The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs: Two Saturn-mass planets orbiting active stars

A. Quirrenbach, V. M. Passegger, T. Trifonov +26

The CARMENES radial-velocity survey is currently searching for planets in a sample of 387 M dwarfs. Here we report on two Saturn-mass planets orbiting TYC 2187-512-1 ($M_\star = 0.…

Precise mass and radius of a transiting super-Earth planet orbiting the M dwarf TOI-1235: a planet in the radius gap?

P. Bluhm, R. Luque, N. Espinoza +78

We report the confirmation of a transiting planet around the bright, inactive M0.5 V star TOI-1235 (TYC 4384-1735-1, V = 11.5 mag), whose transit signal was detected in the photome…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. A super-Earth planet orbiting HD 79211 (GJ 338 B)

E. González-Álvarez, M. R. Zapatero Osorio, J. A. Caballero +27

We report on radial velocity time series for two M0.0V stars, GJ338B and GJ338A, using the CARMENES spectrograph, complemented by ground-telescope photometry from Las Cumbres and S…

Age dating of an early Milky Way merger via asteroseismology of the naked-eye star Indi

William J. Chaplin, Aldo M. Serenelli, Andrea Miglio +81

Over the course of its history, the Milky Way has ingested multiple smaller satellite galaxies. While these accreted stellar populations can be forensically identified as kinematic…

TOI-132 b: A short-period planet in the Neptune desert transiting a G-type star

Matías R. Díaz, James S. Jenkins, Davide Gandolfi +45

The Neptune desert is a feature seen in the radius-mass-period plane, whereby a notable dearth of short period, Neptune-like planets is found. Here we report the {\it TESS} discove…

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…

Greening of the Brown Dwarf Desert. EPIC 212036875 b -- a 51 M object in a 5 day orbit around an F7 V star

Carina M. Persson, Szilárd Csizmadia, Alexander J. Mustill +55

Our aim is to investigate the nature and formation of brown dwarfs by adding a new well-characterised object to the small sample of less than 20 transiting brown dwarfs. One brown…

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…
