Exo-Restart

The figure shows the TESS transit+RV fitting results of the nearby Super-earth discovery of Gl486b (Trifonov et al., 2021b, Caballero et al. 2022). Gl486b is a prime target for atmospheric characterization with the JWST. TESS is already uncovering hundreds of transiting exoplanet candidates around nearby stars, such as Gl486b. Many of them are members of multiple-planet systems, which we aim to characterize. Our team has ample experience with TESS light curves. We aim to analyze public TESS data jointly with archival and new RV data. Multiple planet systems will be modeled with self-consistent transit and RV models, which take into account the gravitational interaction between the planets. These superior models will be used for a more detailed dynamical analysis of near-resonant chains of transiting planets.
