TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME): A Planet in the 45 Myr Tucana–Horologium Association

Young exoplanets are snapshots of the planetary evolution process. Planets that orbit stars in young associations are particularly important because the age of the planetary system is well…

A giant planet candidate transiting a white dwarf.

These findings for the WD 1856+534 system indicate that giant planets can be scattered into tight orbits without being tidally disrupted, motivating the search for smaller transiting planets around white dwarfs.

Orbital Parameter Determination for Wide Stellar Binary Systems in the Age of Gaia

The orbits of binary stars and planets, particularly eccentricities and inclinations, encode the angular momentum within these systems. Within stellar multiple systems, the magnitude and…

TESS Spots a Compact System of Super-Earths around the Naked-eye Star HR 858

Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observations have revealed a compact multiplanet system around the sixth-magnitude star HR 858 (TIC 178155732, TOI 396), located 32 pc away. Three…

True Masses of the Long-period Companions to HD 92987 and HD 221420 from Hipparcos–Gaia Astrometry

The extensive time span of modern radial velocity surveys has made the discovery of long-period substellar companions more common in recent years; however, measuring the true masses of these objects…

Planetesimals around stars with TESS (PAST) – I. Transient dimming of a binary solar analogue at the end of the planet accretion era

We report detection of quasi-periodic (1.5-d) dimming of HD 240779, the solar-mass primary in a 5 arcsec visual binary (also TIC 284730577), by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. This…

An 11 Earth-mass, Long-period Sub-Neptune Orbiting a Sun-like Star

Although several thousands of exoplanets have now been detected and characterized, observational biases have led to a paucity of long-period, low-mass exoplanets with measured masses and a…

MagAO-X first light

MagAO-X is a new “extreme” adaptive optics system for the Magellan Clay 6.5 m telescope which began commissioning in December, 2019. MagAO-X is based around a 2040 actuator deformable mirror,…

Orbital Motion of the Wide Planetary-mass Companion GSC 6214-210 b: No Evidence for Dynamical Scattering

Direct-imaging exoplanet surveys have discovered a class of 5–20 substellar companions at separations >100 au from their host stars, which present a challenge to planet and star formation models.…
