VaTEST. II. Statistical Validation of 11 TESS-detected Exoplanets Orbiting K-type Stars

open access: yesThe 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

First results of the Kourovka Planet Search: discovery of transiting exoplanet candidates in the first three target fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present the first results of our search for transiting exoplanet candidates as part of the Kourovka Planet Search (KPS) project. The primary objective of the project is to search for new hot Jupiters which transit their host stars, mainly in the ...

Hubble Space Telescope Transmission Spectroscopy for the Temperate Sub-Neptune TOI-270 d: A Possible Hydrogen-rich Atmosphere Containing Water Vapor

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
TOI-270 d is a temperate sub-Neptune discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) around a bright ( J = 9.1 mag) M3V host star. With an approximate radius of 2 R _⊕ and equilibrium temperature of 350 K, TOI-270 d is one of the most ...

Direct discovery of the inner exoplanet in the HD206893 system. Evidence for deuterium burning in a planetary mass companion [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2022
Long term precise radial velocity (RV) monitoring of the nearby star HD206893, as well as anomalies in the system proper motion, have suggested the presence of an additional, inner companion in the system.

Validating AU Microscopii d with Transit Timing Variations

open access: yesThe 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.
