CORALIE radial-velocity search for companions around evolved stars (CASCADES) V. Three planetary companions and achievable precision
P. Figueira, E. Fontanet, J. P. Faria +9
Aims. We expand the planetary census around massive stellar hosts through a long-term campaign of high-precision radial velocity (RV) measurements on evolved stars. Methods. We ana…
The small transiting planet population revealed by ESPRESSO with extreme precision radial velocities
M. J. Hobson, B. Lavie, F. Bouchy +35
Small planets are extremely common in the Galaxy, including planets with masses and radii between those of Earth and Neptune. Characterizing these planets' masses requires ultra-pr…
TOI-2322: two transiting rocky planets close to the stellar rotation period and its first harmonic
M. J. Hobson, A. Suárez Mascareño, C. Lovis +42
Context. Active regions on the stellar surface can induce quasi-periodic radial velocity (RV) variations that can mimic planets and mask true planetary signals. These spurious sign…
Blind search for activity-sensitive lines in the near-infrared using HARPS and NIRPS observations of Proxima and Gl 581
João Gomes da Silva, Elisa Delgado-Mena, Nuno C. Santos +145
Stellar activity variability is one of the main obstacles to the detection of Earth-like planets using the RV method. The aim of this work is to measure the effect of activity in t…
