Catherine Clark, 2024, "The TESS-Keck Survey XX: Mass Catalog and Data Release", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.PBE9NW, Astronomical Journal, JPL Open Repository
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered thousands of new worlds with TESS52 planet candidates now outnumbering the total number of confirmed planets from Kepler. Owing to53 differences in survey design, TESS continues to provide planets that are more amena... |

Catherine Clark, 2024, "VaTEST III: Validation of 8 Potential Super-Earths from TESS Data", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.HN8VQZ, Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, JPL Open Repository
NASA’s all-sky survey mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is specifically engineered to detect exoplanets that transit bright stars. Thus far, TESS has successfully identified approximately 400 transiting exoplanets, in addition to roughly 6000 candidate ex... |

Catherine Clark, 2024, "Identification of the Top TESS Objects of Interest for Atmospheric Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets with JWST", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.QZQUTU, Astronomical Journal, JPL Open Repository
JWST has ushered in an era of unprecedented ability to characterize exoplanetary atmospheres. While there are over 5,000 confirmed planets, more than 4,000 TESS planet candidates are still unconfirmed and many of the best planets for atmospheric characterization may remain to be... |

Catherine Clark, 2024, "NGTS-28Ab: A short period transiting brown dwarf", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.NVKF8M, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, JPL Open Repository
We report the discovery of a brown dwarf orbiting a M1 host star. We first identified the brown dwarf within the Next Generation Transit Survey data, with supporting observations found in TESS sectors 11 and 38. We confirmed the discovery with follow-up photometry from the South... |

Catherine Clark, 2024, "The POKEMON Speckle Survey of Nearby M dwarfs. III. The Stellar Multiplicity Rate of M Dwarfs Within 15 pc", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.DEXXTE, Astronomical Journal, JPL Open Repository
M dwarfs are ubiquitous in our galaxy, and the rate at which they host stellar companions, and the10 properties of these companions, provides a window into the formation and evolution of the star(s),11 and of any planets that they may host. The Pervasive Overview of ‘Kompanions’... |
