Revisiting the Red Giant Branch Hosts KOI-3886 and ι Draconis. Detailed Asteroseismic Modeling and Consolidated Stellar Parameters. Asteroseismology is playing an increasingly important role in the characterization of red giant host stars and their planetary systems. Here, we conduct detailed asteroseismic modeling of the evolved red giant branch (RGB) hosts KOI-3886 and ι Draconis, making use of end-of-mission Kepler (KOI-3886) and multisector TESS (ι Draconis) time-series photometry. We also model the benchmark star KIC 8410637, a member of an eclipsing binary, thus providing a direct test to the seismic determination. We test the impact of adopting different sets of observed modes as seismic constraints. Inclusion of ℓ = 1 and 2 modes improves the precision of the stellar parameters, albeit marginally, compared to adopting radial modes alone, with 1.9%-3.0% (radius), 5%-9% (mass), and 19%-25% (age) reached when using all p-dominated modes as constraints. Given the very small spacing of adjacent dipole mixed modes in evolved RGB stars, the sparse set of observed g-dominated modes is not able to provide extra constraints, further leading to highly multimodal posteriors. Access to multiyear time-series photometry does not improve matters, with detailed modeling of evolved RGB stars based on (lower-resolution) TESS data sets attaining a precision commensurate with that based on end-of-mission Kepler data. Furthermore, we test the impact of varying the atmospheric boundary condition in our stellar models. We find the mass and radius estimates to be insensitive to the description of the near-surface layers, at the expense of substantially changing both the near-surface structure of the best-fitting models and the values of associated parameters like the initial helium abundance, Y  i . Attempts to measure Y  i  from seismic modeling of red giants may thus be systematically dependent on the choice of atmospheric physics.

PACMan2: Next Steps in Proposal Review Management. With the start of a new Great Observatories era, there is renewed concern that the demand for these forefront facilities, through proposal pressure, will exceed conventional peer-review management's capacity for ensuring an unbiased and efficient selection. There is need for new methods, strategies, and tools to facilitate those reviews. Here, we describe PACMan2, an updated tool for proposal review management that utilizes machine-learning models and techniques to topically categorize proposals and reviewers, to match proposals to reviewers, and to facilitate proposal assignments, mitigating some conflicts of interest. We find that the classifier has cross-validation accuracy of 80.0% ± 2.2% on proposals for time on the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.

Improved Companion Mass Limits for Sirius A with Thermal Infrared Coronagraphy Using a Vector-apodizing Phase Plate and Time-domain Starlight-subtraction Techniques. We use observations with the infrared-optimized Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO) system and Clio camera in 3.9 μm light to place stringent mass constraints on possible undetected companions to Sirius A. We suppress the light from Sirius A by imaging it through a grating vector-apodizing phase plate coronagraph with a 180° dark region (gvAPP-180). To remove residual starlight in postprocessing, we apply a time-domain principal-components-analysis-based algorithm we call PCA-Temporal, which uses eigen time series rather than eigenimages to subtract starlight. By casting the problem in terms of eigen time series, we reduce the computational cost of postprocessing the data, enabling the use of the fully sampled data set for improved contrast at small separations. We also discuss the impact of retaining fine temporal sampling of the data on final contrast limits. We achieve postprocessed contrast limits of 1.5 × 10-6-9.8 × 10-6 outside of 0.″75, which correspond to planet masses of 2.6-8.0 M J. These are combined with values from the recent literature of high-contrast imaging observations of Sirius to synthesize an overall completeness fraction as a function of mass and separation. After synthesizing these recent studies and our results, the final completeness analysis rules out 99% of ≥9 M J planets from 2.5 to 7 au.

