About
D. Kossakowski is a leading figure in exoplanet discovery and characterization, with a particular focus on the detection and orbital architecture of giant planets around Sun-like and K-dwarf stars. Their most cited work, the 2021 paper "A Pair of Warm Giant Planets near the 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance around the K-dwarf Star TOI-2202" (31 citations), exemplifies their major contribution: identifying and confirming complex multi-planet systems in mean-motion resonances using TESS data and ground-based follow-up. This study revealed TOI-2202 b, a warm Jovian planet transiting every 11.91 days, and its companion, demonstrating the power of combining space-based photometry with precise radial velocity measurements from facilities like the CHAT robotic telescope. Kossakowski’s research has significantly advanced our understanding of planet formation and migration, particularly how giant planets can become trapped in resonant chains. Their work on TOI-2202, alongside other discoveries, has provided key empirical constraints for theoretical models of planetary system evolution, making them a respected voice in the exoplanet community.
