Validation of a 135 Myr, 3.6 R_E transiting planet with aligned obliquity and TTV evidence for a near-resonant companion.
A simulated 2.5-year multi-band photometric survey is projected to detect ~100 young transiting planets, sufficient to measure their occurrence rate to 5% precision and differentiate gas-dwarf versus water-world formation scenarios.
Hydrogen-silicate miscibility stores hydrogen in sub-Neptune interiors, resupplies escaping envelopes, delays contraction, matches young-planet observations, and enables a population test requiring 70-100 targets under 100 Myr.
Three new hot Jupiters (periods 1.8-4 days, radii 1.22-1.58 RJup, masses 0.36-0.87 MJup) around evolved stars aged 4-9 Gyr, extending the sample for hot Jupiter evolutionary studies.
The Nautilus Space Observatory white paper outlines four science objectives for tracking planetary evolution timescales, atmospheric mass loss, mean molecular weight and C/O changes, and helium-dominated worlds using proposed high-resolution, broad-wavelength telescope capabilities.

Testing the prevalence of hydrogen-silicate miscibility in young sub-Neptunes
Hydrogen-silicate miscibility stores hydrogen in sub-Neptune interiors, resupplies escaping envelopes, delays contraction, matches young-planet observations, and enables a population test requiring 70-100 targets under 100 Myr.
