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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

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

open access: yesThe 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.

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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

An Eccentric Sub-Neptune Moving Into the Evaporation Desert

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesThe 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

Carving Out the Inner Edge of the Period Ratio Distribution through Giant Impacts

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The distribution of orbital period ratios between adjacent observed exoplanets is approximately uniform, but exhibits a strong falloff toward close orbital separations.

Resonant and Ultra-short-period Planet Systems Are at Opposite Ends of the Exoplanet Age Distribution

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Exoplanet systems are thought to evolve on secular timescales over billions of years. This evolution is impossible to directly observe on human timescales in most individual systems.
