Stellar-activity analysis of the nearby M dwarf GJ 526. Multi-dimensional Gaussian-process modelling of RV, FWHM and S-index

A. K. Stefanov, J. I. González Hernández, A. Suárez Mascareño +17

M dwarfs are the most abundant stars in the Galaxy, and their low masses make them natural favourites for exoplanet radial-velocity (RV) searches. Nevertheless, these stars often d…

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…

A comprehensive study on radial velocity signals using ESPRESSO: Pushing precision to the 10 cm/s level

P. Figueira, J. P. Faria, A. M. Silva +30

We analyse ESPRESSO data for the stars HD10700, HD20794, HD102365, and HD304636 acquired via its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) programme. We characterise the stars' radial vel…

A systematic bias in template-based RV extraction algorithms

André M. Silva, N. C. Santos, J. P. Faria +30

In this paper we identify and explore a previously unidentified, multi meter-per-second, systematic correlation between time and RVs inferred through TM and LBL methods. We evaluat…

CORALIE radial-velocity search for companions around evolved stars (CASCADES) IV: New planetary systems around HD 87816, HD 94890, and HD 102888 and an update on HD 121056

E. Fontanet, S. Udry, D. Ségransan +25

With around 200 detections of exoplanets around giant stars to date, our knowledge of the population of exoplanets orbiting evolved hosts more massive than the Sun remains limited.…

Three Hot Jupiters transiting K-dwarfs with a significant heavy element mass

Y. G. C. Frensch, F. Bouchy, G. Lo Curto +50

Albeit at a lower frequency than around hotter stars, short-period gas giants around low-mass stars ( K) do exist, despite predictions from planetary populat…

In-depth characterization of the Kepler-10 three-planet system with HARPS-N radial velocities and Kepler transit timing variations

A. S. Bonomo, L. Borsato, V. M. Rajpaul +25

The old G3V star Kepler-10 is known to host two transiting planets, the ultra-short-period super-Earth Kepler-10b ( d; ) and the long-period s…

Two neighbours of the ultra-short-period Earth-sized planet K2-157 b in the warm Neptunian savanna

A. Castro-González, F. Bouchy, A. C. M. Correia +30

The formation and evolution of ultra-short-period (USP) planets is poorly understood. However, it is widely thought that these planets migrated inwards through interactions with ou…

TOI-512: Super-Earth transiting a K-type star discovered by TESS and ESPRESSO

J. Rodrigues, S. C. Barros, N. C. Santos +38

One of the goals of the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTOs) at the ESO 8.2m telescope is to follow up on candidate planets from transit surveys such as the TESS mission. H…

A sub-Earth-mass planet orbiting Barnard's star

J. I. Gonzalez Hernandez, A. Suarez Mascareno, A. M. Silva +37

Barnard's star is a primary target within the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTO) as it is the second closest neighbour to our Sun after the Centauri stellar system. We…

ESPRESSO reveals blueshifted neutral iron emission lines on the dayside of WASP-76 b

A. R. Costa Silva, O. D. S. Demangeon, N. C. Santos +34

Ultra hot Jupiters (gas giants, Teq>2000 K) are intriguing exoplanets due to their extreme atmospheres. Their torrid daysides can be characterised using ground-based high-resolutio…
