Fundamental physics with Espresso: Towards an accurate wavelength calibration for a precision test of the fine-structure constant
Tobias M. Schmidt, Paolo Molaro, Michael T. Murphy +56
Observations of metal absorption systems in the spectra of distant quasars allow to constrain a possible variation of the fine-structure constant throughout the history of the Univ…
ESPRESSO@VLT -- On-sky performance and first results
F. Pepe, S. Cristiani, R. Rebolo +97
ESPRESSO is the new high-resolution spectrograph of ESO's Very-Large Telescope (VLT). It was designed for ultra-high radial-velocity precision and extreme spectral fidelity with th…
A precise architecture characterization of the Men planetary system
M. Damasso, A. Sozzetti, C. Lovis +97
The bright star Men was chosen as the first target for a radial velocity follow-up to test the performance of ESPRESSO, the new high-resolution spectrograph at the ESO's Very-L…
Characterization of the K2-38 planetary system. Unraveling one of the densest planets known to date
B. Toledo-Padrón, C. Lovis, A. Suárez Mascareño +90
We characterized the transiting planetary system orbiting the G2V star K2-38 using the new-generation echelle spectrograph ESPRESSO. We carried out a photometric analysis of the av…
Revisiting Proxima with ESPRESSO
A. Suárez Mascareño, J. P. Faria, P. Figueira +88
We aim to confirm the presence of Proxima b using independent measurements obtained with the new ESPRESSO spectrograph, and refine the planetary parameters taking advantage of its…
Nightside condensation of iron in an ultra-hot giant exoplanet
David Ehrenreich, Christophe Lovis, Romain Allart +94
Ultra-hot giant exoplanets receive thousands of times Earth's insolation. Their high-temperature atmospheres (>2,000 K) are ideal laboratories for studying extreme planetary climat…
