Stellar Ages of M Dwarf Hosts of Temperate Sub-Neptunes

Lalitha Sairam, Nikku Madhusudhan

Measuring M dwarf ages is a central challenge in stellar astrophysics. These stars evolve so slowly that isochrone fitting gives little constraint, requiring alternative methods ba…

BEBOP VIII. SOPHIE radial velocities reveal an eccentric, circumbinary brown dwarf

Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Thomas A. Baycroft, Neda Heidari +18

Circumbinary configurations offer a test of planet formation in an altered environment, where the inner binary has perturbed a protoplanetary disc. Comparisons of the physical and…

BEBOP VII. SOPHIE discovery of BEBOP-3b, a circumbinary giant planet on an eccentric orbit

Thomas A. Baycroft, Alexandre Santerne, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud +21

Planetary systems orbiting close binaries are valuable testing grounds for planet formation and migration models. More detections with good mass measurements are needed. We present…

Evidence for a polar circumbinary exoplanet orbiting a pair of eclipsing brown dwarfs

Thomas A. Baycroft, Lalitha Sairam, Amaury H. M. J Triaud +1

One notable example of exoplanet diversity is the population of circumbinary planets, which orbit around both stars of a binary star system. There are so far only 16 known circumbi…

Characterising M dwarf host stars of two candidate Hycean worlds

Lalitha Sairam, Nikku Madhusudhan

Planetary systems orbiting M dwarf host stars are promising targets for atmospheric characterisation of low-mass exoplanets. Accurate characterisation of M dwarf hosts is important…

BEBOP VI. Enabling the detection of circumbinary planets orbiting double-lined binaries with the DOLBY method of radial-velocity extraction

Lalitha Sairam, Thomas A. Baycroft, Isabelle Boisse +13

Circumbinary planets - planets that orbit both stars in a binary system - offer the opportunity to study planet formation and orbital migration in a different environment compare t…

BEBOP V. Homogeneous Stellar Analysis of Potential Circumbinary Planet Hosts

Alix V. Freckelton, Daniel Sebastian, Annelies Mortier +29

Planets orbiting binary systems are relatively unexplored compared to those around single stars. Detections of circumbinary planets and planetary systems offer a first detailed vie…

The EBLM Project XII. An eccentric, long-period eclipsing binary with a companion near the hydrogen-burning limit

Yasmin T. Davis, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Alix V. Freckelton +17

In the hunt for Earth-like exoplanets it is crucial to have reliable host star parameters, as they have a direct impact on the accuracy and precision of the inferred parameters for…

New methods for radial-velocity measurements of double-lined binaries, and detection of a circumbinary planet orbiting TIC 172900988

Lalitha Sairam, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Thomas A. Baycroft +8

Ongoing ground-based radial-velocity observations seeking to detect circumbinary planets focus on single-lined binaries even though over nine in every ten binary systems in the sol…

Surface activity of rapidly rotating stars from simultaneous X-ray and UV observations with AstroSat

Lalitha Sairam, Utkarsh Pathak, Kulinder Pal Singh

Our study focuses on analysing the coronal, transition and chromospheric activity of four rapidly rotating stars located within 50 pc in the solar neighbourhood. We have used the m…

Radial-velocity discovery of a second planet in the TOI-1338/BEBOP-1 circumbinary system

Matthew R. Standing, Lalitha Sairam, David V. Martin +24

We report the detection of a gas-giant planet in orbit around both stars of an eclipsing binary star system that also contains the smaller, inner transiting planet TOI-1338b. The n…

The EBLM project X. Benchmark masses, radii and temperatures for two fully convective M-dwarfs using K2

Alison Duck, David V. Martin, Sam Gill +23

M-dwarfs are the most abundant stars in the galaxy and popular targets for exoplanet searches. However, their intrinsic faintness and complex spectra inhibit precise characterisati…

The need for a public forecast of stellar activity to optimise exoplanet radial velocity detections & transmission spectroscopy

Lalitha Sairam, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud

Advances in high-precision spectrographs have paved the way for the search for an Earth analogue orbiting a Sun-like star within its habitable zone. However, the research community…

BEBOP III. Observations and an independent mass measurement of Kepler-16 (AB) b -- the first circumbinary planet detected with radial velocities

Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Matthew R. Standing, Neda Heidari +30

The radial velocity method is amongst the most robust and most established means of detecting exoplanets. Yet, it has so far failed to detect circumbinary planets despite their rel…

BEBOP II: Sensitivity to sub-Saturn circumbinary planets using radial-velocities

Matthew R. Standing, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, João P. Faria +14

BEBOP is a radial-velocity survey that monitors a sample of single-lined eclipsing binaries, in search of circumbinary planets by using high-resolution spectrographs. Here, we desc…

Atmospheric mass loss of extrasolar planets orbiting magnetically active host stars

Lalitha Sairam, J. H. M. M. Schmitt, Spandan Dash

Magnetic stellar activity of exoplanet hosts can lead to the production of large amounts of high-energy emission, which irradiates extrasolar planets, located in the immediate vici…
