Unravelling the role of merger histories in the population of In~situ stars: linking IllustrisTNG cosmological simulation to H3 survey

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Razieh Emami, Lars Hernquist, Randall Smith, James F. Steiner, Grant Tremblay | Summary: We undertake a comprehensive investigation into the distribution of in~situ stars within Milky Way-like galaxies, leveraging TNG50 simulations and comparing their predictions with data from the H3 survey. Our analysis reveals that 28% of […]

TESS Investigation — Demographics of Young Exoplanets (TI-DYE) II: a second giant planet in the 17-Myr system HIP 67522

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Madyson G. Barber, Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Andrew Vanderburg, Mayuko Mori | Summary: The youngest ($<$50 Myr) planets are vital to understand planet formation and early evolution. The 17 Myr system HIP 67522 is already known to host a giant ($simeq$10$R_oplus$) planet on a tight […]
