Stellar obliquities in exoplanetary systems

SH Albrecht, RI Dawson, JN Winn - Publications of the …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The rotation of a star and the revolutions of its planets are not necessarily aligned. This
article reviews the measurement techniques, key findings, and theoretical interpretations …

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME). VI. An 11 Myr giant planet transiting a very-low-mass star in Lower Centaurus Crux

AW Mann, ML Wood, SP Schmidt… - The Astronomical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are predicted to be≃ Jovian radius when younger
than 10 Myr. Thus, we expect to find 5–15 R⊕ planets around young stars even if their older …

Constraints on the Spindown of Fully Convective M Dwarfs Using Wide Field Binaries

EK Pass, D Charbonneau, JM Irwin… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
M dwarfs remain active over longer timescales than their Sunlike counterparts, with
potentially devastating implications for the atmospheres of their planets. However, the age at …

Creating the radius gap without mass loss

EJ Lee, A Karalis, DP Thorngren - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The observed exoplanet population features a gap in the radius distribution that separates
the smaller super-Earths (≲ 1.7 Earth radii) from the larger sub-Neptunes (∼ 1.7–4 Earth …

The young HD 73583 (TOI-560) planetary system: two 10-M mini-Neptunes transiting a 500-Myr-old, bright, and active K dwarf

O Barragán, DJ Armstrong, D Gandolfi… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We present the discovery and characterization of two transiting planets observed by TESS in
the light curves of the young and bright (V= 9.67) star HD73583 (TOI-560). We perform an …

The Gaia-ESO Survey: empirical estimates of stellar ages from lithium equivalent widths (eagles)

RD Jeffries, RJ Jackson, NJ Wright… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We present an empirical model of age-dependent photospheric lithium depletion, calibrated
using a large homogeneously analysed sample of 6200 stars in 52 open clusters, with ages …

Stellar rotation in the Gaia era: revised open clusters' sequences

D Godoy-Rivera, MH Pinsonneault… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The period versus mass diagrams (ie, rotational sequences) of open clusters provide crucial
constraints for angular momentum evolution studies. However, their memberships are often …

TOI-2076 and TOI-1807: two young, comoving planetary systems within 50 pc identified by TESS that are ideal candidates for further follow up

C Hedges, A Hughes, G Zhou, TJ David… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery of two planetary systems around comoving stars: TOI-2076 (TIC
27491137) and TOI-1807 (TIC 180695581). TOI-2076 is a nearby (41.9 pc) multiplanetary …

Removal of Hot Saturns in Mass–Radius Plane by Runaway Mass Loss

DP Thorngren, EJ Lee, ED Lopez - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The hot Saturn population exhibits a boundary in mass–radius space, such that no planets
are observed at a density less than∼ 0.1 g cm− 3. Yet, planet interior structure models can …

TOI-1801 b: A temperate mini-Neptune around a young M0. 5 dwarf

M Mallorquín, E Goffo, E Pallé, N Lodieu… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
We report the discovery, mass, and radius determination of TOI-1801 b, a temperate mini-
Neptune around a young M dwarf. TOI-1801 b was observed in TESS sectors 22 and 49 …
