Validating AU Microscopii d with Transit Timing Variations
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 AU Mic is a young (22 Myr), nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess transit timing variations (TTVs) that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity.

VaTEST. II. Statistical Validation of 11 TESS-detected Exoplanets Orbiting K-type Stars
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is an all-sky survey mission designed to find transiting exoplanets orbiting nearby bright stars. It has identified more than 329 transiting exoplanets, and almost 6000 candidates remain unvalidated. In

The Astronomical JournalAtmospheric mass loss is thought to induce the bimodality in the small planet population as we observe it today. Observationally, active mass loss can be traced by excess absorption in spectral lines of lighter species, such as the hydrogen Ly α line and

Astrometry of directly imaged exoplanets with optical interferometry
Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2023 Optical interferometry has always been seen as a promising but difficult technique for astronomy. Until the year 2018, it was excrucially limited in sensitivity to magnitudes below 10.

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.
