TOI-5205b: A Short-period Jovian Planet Transiting a Mid-M Dwarf
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present the discovery of TOI-5205b, a transiting Jovian planet orbiting a solar metallicity M4V star, which was discovered using Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometry and then confirmed using a combination of precise radial velocities ...Shubham Kanodia, Suvrath Mahadevan, Jessica Libby-Roberts, Gudmundur Stefansson, Caleb I.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present the Distant Giants Survey, a three-year radial velocity campaign to measure P(DG∣CS), the conditional occurrence of distant giant planets (DG; M _p ∼ 0.3–13 M _J , P > 1 yr) in systems hosting a close-in small planet (CS; R _p < 10 R _⊕ ).

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The orientation between a star’s spin axis and a planet’s orbital plane provides valuable information about the system’s formation and dynamical history. For non-transiting planets at wide separations, true stellar obliquities are challenging to measure, Brendan P. Bowler, Quang H. Tran, Zhoujian Zhang, Marvin Morgan, Katelyn B.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Warm Jupiters are close-in giant planets with relatively large planet–star separations (i.e., 10 < a / R _⋆ < 100). Given their weak tidal interactions with their host stars, measurements of stellar obliquity may be used to probe the initial obliquity ...Jiayin Dong, Songhu Wang, Malena Rice, George Zhou, Chelsea X.

An Eccentric Warm Jupiter Supports a Period−Eccentricity Relation for Giant Planets Transiting Evolved Stars
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The fate of planets around rapidly evolving stars is not well understood. Previous studies have suggested that, relative to the main-sequence population, planets transiting evolved stars ( P < 100 days) tend to have more eccentric orbits. Here we present Samuel K.