Validation of TOI-1221 b: A Warm Sub-Neptune Exhibiting Transit Timing Variations around a Sun-like Star. We present a validation of a long-period ( ${91.68278}_{-0.00041}^{+0.00032}$ days) transiting sub-Neptune planet, TOI-1221 b (TIC 349095149.01), around a Sun-like (m  V  = 10.5) star. This is one of the few known exoplanets with a period &gt;50 days, and belongs to the even smaller subset of which have bright enough hosts for detailed spectroscopic follow-up. We combine Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite light curves and ground-based time-series photometry from the Perth Exoplanet Survey Telescope (0.3 m) and Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope network (1.0 m) to analyze the transit signals and rule out nearby stars as potential false-positive sources. High-contrast imaging from the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope and Gemini/Zorro rule out nearby stellar contaminants. Reconnaissance spectroscopy from CHIRON sets a planetary scale upper mass limit on the transiting object (1.1 and 3.5 M Jup at 1σ and 3σ, respectively) and shows no sign of a spectroscopic binary companion. We determine a planetary radius of ${R}_{{\rm{p}}}={2.91}_{-0.12}^{+0.13}{R}_{\oplus }$ , placing it in the sub-Neptune regime. With a stellar insolation of $S={6.06}_{-0.77}^{+0.85}\ {S}_{\oplus }$ , we calculate a moderate equilibrium temperature of T eq = 440 K, assuming no albedo and perfect heat redistribution. We find a false-positive probability from the TRICERATOPS tool of FPP = 0.0014 ± 0.0003 as well as other qualitative and quantitative evidence to support the statistical validation of TOI-1221 b. We find significant evidence (&gt;5σ) of oscillatory transit timing variations, likely indicative of an additional nontransiting planet.

TOI-5375 B: A Very Low Mass Star at the Hydrogen-burning Limit Orbiting an Early M-type Star. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission detected a companion orbiting TIC 71268730, categorized it as a planet candidate, and designated the system TOI-5375. Our follow-up analysis using radial-velocity data from the Habitable-zone Planet Finder, photometric data from Red Buttes Observatory, and speckle imaging with NN-EXPLORE Exoplanet Stellar Speckle Imager determined that the companion is a very low mass star near the hydrogen-burning mass limit with a mass of 0.080 ± 0.002M ☉ (83.81 ± 2.10M  J ), a radius of ${0.1114}_{-0.0050}^{+0.0048}{R}_{\odot }$ (1.0841 ${}_{0.0487}^{0.0467}{R}_{J}$ ), and brightness temperature of 2600 ± 70 K. This object orbits with a period of 1.721553 ± 0.000001 days around an early M dwarf star (0.62 ± 0.016M ☉). TESS photometry shows regular variations in the host star's TESS light curve, which we interpreted as an activity-induced variation of ~2%, and used this variability to measure the host star's stellar rotation period of ${1.9716}_{-0.0083}^{+0.0080}$ days. The TOI-5375 system provides tight constraints on stellar models of low-mass stars at the hydrogen-burning limit and adds to the population in this important region. *Based on observations obtained with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET), which is a joint project of the University of Texas at Austin, the Pennsylvania State University, Ludwig-Maximillians-Universitaet Muenchen, and Georg-August Universitaet Goettingen. The HET is named in honor of its principal benefactors, William P. Hobby and Robert E. Eberly. †The WIYN Observatory is a joint facility of the NSF's National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory, Indiana University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Missouri, the University of California-Irvine, and Purdue University.

Testing the Interaction between a Substellar Companion and a Debris Disk in the HR 2562 System. The HR 2562 system is a rare case where a brown dwarf companion resides in a cleared inner hole of a debris disk, offering invaluable opportunities to study the dynamical interaction between a substellar companion and a dusty disk. We present the first ALMA observation of the system as well as the continued Gemini Planet Imager monitoring of the companion's orbit with six new epochs from 2016 to 2018. We update the orbital fit, and in combination with absolute astrometry from GAIA, place a 3σ upper limit of 18.5 M  J  on the companion's mass. To interpret the ALMA observations, we used radiative transfer modeling to determine the disk properties. We find that the disk is well resolved and nearly edge-on. While the misalignment angle between the disk and the orbit is weakly constrained, due to the short orbital arc available, the data strongly support a (near) coplanar geometry for the system. Furthermore, we find that the models that describe the ALMA data best have inner radii that are close to the companion's semimajor axis. Including a posteriori knowledge of the system's SED further narrows the constraints on the disk's inner radius and places it at a location that is in reasonable agreement with (possibly interior to) predictions from existing dynamical models of disk truncation by an interior substellar companion. HR 2562 has the potential over the next few years to become a new test bed for dynamical interaction between a debris disk and a substellar companion.

