A Comprehensive Analysis of Spitzer 4.5 μm Phase Curves of Hot Jupiters

The Astronomical Journal
Although exoplanetary science was not initially projected to be a substantial part of the Spitzer mission, its exoplanet observations set the stage for current and future surveys with JWST and Ariel.

Low-amplitude and long-period radial velocity variations in giants HD 3574, 63 Cygni, and HD 216946 (Research Note)

, 2014
Aims. We study the low-amplitude and long-period variations in evolved stars using precise radial velocity measurements. Methods. The high-resolution, fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) was used from September 2004 to May 2014 as

Precision Stellar Astrophysics in the Kepler Era

, 2016
The study of fundamental properties (such as temperatures, radii, masses, and ages) and interior processes (such as convection and angular momentum transport) of stars has implications on various topics in astrophysics, ranging from the evolution of ...

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.

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 ...

Early Accretion of Large Amounts of Solids for Directly Imaged Exoplanets

The Astrophysical Journal
As the number of planetary-mass objects (PMOs; ⪅13 M _Jupiter ) at wider separation (⪆10 au) grows, there is emerging evidence that they form differently from their higher-mass brown dwarf counterparts.

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.

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

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 ...
