Characterization of M dwarfs Using Optical Mid-Resolution Spectra for Exploration of Small Exoplanets

Yohei Koizumi, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Masashi Omiya +4

We present the optical spectra of 338 nearby M dwarfs, and compute their spectral types, effective temperatures (), and radii. Our spectra have been obtained usin…

A planetary system with two transiting mini-Neptunes near the radius valley transition around the bright M dwarf TOI-776

R. Luque, L. M. Serrano, K. Molaverdikhani +63

We report the discovery and characterization of two transiting planets around the bright M1 V star LP 961-53 (TOI-776, J = 8.5 mag, M = 0.54+-0.03 Msun) detected during Sector 10 o…

Precision radial velocity measurements by the forward-modeling technique in the near-infrared

Teruyuki Hirano, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Takayuki Kotani +15

Precision radial velocity (RV) measurements in the near-infrared are a powerful tool to detect and characterize exoplanets around low-mass stars or young stars with higher magnetic…

The TOI-763 system: sub-Neptunes orbiting a Sun-like star

M. Fridlund, J. Livingston, D. Gandolfi +51

We report the discovery of a planetary system orbiting TOI-763 (aka CD-39 7945), a , high proper motion G-type dwarf star that was photometrically monitored by the TESS spa…

Constraining the Bulk Composition of Disintegrating Exoplanets Using Combined Transmission Spectra from JWST and SPICA

Ayaka Okuya, Satoshi Okuzumi, Kazumasa Ohno +1

Disintegrating planets are ultra-short-period exoplanets that appear to have a comet-like dust tail. They are commonly interpreted as low-mass planets whose solid surface is evapor…

Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time. XI. The Orbit and Radiation Environment of the Young M Dwarf-Hosted Planet K2-25b

E. Gaidos, T. Hirano, D. J. Wilson +20

M dwarf stars are high-priority targets for searches for Earth-size and potentially Earth-like planets, but their planetary systems may form and evolve in very different circumstel…

Limits on the Spin-Orbit Angle and Atmospheric Escape for the 22 Myr-old Planet AU Mic b

Teruyuki Hirano, Vigneshwaran Krishnamurthy, Eric Gaidos +19

We obtained spectra of the pre-main sequence star AU Microscopii during a transit of its Neptune-sized planet to investigate its orbit and atmosphere. We used the high-dispersion n…

K2-280b -- a low density warm sub-Saturn around a mildly evolved star

Grzegorz Nowak, Enric Palle, Davide Gandolfi +57

We present an independent discovery and detailed characterisation of K2-280b, a transiting low density warm sub-Saturn in a 19.9-day moderately eccentric orbit (e = 0.35_{-0.04}^{+…

Transmission spectroscopy and Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements of the young Neptune orbiting AU Mic

E. Palle, M Oshagh, N. Casasayas-Barris +8

AU Mic~b is a Neptune size planet on a 8.47-day orbit around the nearest pre-main sequence (20 Myr) star to the Sun, the bright (V=8.81) M dwarf AU Mic. The planet was prelim…

AU Mic b is the Youngest Planet to have a Spin-Orbit Alignment Measurement

Brett C. Addison, Jonathan Horner, Robert A. Wittenmyer +20

We report measurements of the sky-projected spin-orbit angle for AU\,Mic\,b, a Neptune-size planet orbiting a very young (\,Myr) nearby pre-main sequence M dwarf star which…

The multi-planet system TOI-421 -- A warm Neptune and a super puffy mini-Neptune transiting a G9 V star in a visual binary

Ilaria Carleo, Davide Gandolfi, Oscar Barragán +110

We report the discovery of a warm Neptune and a hot sub-Neptune transiting TOI-421 (BD-14 1137, TIC 94986319), a bright (V=9.9) G9 dwarf star in a visual binary system observed by…

LHS 1815b: The First Thick-Disk Planet Detected By TESS

Tianjun Gan, Avi Shporer, John H. Livingston +35

We report the first discovery of a thick-disk planet, LHS 1815b (TOI-704b, TIC 260004324), detected in the TESS survey. LHS 1815b transits a bright (V = 12.19 mag, K = 7.99 mag) an…

Evidence for Spin-orbit Alignment in the TRAPPIST-1 System

Teruyuki Hirano, Eric Gaidos, Joshua N. Winn +21

In an effort to measure the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for the TRAPPIST-1 system, we performed high-resolution spectroscopy during transits of planets e, f, and b. The spectra were…
