Helium in the Extended Atmosphere of the Warm Superpuff TOI-1420b

The Astronomical Journal
Superpuffs are planets with exceptionally low densities ( ρ ≲ 0.1 g cm ^−3 ) and core masses ( M _c ≲ 5 M _⊕ ). Many lower-mass ( M _p ≲ 10 M _⊕ ) superpuffs are expected to be unstable to catastrophic mass loss via photoevaporation and/or boil-off ...

Toward High-precision Mass Measurements of Two Sub-Neptunes in the K2-266 Planetary System Through Transit Timing

The Astronomical Journal
Sub-Neptunes have been found to be one of the most common types of exoplanets, yet their physical parameters and properties are poorly determined and in need of further investigation.

An Eccentric Sub-Neptune Moving Into the Evaporation Desert

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Though missions such as Kepler, K2, and TESS have discovered >2000 sub-Neptune and Neptunian planets, there is a dearth of such planets at close-in ( P ≲ 3 days) orbits. This feature, called the Neptune desert or the evaporation desert, is believed to be

Biases from Missing a Small Planet in High Multiplicity Systems

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
In an era when we are charting multiple planets per system, one might wonder the extent to which “missing” (or failing to detect) a planet can skew our interpretation of the system architecture. We address this question with a simple experiment: starting

TOI-2005b: An Eccentric Warm Jupiter in Spin-orbit Alignment

The Astronomical Journal
We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-2005 b, a warm Jupiter on an eccentric ( e  ∼ 0.59), 17.3 days orbit around a V _mag = 9.867 rapidly rotating F-star.

A Complex Systems Approach to Exoplanet Atmospheric Chemistry: New Prospects for Ruling Out the Possibility of Alien Life As We Know It

The Planetary Science Journal
The near-term ability to characterize terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres may bring us closer to discovering alien life through atmospheric data. However, remotely detectable candidate biosignature gases are subject to false-positive signals because they ...

The Epoch of Giant Planet Migration Planet Search Program. II. A Young Hot Jupiter Candidate around the AB Dor Member HS Psc

The Astronomical Journal
We report the discovery of a hot Jupiter candidate orbiting HS Psc, a K7 (≈0.7 M _⊙ ) member of the ≈130 Myr AB Doradus moving group. Using radial velocities over 4 yr from the Habitable-zone Planet Finder spectrograph at the Hobby–Eberly Telescope, we ...
