  • ASTEP confirmation of a pair of long-period Jupiter-sized planets with extremely low densities transiting TOI-791
    Gas giant planets with periods $20~\lt ~P~\lt ~300~\rm d$ orbiting Sun-like stars are a relatively uncommon outcome of planetary formation, and key questions about the nature and formation of this subpopulation remain unanswered. Theoretical models for the location of their formation (in situ or ex situ) and for their subsequent migration predict

  • An ultra-short-period super-Earth and a sub-Neptune orbiting the K dwarf TOI-4311
    We report the discovery and characterization of the multiplanetary system around TOI-4311, a K dwarf kinematically between the Galactic thick disc and Hercules stream. TOI-4311 hosts an ultra-short-period super-Earth (P $\sim$0.99 d, $1.376^{+0.077}_{-0.080}$ R $_{\oplus }$) and a longer period sub-Neptune (P $\sim$15 d, $2.47^{+0.12}_{-0.11}$ R $_

  • X-ray-luminous late-type giants: An overlooked population contributing to the Galactic ridge iron line emission
    Context. The origin of the highly ionized iron emission (Fe XXV at 6.7 keV) characterizing Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE) remains a fundamental piece of the puzzle in high-energy astrophysics. Although the GRXE continuum was largely resolved into discrete populations of cataclysmic variables and coronally active stars, subsequent measurements

  • TOI-2494 c and TOI-5143 c: A Hot Saturn and a Hot Jupiter with Interior Planetary Companions
    We present the TESS-based discoveries of planetary systems orbiting the late G dwarfs TOI-2494 and TOI-5143, each of which harbors a hot giant planet and a smaller interior planet. TOI-2494 hosts a transiting mini-Neptune (P = 2.41 days, R P = 2.3 5 − 0.15 + 0.16 R ⊕) and a hot Saturn (P = 8.38 days) with grazing transits, while TOI-5143 hosts a

  • The SPT-deep Cluster Catalog: Sunyaev─Zel'dovich Selected Clusters from Combined SPT-3G and SPTpol Measurements over 100 Square Degrees
    We present a catalog of 500 galaxy cluster candidates in the SPT-Deep field: a 100 deg 2 field that combines data from the SPT-3G and SPTpol surveys to reach noise levels of 3.0, 2.2, and 9.0 μK-arcmin at 95, 150, and 220 GHz, respectively. Candidates are selected via the thermal Sunyaev─Zel'dovich (SZ) effect with a minimum significance of ξ = 4.0

  • The Near-ultraviolet Transit of XO-3 b
    Near-ultraviolet (NUV) measurements of exoplanet transits offer a means to probe atmospheric escape, cloud formation, and planetary magnetic fields. We examine a 2024 XMM-Newton Optical Monitor NUV observation of the transit of XO-3 b, a massive hot Jupiter on an eccentric orbit with a previously observed abnormally large NUV-absorbing atmosphere
