A JWST NIRSpec Phase Curve for WASP-121b: Dayside Emission Strongest Eastward of the Substellar Point and Nightside Conditions Conducive to Cloud Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present the first exoplanet phase-curve measurement made with the JWST NIRSpec instrument, highlighting the exceptional stability of this newly commissioned observatory for exoplanet climate studies.

Classification of Trajectories in a Two-planet Exosystem Using the Generalized Three-body Problem

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We deploy the theory of the generalized three-body problem to describe an exosystem composed of a host star, a transiting Jupiter-sized exoplanet, and an Earth-sized exoplanet.

The Impact of the Free-floating Planet Mass Function on the Event Rate for Accurate Microlensing Parallax Determination: Application to Euclid and Roman Parallax Observation

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
A microlensing event is mainly used to search for free-floating planets (FFPs). To estimate the FFP mass and distance via the microlensing effect, a microlensing parallax is one of the key parameters.

Fizzy Super-Earths: Impacts of Magma Composition on the Bulk Density and Structure of Lava Worlds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Lava worlds are a potential emerging population of Super-Earths that are on close-in orbits around their host stars, with likely partially molten mantles. To date, few studies have addressed the impact of magma on the observed properties of a planet.

Classify and Explore the Diversity of Planetary Population and Interior Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Classification is an essential method and has been developed widely in astronomy. However, planets still lack a universal classification framework, because the solar system planet sample is too small for statistical analysis.

Validation of TOI-1221 b: A Warm Sub-Neptune Exhibiting Transit Timing Variations around a Sun-like Star

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present a validation of a long-period ( ${91.68278}_{-0.00041}^{+0.00032}$ days) transiting sub-Neptune planet, TOI-1221 b (TIC 349095149.01), around a Sun-like ( m _V = 10.5) star.

Exploring Climate with Obliquity in a Variable-eccentricity Earth-like World

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Exploring planetary systems similar to our solar system can provide a means to explore a large range of possibly temperate climates on Earth-like worlds.

Kepler-80 Revisited: Assessing the Participation of a Newly Discovered Planet in the Resonant Chain

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
In this paper, we consider the chain of resonances in the Kepler-80 system and evaluate the impact that the additional member of the resonant chain discovered by Shallue & Vanderburg has on the dynamics of the system and the physical parameters that can ...

Emergent Spectral Fluxes of Hot Jupiters: An Abrupt Rise in Dayside Brightness Temperature Under Strong Irradiation

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We study the emergent spectral fluxes of transiting hot Jupiters, using secondary eclipses from Spitzer. To achieve a large and uniform sample, we have reanalyzed all secondary eclipses for all hot Jupiters observed by Spitzer at 3.6 and/or 4.5 μ m.

TOI-2525 b and c: A Pair of Massive Warm Giant Planets with Strong Transit Timing Variations Revealed by TESS

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The K-type star TOI-2525 has an estimated mass of M = ${0.849}_{-0.033}^{+0.024}$ M _⊙ and radius of R = ${0.785}_{-0.007}^{+0.007}$ R _⊙ observed by the TESS mission in 22 sectors (within sectors 1 and 39).
