A giant exoplanet orbiting a very low-mass star challenges planet formation models

J. C. Morales, A. J. Mustill, I. Ribas +179

Statistical analyses from exoplanet surveys around low-mass stars indicate that super-Earth and Neptune-mass planets are more frequent than gas giants around such stars, in agreeme…

A systematic approach to determining the properties of an iodine absorption cell for high-precision radial velocity measurements

V. Perdelwitz, P. Huke

Absorption cells filled with diatomic iodine are frequently employed as wavelength reference for high-precision stellar radial velocity determination due their long-term stability…

Comparing the emission spectra of U and Th hollow cathode lamps and a new U line-list

L. F. Sarmiento, A. Reiners, P. Huke +4

Thorium hollow cathode lamps (HCLs) are used as frequency calibrators for many high resolution astronomical spectrographs, some of which aim for Doppler precision at the 1 m/s leve…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Two temperate Earth-mass planet candidates around Teegarden's Star

M. Zechmeister, S. Dreizler, I. Ribas +182

Context. Teegarden's Star is the brightest and one of the nearest ultra-cool dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. For its late spectral type (M7.0V), the star shows relatively little…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. First visual-channel radial-velocity measurements and orbital parameter updates of seven M-dwarf planetary systems

T. Trifonov, M. Kürster, M. Zechmeister +166

Context: The main goal of the CARMENES survey is to find Earth-mass planets around nearby M-dwarf stars. Seven M-dwarfs included in the CARMENES sample had been observed before wit…

EELT-HIRES the high-resolution spectrograph for the E-ELT

A. Marconi, P. Di Marcantonio, V. D'Odorico +70

The first generation of E-ELT instruments will include an optical-infrared High Resolution Spectrograph, conventionally indicated as EELT-HIRES, which will be capable of providing…
