Super Earths, planets between 5-10 Earth masses, are the most common type of exoplanet known, yet are completely absent from our Solar system. As a result, their detailed properties, compositions, and formation mechanisms are poorly understood. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will identify hundreds of Super-Earths orbiting bright stars, for the first time allowing in-depth characterisation of these planets. At the University of Southern Queensland, we are host to the MINERVA-Australis project, dedicated wholly to the follow-up characterisation and mass measurement of TESS planets. We give an update on the status of MINERVA-Australis and our expected performance.

  1. Discovery of an Inflated Hot Neptune and Its Formation from Jovian Mass Loss

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    TOI-2195 A b is an inflated hot Neptune that likely originated as a Jovian planet losing ~90% mass through Roche lobe overflow during EKL-driven high-eccentricity migration triggered by a wide binary companion.

  2. The Spin-orbit alignment of two short period eclipsing binary systems

    astro-ph.SR 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    TIC 48227288 and TIC 339607421, two short-period circular eclipsing binaries, show sky-projected obliquities of about -8 to -18 degrees, indicating minor spin-orbit misalignment.
