The Astronomical JournalA significant fraction of hot Jupiters have orbital axes misaligned with their host stars’ spin axes. The large stellar obliquities of these giants have long been considered potential signatures of high-eccentricity migration, which is expected to clear ...

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesThe presence of another planetary companion in a transiting exoplanet system can impact its transit light curve, leading to sinusoidal transit-timing variations (TTV).

Damping Obliquities of Hot Jupiter Hosts by Resonance Locking
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWhen orbiting hotter stars, hot Jupiters are often highly inclined relative to their host star equator planes. By contrast, hot Jupiters orbiting cooler stars are more aligned.

A Planet Candidate Orbiting near the Hot Jupiter TOI-2818 b Inferred through Transit Timing
The Astrophysical JournalTOI-2818 b is a hot Jupiter orbiting a slightly evolved G-type star on a 4.04 day orbit that shows transit timing variations (TTVs) suggestive of a decreasing orbital period. In the most recent year of TESS observations, transits were observed ∼8 minutes

Quartz Clouds in the Dayside Atmosphere of the Quintessential Hot Jupiter HD 189733 b
The Astrophysical Journal LettersRecent mid-infrared observations with JWST's Mid-Infrared Instrument Low Resolution Spectrometer (MIRI LRS) have resulted in the first direct detections of absorption features from silicate clouds in the transmission spectra of two transiting exoplanets,

A Photochemical Phosphorus-Hydrogen-Oxygen Network for Hydrogen-dominated Exoplanet Atmospheres
The Astrophysical JournalDue to the detection of phosphine (PH _3 ) in the solar system gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, PH _3 has long been suggested to be detectable in exosolar substellar atmospheres too.

The Astronomical JournalNASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has identified over 7000 candidate exoplanets via the transit method, with gas giants among the most readily detected due to their large radii. Even so, long intervals between TESS observations for much

Overcast Mornings and Clear Evenings in Hot Jupiter Exoplanet Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal LettersAerosols are an old topic in the young field of exoplanet atmospheres. Understanding what they are, how they form, and where they go has long provided a fertile playground for theorists.

The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe report the discovery and characterization of a small planet, TOI-1408 c, on a 2.2 day orbit located interior to a previously known hot Jupiter, TOI-1408 b ( P = 4.42 days, M = 1.86 ± 0.02 M _Jup , R = 2.4 ± 0.5 R _Jup ) that exhibits grazing transits.