Spectroscopic Orbits of Subsystems in Multiple Stars. X (Summary). Results of a large program of spectroscopic monitoring of nearby solar-type stellar hierarchical systems using the CHIRON echelle spectrograph at the 1.5 m telescope are summarized. Ten papers of this series contain 102 spectroscopic orbits and substantially contribute to the knowledge of periods and eccentricties, providing input for the study of their formation and early evolution. Radial velocities of an additional 91 targets without CHIRON orbits (members of wide physical pairs) are published here. Our results are compared to the recent Gaia nonsingle star (NSS) catalog, revealing its strengths and weaknesses. The NSS provides orbital periods for 31 objects of the CHIRON sample (about one third). Of the 22 spectroscopic NSS orbits in common, 14 are in good agreement with CHIRON, the rest have reduced velocity amplitudes or other problems. Hence ground-based monitoring gives, so far, a more accurate and complete picture of nearby hierarchies than Gaia. The distribution of inner periods in hierarchical systems is nonmonotonic, showing a shallow minimum in the 30-100 days bin and a strong excess at shorter periods, compared to the smooth distribution of simple binaries in the field. The period-eccentricity diagram of inner subsystems updated by this survey, recent literature, and Gaia, displays an interesting structure.

Atmospheric and Fundamental Parameters of the Individual Components of Multiple Stellar Systems. We present detailed analyses of eight triple stellar systems (lying between 20 and 155 pc) and nine quadruple stellar systems (lying between 20 and 250 pc) with different configurations. Most of these systems are hierarchical. The systems are HIP 4239, HIP 5588, HIP 11072, HIP 12548, HIP 13498, HIP 17895, HIP 19915, HIP 22607, HIP 25240, HIP 28614, HIP 41171, HIP 51255, HIP 51966, HIP 54611, HIP 78977, HIP 89234, and HIP 111805. We followed a method that can be applied to all multiple stellar systems, including the main sequence and subgiant evolutionary stages, to obtain their masses, ages, and atmospheric and fundamental parameters. These parameters were assured by the combined analysis of the astrometric measurements, photometric measurements, dynamical analysis, synthetic photometry, metallicity, and positions of the components on the H-R diagram. The estimated individual masses are of higher accuracy than those given by the dynamical solutions and listed in the MSC. The results show that all components of each of these systems have precisely the same age and metallicity. This ensures that fragmentation is the most probable theory for the formation of these multiple stellar systems. A quadratic fit was calculated for the mass-luminosity relation of the main-sequence subset components. We found that the primary component in all of these systems has evolved off the main-sequence stage, and some of these stars have already entered the subgiant stage.

The Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program: Corrections on Photometry Due to Wavelength-dependent Atmospheric Effects. Wavelength-dependent atmospheric effects impact photometric supernova flux measurements for ground-based observations. We present corrections on supernova flux measurements from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program's 5YR sample (DES-SN5YR) for differential chromatic refraction (DCR) and wavelength-dependent seeing, and we show their impact on the cosmological parameters w and Ω m . We use g - i colors of Type Ia supernovae to quantify astrometric offsets caused by DCR and simulate point-spread functions (PSFs) using the GalSIM package to predict the shapes of the PSFs with DCR and wavelength-dependent seeing. We calculate the magnitude corrections and apply them to the magnitudes computed by the DES-SN5YR photometric pipeline. We find that for the DES-SN5YR analysis, not accounting for the astrometric offsets and changes in the PSF shape cause an average bias of +0.2 mmag and -0.3 mmag, respectively, with standard deviations of 0.7 mmag and 2.7 mmag across all DES observing bands (griz) throughout all redshifts. When the DCR and seeing effects are not accounted for, we find that w and Ω m  are lower by less than 0.004 ± 0.02 and 0.001 ± 0.01, respectively, with 0.02 and 0.01 being the 1σ statistical uncertainties. Although we find that these biases do not limit the constraints of the DES-SN5YR sample, future surveys with much higher statistics, lower systematics, and especially those that observe in the u band will require these corrections as wavelength-dependent atmospheric effects are larger at shorter wavelengths. We also discuss limitations of our method and how they can be better accounted for in future surveys.

Exploring the Magnetic Field Geometry in NGC 891 with SOFIA/HAWC+. Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy/High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera-plus 154 μm Far-Infrared polarimetry observations of the well-studied edge-on galaxy NGC 891 are analyzed and compared to simple disk models with ordered (planar) and turbulent magnetic fields. The overall low magnitude and the narrow dispersion of fractional polarization observed in the disk require significant turbulence and a large number of turbulent decorrelation cells along the line of sight through the plane. Higher surface brightness regions along the major axis to either side of the nucleus show a further reduction in polarization and are consistent with a view tangent to a spiral feature in our disk models. The nucleus also has a similar low polarization, and this is inconsistent with our model spiral galaxy where the ordered magnetic field component would be nearly perpendicular to the line of sight through the nucleus on an edge-on view. A model with a barred spiral morphology with a magnetic field geometry derived from radio synchrotron observations of face-on barred spirals fits the data much better. There is clear evidence for a vertical field extending into the halo from one location in the disk coincident with a polarization null point seen in near-infrared polarimetry, probably due to a blowout caused by star formation. Although our observations were capable of detecting a vertical magnetic field geometry elsewhere in the halo, no clear signature was found. A reduced polarization due to a mix of planar and vertical fields in the dusty regions of the halo best explains our observations, but unusually significant turbulence cannot be ruled out.

A Catalog of Distance Determinations for the LAMOST DR8 K Giants in the Galactic Halo. We present a catalog of distances for 19,544 K giants drawn from Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) DR8. Most of them are located in the halo of the Milky Way up to ~120 kpc. There are 15% K giants without Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry, for which we supplements with Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) photometry calibrated to SDSS photometric system. The possible contamination of the red clumps/horizontal branch are removed according to metallicities and colors before the distance determination. Combining the LAMOST spectroscopic metallicities with the SDSS/PS1 photometry, we estimate the absolute magnitudes in the SDSS r band, the distance moduli, and the corresponding uncertainties through an Bayesian approach devised by Xue et al. for the Sloan Extension for Galactic understanding and exploration halo K giants. The typical distance precision is about 11%. The stars in the catalog lie in a region of 4-126 kpc from the Galactic center, of which with 6320 stars beyond 20 kpc and 273 stars beyond 50 kpc, forming the largest spectroscopic sample of distant tracers in the Milky Way halo so far.

