The PLATO Mission
Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
A fading radius valley towards M-dwarfs, a persistent density valley across stellar types
Julia Venturini, María Paula Ronco, Octavio M. Guilera +3
The radius valley separating super-Earths from mini-Neptunes is a fundamental benchmark for theories of planet formation and evolution. Observations show that the location of the r…
A radius valley between migrated steam worlds and evaporated rocky cores
Remo Burn, Christoph Mordasini, Lokesh Mishra +4
The radius valley (or gap) in the observed distribution of exoplanet radii, which separates smaller super-Earths from larger sub-Neptunes, is a key feature that theoretical models…
The Nominal Range of Rocky Planet Masses, Radii, Surface Gravities and Bulk Densities
Cayman T. Unterborn, Steven J. Desch, Jonas Haldemann +4
The two primary observable quantities of an exoplanet--its mass and radius--alone are not sufficient to probe a rocky exoplanet's interior composition and mineralogy. To overcome t…
Exoplanet Characterization using Conditional Invertible Neural Networks
Jonas Haldemann, Victor Ksoll, Daniel Walter +6
The characterization of an exoplanet's interior is an inverse problem, which requires statistical methods such as Bayesian inference in order to be solved. Current methods employ M…
A pair of Sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 characterised with CHEOPS
Thomas G. Wilson, Elisa Goffo, Yann Alibert +132
We report the discovery and characterisation of a pair of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 (TIC 79748331), initially detected in TESS photometry. To characterise…
Warm terrestrial planet with half the mass of Venus transiting a nearby star
Olivier D. S. Demangeon, M. R. Zapatero Osorio, Y. Alibert +42
The advent of a new generation of radial velocity instruments has allowed us to break the one Earth-mass barrier. We report a new milestone in this context with the detection of th…
Transit detection of the long-period volatile-rich super-Earth Lupi d with
Laetitia Delrez, David Ehrenreich, Yann Alibert +75
Exoplanets transiting bright nearby stars are key objects for advancing our knowledge of planetary formation and evolution. The wealth of photons from the host star gives detailed…
A sub-Neptune and a non-transiting Neptune-mass companion unveiled by ESPRESSO around the bright late-F dwarf HD 5278 (TOI-130)
A. Sozzetti, M. Damasso, A. S. Bonomo +45
[Abridged] We exploit the extreme radial velocity (RV) precision of the ultra-stable echelle spectrograph ESPRESSO on the VLT to unveil the physical properties of the transiting su…
Six transiting planets and a chain of Laplace resonances in TOI-178
A. Leleu, Y. Alibert, N. C. Hara +152
Determining the architecture of multi-planetary systems is one of the cornerstones of understanding planet formation and evolution. Resonant systems are especially important as the…
K2-111: an old system with two planets in near-resonance
A. Mortier, M. R. Zapatero Osorio, L. Malavolta +64
This paper reports on the detailed characterisation of the K2-111 planetary system with K2, WASP, and ASAS-SN photometry as well as high-resolution spectroscopic data from HARPS-N…
Refining the transit timing and photometric analysis of TRAPPIST-1: Masses, radii, densities, dynamics, and ephemerides
Eric Agol, Caroline Dorn, Simon L. Grimm +32
We have collected transit times for the TRAPPIST-1 system with the Spitzer Space Telescope over four years. We add to these ground-based, HST and K2 transit time measurements, and…
AQUA: A Collection of HO Equations of State for Planetary Models
Jonas Haldemann, Yann Alibert, Christoph Mordasini +1
Water is one of the key chemical elements in planetary structure modelling. Due to its complex phase diagram, equations of state cover often only parts of the pressure - temperatur…
A super-Earth and a sub-Neptune orbiting the bright, quiet M3 dwarf TOI-1266
B. -O. Demory, F. J. Pozuelos, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +70
We report the discovery and characterisation of a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune transiting the bright (), quiet, and nearby (37 pc) M3V dwarf TOI-1266. We validate the plane…
TOI-824 b: A New Planet on the Lower Edge of the Hot Neptune Desert
Jennifer A. Burt, Louise D. Nielsen, Samuel N. Quinn +54
We report the detection of a transiting hot Neptune exoplanet orbiting TOI-824 (SCR J1448-5735), a nearby (d = 64 pc) K4V star, using data from the \textit{Transiting Exoplanet Sur…
The Nature of the Radius Valley: Hints from Formation and Evolution Models
Julia Venturini, Octavio M. Guilera, Jonas Haldemann +2
The existence of a Radius Valley in the Kepler size distribution stands as one of the most important observational constraints to understand the origin and composition of exoplanet…
TESS Reveals a Short-period Sub-Neptune Sibling (HD 86226c) to a Known Long-period Giant Planet
Johanna Teske, Matías R. Díaz, Rafael Luque +44
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission was designed to find transiting planets around bright, nearby stars. Here we present the detection and mass measurement of a small…
Planetary mass-radius relations across the galaxy
A. Michel, J. Haldemann, C. Mordasini +1
Planet formation theory suggests that planet bulk compositions are likely to reflect the chemical abundance ratios of their host star's photosphere. Variations in the abundance of…
Impact of the measured parameters of exoplanets on the inferred internal structure
J. F. Otegi, C. Dorn, R. Helled +3
Exoplanet characterization is one of the main foci of current exoplanetary science. For super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, we mostly rely on mass and radius measurements, which allow t…
