Here is TOI-4652 b's orbit, compared with planets from the Solar System. Cherry on the cake, there are signs of Transit Timing Variations, probably indicating the presence of another, yet invisible body!

TOI-4562 b's location allowed 2 full years of coverage with @TESSatMIT, enabling it's 225 day orbit to be revealed. Follow up with CHIRON@SMARTS and @SAAO provided further characterisation of this gas giant.

The last piece of my PhD accepted in the Astronomical Journal: This discovery paper highlights a young, Jupiter sized, super eccentric planet on a 225 days orbit!.Many thanks to @georgezhouastro and @ChelseaH_Astro, @unisqaus and all the people involved.

That's a big one! Congrats to @spacejayk on his latest paper. Go check it out if you want to know how stellar surveys can help us better constrain exoplanets properties!.

I'm not too sure what I'm most wrapped about today; my 2nd, 1st-author paper coming out or knowing that I'm still a rehabilitating emo kid through my @spotify annual report 🖤 I'm going to combine both together to talk about my new research, so strap yourselves in!

Measuring obliquity for such young planets is only a couple of years old, and mostly thanks to TESS! It's also not trivial, as we need to account for the stellar variability, so typical of young stars.

We found that HIP 67522 b is well-aligned, just like the four other very young systems for which obliquity is known. This is exciting because if we keep finding young and aligned systems such as HIP 67522 b, it might hint us at how these giant worlds come to exist.

For my first ever tweet I would like to announce my very recent paper available on the arXiv !.We measured the obliquity of the youngest Jupiter-sized exoplanet known to transit, HIP 67522 b. This will help us understand the history of hot giant planets.