The Giant Accreting Protoplanet Survey (GAPlanetS)-Results from a 6 yr Campaign to Image Accreting Protoplanets. Accreting protoplanets are windows into planet formation processes, and high-contrast differential imaging is an effective way to identify them. We report results from the Giant Accreting Protoplanet Survey (GAPlanetS), which collected Hα differential imagery of 14 transitional disk host stars with the Magellan Adaptive Optics System. To address the twin challenges of morphological complexity and point-spread function instability, GAPlanetS required novel approaches for frame selection and optimization of the Karhounen-Loéve Image Processing algorithm pyKLIP. We detect one new candidate, CS Cha "c," at a separation of 68 mas and a modest Δmag of 2.3. We recover the HD 142527 B and HD 100453 B accreting stellar companions in several epochs, and the protoplanet PDS 70 c in 2017 imagery, extending its astrometric record by nine months. Though we cannot rule out scattered light structure, we also recover LkCa 15 "b," at Hα; its presence inside the disk cavity, absence in Continuum imagery, and consistency with a forward-modeled point source suggest that it remains a viable protoplanet candidate. Through targeted optimization, we tentatively recover PDS 70 c at two additional epochs and PDS 70 b in one epoch. Despite numerous previously reported companion candidates around GAplanetS targets, we recover no additional point sources. Our moderate Hα contrasts do not preclude most protoplanets, and we report limiting Hα contrasts at unrecovered candidate locations. We find an overall detection rate of ~36 ${}_{-22}^{+26} \% $ , considerably higher than most direct imaging surveys, speaking to both GAPlanetS's highly targeted nature and the promise of Hα differential imaging for protoplanet identification.

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. VIII. Complete Sample of 2019 Subprime Field Planets. We complete the publication of all microlensing planets (and "possible planets") identified by the uniform approach of the KMT AnomalyFinder system in the 21 KMT subprime fields during the 2019 observing season, namely, KMT-2019-BLG-0298, KMT-2019-BLG-1216, KMT-2019-BLG-2783, OGLE-2019-BLG-0249, and OGLE-2019-BLG-0679 (planets), as well as OGLE-2019-BLG-0344 and KMT-2019-BLG-0304 (possible planets). The five planets have mean log mass ratio measurements of (-2.6, -3.6, -2.5, -2.2, -2.3), median mass estimates of (1.81, 0.094, 1.16, 7.12, 3.34) M Jup, and median distance estimates of (6.7, 2.7, 5.9, 6.4, 5.6) kpc, respectively. The main scientific interest of these planets is that they complete the AnomalyFinder sample for 2019, which has a total of 25 planets that are likely to enter the statistical sample. We find statistical consistency with the previously published 33 planets from the 2018 AnomalyFinder analysis according to an ensemble of five tests. Of the 58 planets from 2018-2019, 23 were newly discovered by AnomalyFinder. Within statistical precision, half of the planets have caustic crossings, while half do not; an equal number of detected planets result from major- and minor-image light-curve perturbations; and an equal number come from KMT prime fields versus subprime fields.

Three Long-period Transiting Giant Planets from TESS. We report the discovery and orbital characterization of three new transiting warm giant planets. These systems were initially identified as presenting single-transit events in the light curves generated from the full-frame images of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. Follow-up radial velocity measurements and additional light curves were used to determine the orbital periods and confirm the planetary nature of the candidates. The planets orbit slightly metal-rich late F- and early G-type stars. We find that TOI 4406b has a mass of M  P  = 0.30 ± 0.04 M J, a radius of R  P  = 1.00 ± 0.02 R J, and a low-eccentricity orbit (e = 0.15 ± 0.05) with a period of P = 30.08364 ±0.00005 days. TOI 2338b has a mass of M  P  = 5.98 ± 0.20 M J, a radius of R  P  = 1.00 ± 0.01 R J, and a highly eccentric orbit (e = 0.676 ± 0.002) with a period of P = 22.65398 ± 0.00002 days. Finally, TOI 2589b has a mass of M  P  = 3.50 ± 0.10 M J, a radius of R  P  = 1.08 ± 0.03 R J, and an eccentric orbit (e = 0.522 ± 0.006) with a period of P = 61.6277 ± 0.0002 days. TOI 4406b and TOI 2338b are enriched in metals compared to their host stars, while the structure of TOI 2589b is consistent with having similar metal enrichment to its host star. *Based on observations collected at the European Organization for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere under ESO programmes 0104.C-0413, 106.21ER.001, and 108.22A8.001 and MPG programmes 0103.A-9008 and 0104.A-9007.
