TESS-Keck Survey. XIV. Two Giant Exoplanets from the Distant Giants Survey

open access: yesThe 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 _⊕ ). For

Nondetections of Helium in the Young Sub-Jovian Planets K2-100b, HD 63433b, and V1298 Tau c

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We search for excess in-transit absorption of neutral helium at 1.083 μ m in the atmospheres of the young (

Rotation Periods, Inclinations, and Obliquities of Cool Stars Hosting Directly Imaged Substellar Companions: Spin–Orbit Misalignments Are Common

open access: yesThe 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,

Revised Mass and Orbit of ε Eridani b: A 1 MJup Planet on a Near-circular Orbit

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The mature Jovian planet ε Eridani b ( ε Eri b) orbits one of the closest Sun-like stars at a moderate separation of 3.5 au, presenting one of the best opportunities to image a true analog to a solar system planet.

Probing Cold-to-temperate Exoplanetary Atmospheres: The Role of Water Condensation on Surface Identification with JWST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Understanding the surface temperature and interior structure of cold-to-temperate sub-Neptunes is critical for assessing their habitability, yet direct observations are challenging.

No Evidence for a Metallicity-dependent Enhancement of Distant Giant Companions to Close-in Small Planets in the California Legacy Survey

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Understanding the relationship between close-in small (CS) planets and distant giants (DGs) is central to understanding the formation of planetary systems like our own.

Discovery and Dynamics of the Nontransiting Planet Kepler-139f

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Among the ways that an outer giant planet can alter the architecture of an inner planetary system is by tilting the orbits of the inner planets and reducing their mutual transit probabilities.

The Gap–Giant Association: Are Planets Hiding in the Gaps?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A handful of stars are known to host both an inner system of multiple transiting planets and an outer giant planet. These systems all feature a prominent gap between the orbits of two of the transiting planets, distinguishing them from typical ...

Searching for GEMS: The Occurrence of Giant Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs within 100 pc

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present results from a systematic search for transiting short-period giant exoplanets around M dwarf stars (GEMS; P
