TOI-431/HIP 26013: A super-Earth and a sub-Neptune transiting a bright, early K dwarf, with a third RV planet
We present the bright (Vmag = 9.12), multiplanet system TOI-431, characterized with photometry and radial velocities (RVs). We estimate the stellar rotation period to be 30.5 ± 0.7 d using archival photometry and RVs. Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) objects of Interest (TOI)-431 b is a super-Earth with a period of 0.49 d, a radius of 1.28 ± 0.04 R, a mass of 3.07 ± 0.35 M, and a density of 8.0 ± 1.0 g cm-3; TOI-431 d is a sub-Neptune with a period of 12.46 d, a radius of 3.29 ± 0.09 R, a mass of 9.90+1.53-1.49 M, and a density of 1.36 ± 0.25 g cm-3. We find a third planet, TOI-431 c, in the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher RV data, but it is not seen to transit in the TESS light curves. It has an Msin i of 2.83+0.41-0.34 M, and a period of 4.85 d. TOI-431 d likely has an extended atmosphere and is one of the most well-suited TESS discoveries for atmospheric characterization, while the super-Earth TOI-431 b may be a stripped core. These planets straddle the radius gap, presenting an interesting case-study for atmospheric evolution, and TOI-431 b is a prime TESS discovery for the study of rocky planet phase curves

Time and frequency structure of causal correlation networks in the China bond market
There are more than eight hundred interest rates published in China bond
market every day. Which are the benchmark interest rates that have broad
influences on most interest rates is a major concern for economists. In this
paper, multi-variable Granger causality test is developed and applied to
construct a directed network of interest rates, whose important nodes, regarded
as key interest rates, are evaluated with inverse Page Rank scores. The results
indicate that some short-term interest rates have larger influences on the most
key interest rates, while repo rates are the benchmark of short-term rates. It
is also found that central bank bills'rates are in the core position of
mid-term interest rates'network, and treasury bond rates are leading the
long-term bonds rates. The evolution of benchmark interest rates is also
studied from 2008 to 2014, and it's found that SHIBOR has generally become the
benchmark interest rate in China. In the frequency domain we detect the
properties of information flows between interest rates and the result confirms
the existence of market segmentation in China bond market.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
