Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars -- V. The circumbinary planet system EBLM J0608-59

P. F. L. Maxted, N. J. Miller, D. Sebastian +3

EBLM J0608-59 / TOI-1338 / BEBOP-1 is a 12th-magnitude, F9V star in an eclipsing binary with a much fainter M-dwarf companion on a wide, eccentric orbit (P=14.6 d). The binary is o…

Advancing accuracy in age determinations of old-disk stars using an oscillating red giant in an eclipsing binary

J. S. Thomsen, A. Miglio, K. Brogaard +26

The study of resonant oscillation modes in low-mass red giant branch stars enables their ages to be inferred with exceptional (10%) precision, unlocking the possibility to re…

The EBLM Project XI. Mass, radius and effective temperature measurements for 23 M-dwarf companions to solar-type stars observed with CHEOPS

M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted, A. H. M. J. Triaud +104

Observations of low-mass stars have frequently shown a disagreement between observed stellar radii and radii predicted by theoretical stellar structure models. This ``radius inflat…

TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf

F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44

Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…

Two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an Earth-sized candidate in the M5V-M6V binary system TOI-2267

S. Zúñiga-Fernández, F. J. Pozuelos, M. Dévora-Pajares +63

We report two warm Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting the close binary TOI-2267 (M5+M6, separation ~8 au). Data from TESS and ground-based facilities confirm the planets, but we canno…

Precise near-infrared photometry, accounting for precipitable water vapour at SPECULOOS Southern Observatory

Peter P. Pedersen, C. A. Murray, D. Queloz +20

The variability induced by precipitable water vapour (PWV) can heavily affect the accuracy of time-series photometric measurements gathered from the ground, especially in the near-…
