A 43 day transiting Neptune and two 25 day Saturns from TESS, NGTS and ASTEP
Alicia Kendall, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +53
Beyond orbital periods of 10 days, there is a dearth of known transiting gas giants. On longer orbits, planets are less affected by their host star, and become ideal probes of plan…
NIRPS and TESS reveal a peculiar system around the M dwarf TOI-756: A transiting sub-Neptune and a cold eccentric giant
Léna Parc, François Bouchy, Neil J. Cook +148
The Near InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) joined HARPS on the 3.6-m ESO telescope at La Silla Observatory in April 2023, dedicating part of its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) p…
NGTS-11 c: a transiting Neptune-mass planet interior to the warm Saturn NGTS-11 b
David R. Anderson, Jose I. Vines, Katharine Hesse +56
We report the discovery of NGTS-11 c, a transiting warm Neptune ( d; ; ), in an…
NGTS-EB-8: A double-lined eclipsing M+M binary discovered by citizen scientists
Sean M. O'Brien, Megan E. Schwamb, Christopher A. Watson +54
We report the identification and characterization of a new binary system composed of two near-equal mass M-dwarfs. The binary NGTS-EB-8 was identified as a planet candidate in data…
A Cold and Super-Puffy Planet on a Prograde Orbit
Juan I. Espinoza-Retamal, Rafael Brahm, Cristobal Petrovich +36
We report the discovery of TOI-4507 b, a transiting sub-Saturn with a density 0.2 g/cm on a 105-day prograde orbit around a 700 Myr old F star. The transits were detected u…
Quantifying thermal water dissociation in the dayside photosphere of WASP-121 b using NIRPS
Luc Bazinet, Romain Allart, Björn Benneke +119
The intense stellar irradiation of ultra-hot Jupiters results in some of the most extreme atmospheric environments in the planetary regime. On their daysides, temperatures can be s…
NIRPS joining HARPS at ESO 3.6 m. On-sky performance and science objectives
Francois Bouchy, Rene Doyon, Francesco Pepe +131
The Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) is a high-resolution, high-stability near-infrared (NIR) spectrograph equipped with an AO system. Installed on the ESO 3.6-m telescope, it…
Diving into the planetary system of Proxima with NIRPS -- Breaking the metre per second barrier in the infrared
Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, Étienne Artigau, Lucile Mignon +138
We obtained 420 high-resolution spectra of Proxima, over 159 nights, using the Near Infra Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS). We derived 149 nightly binned radial velocity measurements wi…
Studying the variability of the He triplet to understand the detection limits of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres
Samson J. Mercier, Xavier Dumusque, Vincent Bourrier +20
With more than a dozen significant detections, the helium triplet has emerged as a key tracer of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres. This near-infrared feature can be observed from…
NIRPS detection of delayed atmospheric escape from the warm and misaligned Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-69b
Romain Allart, Yann Carteret, Vincent Bourrier +119
Near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrographs unlock access to fundamental properties of exoplanets, from their atmospheric escape and composition to their orbital architectu…
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…
TOI-880 is an Aligned, Coplanar, Multi-planet System
Elina Y. Zhang, Huan-Yu Teng, Fei Dai +22
Although many cases of stellar spin-orbit misalignment are known, it is usually unclear whether a single planet's orbit was tilted or if the entire protoplanetary disk was misalign…
The TOI-1117 Multi-planetary System: 3 sub-Neptunes, 1 in both the Neptunian Desert and Radius Valley
Isobel S. Lockley, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández +33
We present the discovery of three sub-Neptune planets around TOI-1117, a Sun-like star with mass , radius , age Gyr and ef…
Exploring the Neptunian Desert: Insights from a Homogeneous Planetary Sample
Lauren Doyle, David J. Armstrong, Lorena Acuña +26
In this paper, we present a homogeneous analysis of close-in Neptune planets. To do this, we compile a sample of TESS-observed planets using a ranking criterion which takes into ac…
