell A. Kroft, Thomas G. Beatty, Joseph M. Salzer +18
We use WIYN/NEID radial velocity measurements to confirm the planetary nature and measure the mass of the TESS transiting exoplanet candidate around the mid-K dwarf GJ 523 ($V=9.23…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XIV: A Comoving-Based Age Constraint for KELT-20
Adam Distler, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew W. Mann +9
Young stellar moving groups offer unique opportunities to investigate the early evolution of stellar and planetary systems. In continuation of an ongoing effort to age-date compell…
A Multi-Method Age Determination for the Ursa Major Moving Group
Julia Sheffler, Max Clark, Melinda Soares-Furtado +4
The Ursa Major Moving Group (UMa) is one of the closest stellar associations, yet its age has remained controversial, with published estimates ranging from 200 Myr to 1 Gyr. We pre…
Observable Metal Pollution in Main-Sequence Stars: Simulations of Rocky Planets Engulfed by Stars in the to M Range
Kaitlyn T. Lane, Alexander P. Stephan, Melinda Soares-Furtado +2
The engulfment of planets by their host stars is an expected outcome of various dynamical processes and has been invoked to explain a variety of observed stellar properties, such a…
Searching for Exoplanets Born Outside the Milky Way: VOYAGERS Survey Design
Robert Aloisi, Andrew Vanderburg, Melinda Soares-Furtado +44
Observations over the past few decades have found that planets are common around nearby stars in our Galaxy, but little is known about planets that formed outside the Milky Way. We…
Reassessing the Relationship Between Stellar X-ray Luminosity and Age with eROSITA Data Release 1
Nadja Aldarondo Quiñones, Sydney Jenkins, Andrew Vanderburg +2
Accurate stellar dating provides crucial information about the formation and development of planetary systems. Existing age-dating techniques are limited in terms of both the spect…
Shooting for the stars: Jet-mode feedback and AGN jet deceleration from stellar mass-loading
Talia M. O'Shea, Sebastian Heinz, Melinda Soares-Furtado +2
AGN jets are thought to be vital ingredients in galaxy evolution through the action of kinetic feedback; however, how narrow, relativistic outflows couple to galaxies remains an op…
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Roman Sees Where You Are: Predicting Exoplanet Transit Yields in the Rosette Nebula with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
Ritvik Sai Narayan, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Mary Anne Limbach +3
Young stars host only a small fraction of the known exoplanet population because their photometric variability, magnetic activity, and frequent placement in dense, poorly-resolved…
Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) II: Super-Jupiters and Lithium-rich Host Stars
Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +30
Although hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets discovered orbiting main sequence stars, the dominant mechanisms through which they form and evolve are not known. To address the qu…
Chemical enrichment of metal-poor stars orbiting massive black hole companions
