The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XLIII. A compact system of four super-Earth planets orbiting HD 215152
J. -B. Delisle, D. Ségransan, X. Dumusque +22
We report the discovery of four super-Earth planets around HD 215152, with orbital periods of 5.76, 7.28, 10.86, and 25.2 d, and minimum masses of 1.8, 1.7, 2.8, and 2.9 M_Earth re…
Three years of Sun-as-a-star radial-velocity observations on the approach to solar minimum
A. Collier Cameron, A. Mortier, D. Phillips +33
The time-variable velocity fields of solar-type stars limit the precision of radial-velocity determinations of their planets' masses, obstructing detection of Earth twins. Since 20…
HARPS-N radial velocities confirm the low densities of the Kepler-9 planets
L. Borsato, L. Malavolta, G. Piotto +20
We investigated the discrepancy between planetary mass determination using the transit timing variations (TTVs) and radial velocities (RVs), by analysing the multi-planet system Ke…
A new wavelength calibration for echelle spectrographs using Fabry-Perot etalons
F. Cersullo, A. Coffinet, B. Chazelas +2
The study of Earth-mass extrasolar planets via the radial-velocity technique and the measurement of the potential cosmological variability of fundamental constants call for very-hi…
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XXXVI. Eight HARPS multi-planet systems hosting 20 super-Earth and Neptune-mass companions
S. Udry, X. Dumusque, C. Lovis +21
We present radial-velocity measurement of eight stars observed with the HARPS Echelle spectrograph mounted on the 3.6-m telescope in La Silla (ESO, Chile). Data span more than ten…
Masses and radii for the three super-Earths orbiting GJ 9827, and implications for the composition of small exoplanets
K. Rice, L. Malavolta, A. Mayo +34
Super-Earths belong to a class of planet not found in the Solar System, but which appear common in the Galaxy. Given that some super-Earths are rocky, while others retain substanti…
Hot, rocky and warm, puffy super-Earths orbiting TOI-402 (HD 15337)
X. Dumusque, O. Turner, C. Dorn +30
TESS is revolutionising the search for planets orbiting bright and nearby stars. In sectors 3 and 4, TESS observed TOI-402 (TIC-120896927), a bright V=9.1 K1 dwarf also known as HD…
So close, so different: characterization of the K2-36 planetary system with HARPS-N
M. Damasso, L. Zeng, L. Malavolta +19
K2-36 is a K dwarf orbited by two small ( and ), close-in (=0.022 AU and =0.054 AU) transiti…
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XXXVIII. Bayesian re-analysis of three systems. New super-Earths, unconfirmed signals, and magnetic cycles
R. F. DÃaz, D. Ségransan, S. Udry +22
We present the analysis of the entire HARPS observations of three stars that host planetary systems: HD1461, HD40307, and HD204313. The data set spans eight years and contains more…
