WASP-107b's density is even lower: a case study for the physics of planetary gas envelope accretion and orbital migration
Caroline Piaulet, Björn Benneke, Ryan A. Rubenzahl +21
With a mass in the Neptune regime and a radius of Jupiter, WASP-107b presents a challenge to planet formation theories. Meanwhile, the planet's low surface gravity and the star's b…
A Closer Look at Exoplanet Occurrence Rates: Considering the Multiplicity of Stars Without Detected Planets
Arjun B. Savel, Courtney D. Dressing, Lea A. Hirsch +5
One core goal of the Kepler mission was to determine the frequency of Earth-like planets that orbit Sun-like stars. Accurately estimating this planet occurrence rate requires both…
Transmission spectroscopy for the warm sub-Neptune HD3167c: evidence for molecular absorption and a possible high metallicity atmosphere
Thomas Mikal-Evans, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Bjorn Benneke +26
We present a transmission spectrum for the warm (500-600K) sub-Neptune HD3167c obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 infrared spectrograph. We combine these…
Spitzer Reveals Evidence of Molecular Absorption in the Atmosphere of the Hot Neptune LTT 9979b
Diana Dragomir, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Bjorn Benneke +27
Non-rocky sub-jovian exoplanets in high irradiation environments are rare. LTT 9979b, also known as TESS Object of Interest (TOI) 193.01, is one of the few such planets discovered…
A Giant Planet Candidate Transiting a White Dwarf
Andrew Vanderburg, Saul A. Rappaport, Siyi Xu +61
Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside the solar system, most of which orbit stars that will eventually evolve into red giants and then into white dwarfs. During…
A super-Earth and a sub-Neptune orbiting the bright, quiet M3 dwarf TOI-1266
B. -O. Demory, F. J. Pozuelos, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +70
We report the discovery and characterisation of a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune transiting the bright (), quiet, and nearby (37 pc) M3V dwarf TOI-1266. We validate the plane…
