A transiting rocky super-Earth and a non-transiting sub-Neptune orbiting the M dwarf TOI-771

G. Lacedelli, E. Pallé, Y. T. Davis +24

The origin and evolution of the sub-Neptune population is a highly debated topic in the exoplanet community. With the advent of JWST, atmospheric studies can now put unprecedented…

Titanium chemistry of WASP-121 b with ESPRESSO in 4-UT mode

B. Prinoth, J. V. Seidel, H. J. Hoeijmakers +15

Transit spectroscopy usually relies on the integration of one or several transits to achieve the S/N necessary to resolve spectral features. Consequently, high-S/N observations of…

The obliquity and atmosphere of the hot Jupiter WASP-122b (KELT-14b) with ESPRESSO: An aligned orbit and no sign of atomic or molecular absorption

M. Stangret, E. Palle, E. Esparza-Borges +21

Thanks to their short orbital periods and hot extended atmospheres, hot Jupiters are ideal candidates for atmosphere studies with high-resolution spectroscopy. New stable spectrogr…

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…

Characterisation of TOI-406 as showcase of the THIRSTEE program: A 2-planet system straddling the M-dwarf density gap

G. Lacedelli, E. Pallè, R. Luque +31

The exoplanet sub-Neptune population currently poses a conundrum, as to whether small-size planets are volatile-rich cores without an atmosphere, or rocky cores surrounded by a H-H…

TESS and ESPRESSO discover a super-Earth and a mini-Neptune orbiting the K-dwarf TOI-238

A. Suárez Mascareño, V. M. Passegger, J. I. González Hernández +53

The number of super-Earth and mini-Neptune planet discoveries has increased significantly in the last two decades thanks to transit and radial velocity surveys. When it is possible…

CARMENES input catalog of M dwarfs: VII. New rotation periods for the survey stars and their correlations with stellar activity

Yutong Shan, Daniel Revilla, Sebastian L. Skrzypinski +40

Abridged: We measured photometric and spectroscopic for a large sample of nearby bright M dwarfs with spectral types from M0 to M9, as part of our continual effort to…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. A long-period planet around GJ 1151 measured with CARMENES and HARPS-N data

J. Blanco-Pozo, M. Perger, M. Damasso +37

Detecting a planetary companion in a short-period orbit through radio emission from the interaction with its host star is a new prospect in exoplanet science. Recently, a tantalisi…

HD22496b: the first ESPRESSO standalone planet discovery

J. Lillo-Box, J. P. Faria, A. Suárez Mascareño +32

The ESPRESSO spectrograph is a new powerful tool to detect and characterize extrasolar planets. Its design allows unprecedented radial velocity precision (down to a few tens of cm/…

Discriminating between hazy and clear hot-Jupiter atmospheres with CARMENES

A. Sánchez-López, M. López-Puertas, I. A. G. Snellen +20

Context: Relatively large radii of some hot Jupiters observed in the ultraviolet (UV) and blue-optical are generally interpreted to be due to Rayleigh scattering by high-altitude h…
