From Earths to Super-Earths: Five New Small Planets Transiting M Dwarf Stars
Jonathan Gomez Barrientos, Heather A. Knutson, Morgan Saidel +39
Earth-sized planets transiting M dwarf stars present one of the best opportunities with current facilities for studying the atmospheric and bulk compositions of terrestrial worlds.…
An Ancient Brown Dwarf Transiting a Metal-Poor Thick Disk Star
Jéa Adams Redai, Vedant Chandra, Samuel W. Yee +20
We report the discovery of TOI-7019b, the first transiting brown dwarf (BD) known to orbit a star that is part of the Milky Way's ancient thick disk, as defined chemically ([Fe/H]…
"Popcorn Planets" are Not Actively Inflated by Eccentricity Tides
Samuel W. Yee, Shreyas Vissapragada
Recent discoveries have revealed a population of "popcorn planets" that have masses similar to that of Neptune but radii comparable to Jupiter, leading to exceptionally low bulk de…
The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge
Samuel W. Yee, Patrick Tamburo, Gudmundur Stefánsson +11
The ``Neptunian ridge'' is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and…
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…
The Hot Neptune Initiative (HONEI) II. TOI-5795 b: A hot super-Neptune orbiting a metal-poor star
F. Manni, L. Naponiello, L. Mancini +31
The formation of Neptune planets with orbital periods less than 10\,days remains uncertain. They might have developed similarly to longer-period counterparts, emerged from rare col…
