Congratulations to HPF PI Suvrath Mahadevan on being named Verne M. Willaman Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics!

Is a Neptune Desert still a desert if it's not as hot? Not according to this new HPF result! Check out the new blog post. Work led by HPF team members Luke Powers and Jessica Libby-Roberts. sites.psu.edu/hzpf/2023/07/1…

Newon the HPF blog: some history--and a new exoplanet discovery--from the original McDonald Observatory M dwarf planet search. Data from W. M. Keck Observatory helped confirm the orbit, and astrometry gives a *true mass* for the planet! sites.psu.edu/hzpf/2023/06/1…

New science on the HPF blog: check out how a transiting planet helps us study massive polar starspots on TOI-3884! Post and research led by Jessica Libby-Roberts hpf.psu.edu/2023/05/16/the…

Joint gathering of the NEID and HPF teams at #EPRV5 . Exciting to have such a talented and growing team!

Exciting new result led by Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds postdoc Jessica Libby-Roberts using data from NASA_TESS and HPF confirming one of the first transiting super-Neptunes around a mid-M dwarf TOI-3884.

HPF and NEID joined forces to characterize the exo-Venus GJ 3929b and its companion planet! Check out the story from Corey Beard at the NEID blog. McDonald Observatory

Press release highlighting our recent discovery of TOI-3757 a very low density planet around an M dwarf, characterized using TESS at MIT , HPF and NEID !

Identified in NASA_TESS images using the QLP pipeline from TESS at MIT, we characterize the system using a combination of ARCTIC photometry, NESSI speckle imaging (@WIYNObservatory), HPF and LRS2 (@mcdonaldobs)

New on the #HPF blog: HPF characterizes a potential 'cold Haber world'. What is a cold Haber world, and why might it be habitable? Read on! Blog post+paper led by HPF science team member and UCI Physics & Astro student Corey Beard. tinyurl.com/yc58dr4t McDonald Observatory Suvrath Mahadevan

Congratulations to Shubham Kanodia and Caleb Cañas on their successful Ph.D defenses this week! HPF NEID PSU Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics Shubham Kanodia

Interesting work led by Ryan Terrien with the near-infrared HPF, highlighting the potential of understanding magnetic activity on M dwarfs with the potassium line at 1.2 um.

New paper from Caleb Cañas using HPF and NEID, finds two new Jovian sized planets around early Ms!

Flagged as TOIs by the NASA_TESS FFI search team, TOI-3629b and TOI-3714b represent valuable additions to this sample of < 10!

HPF studies really small stars all the time, but how about really small planets orbiting really close to those really small stars? New result from Caleb Cañas and the team: science.psu.edu/news/mars-size…
