As many as 10\% of OB-type stars have global magnetic fields, which is surprising given their internal structure is radiative near the surface.

TOI-640 b is one of only three known hot Jupiters to have a highly inflated radius (R$_{\rm P}$ > 1. 7R$_{\rm J}$, possibly a result of its host star's evolution) and resides on an orbit with a period longer than 5 days.

We report the discovery of two short-period Saturn-mass planets, one transiting the G subgiant TOI-954 (TIC 44792534, $ V = 10. 343 $, $ T = 9. 78 $) observed in TESS Sectors 4 & 5, and one transiting the G dwarf EPIC 246193072 ($ V = 12. 70 $, $ K = 10. 67 $) observed in K2 Campaigns 12 & 19.

We highlight several potential pitfalls in exoplanet modeling, including the handling of eccentricity in transit-only fits, that the standard exoplanet convention for $\omega$ uses a left-handed coordinate system, contrary to most modern textbooks, how to avoid an important degeneracy when allowing negative companion masses, and a widely unappreciated, potential 10-minute ambiguity in the reported transit times.

Our modeling suggests that the narrow [Ca II] features observed in the nebular spectrum are associated with $^{48}$Ca from electron capture during the explosion, which is expected to occur only in white dwarfs that explode near or at the $M_{\rm Ch}$ limit.

The phase curve includes the transit, secondary eclipse, and sinusoidal modulations across the orbital phase shaped by the planet's atmospheric characteristics and the star-planet gravitational interaction.

Using spectroscopic radial velocities with the APOGEE instrument and Gaia distance estimates, we demonstrate that Kepler-503b, currently considered a validated Kepler planet, is in fact a brown-dwarf/low-mass star in a nearly circular 7. 2-day orbit around a subgiant star.

We confirm the planetary nature of the companion via a combination of radial velocities, which limit the mass to $< 4. 1\,\mathrm{M_J}$ $(3\sigma)$, and a clear Doppler tomography signal, which indicates a retrograde projected spin-orbit misalignment of $\lambda = -179. 7^{+3. 7}_{-3. 8}$ degrees.
