Night-sky emission correction techniques for high-resolution spectroscopy: Demonstration with NIRPS
Avidaan Srivastava, François Bouchy, Xavier Dumusque +54
Ground-based spectrographs operating in the near-infrared (NIR) regime are hampered by various absorption and emission features of Earth's atmosphere. While considerable attention…
TOI-3288 b and TOI-4666 b: two gas giants transiting low-mass stars characterised by NIRPS
Yolanda G. C. Frensch, François Bouchy, Gaspare Lo Curto +62
Gas giant planets orbiting low-mass stars are uncommon outcomes of planet formation. Increasing the sample of well-characterised giants around early M dwarfs will enable population…
Hydride ion continuum hides absorption signatures in the NIRPS near-infrared transmission spectrum of the ultra-hot gas giant WASP-189b
Valentina Vaulato, Stefan Pelletier, David Ehrenreich +77
Ultra-hot Jupiters showcase extreme atmospheric conditions, including molecular dissociation, ionisation, and significant day-to-night temperature contrasts. Their close proximity…
A comprehensive study on radial velocity signals using ESPRESSO: Pushing precision to the 10 cm/s level
P. Figueira, J. P. Faria, A. M. Silva +30
We analyse ESPRESSO data for the stars HD10700, HD20794, HD102365, and HD304636 acquired via its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) programme. We characterise the stars' radial vel…
ESPRESSO reveals blueshifted neutral iron emission lines on the dayside of WASP-76 b
A. R. Costa Silva, O. D. S. Demangeon, N. C. Santos +34
Ultra hot Jupiters (gas giants, Teq>2000 K) are intriguing exoplanets due to their extreme atmospheres. Their torrid daysides can be characterised using ground-based high-resolutio…
NIRPS first light and early science: breaking the 1 m/s RV precision barrier at infrared wavelengths
Étienne Artigau, François Bouchy, René Doyon +111
The Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher or NIRPS is a precision radial velocity spectrograph developed through collaborative efforts among laboratories in Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, Fr…
New Mass and Radius Constraints on the LHS 1140 Planets -- LHS 1140 b is Either a Temperate Mini-Neptune or a Water World
Charles Cadieux, Mykhaylo Plotnykov, René Doyon +43
The two-planet transiting system LHS 1140 has been extensively observed since its discovery in 2017, notably with , HST, TESS, and ESPRESSO, placing strong constraints on…
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XLVI: 12 super-Earths around the solar type stars HD39194, HD93385, HD96700, HD154088, and HD189567
N. Unger, D. Ségransan, D. Queloz +23
Context. We present precise radial-velocity measurements of five solar-type stars observed with the HARPS Echelle spectrograph mounted on the 3.6-m telescope in La Silla (ESO, Chil…
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…
Measuring and characterizing the line profile of HARPS with a laser frequency comb
Fei Zhao, G. Lo Curto, L. Pasquini +13
Aims. We study the 2D spectral line profile of HARPS (High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher), measuring its variation with position across the detector and with changing li…
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…
A crucial test for astronomical spectrograph calibration with frequency combs
Rafael A. Probst, Dinko Milaković, Borja Toledo-Padrón +23
Laser frequency combs (LFCs) are well on their way to becoming the next-generation calibration sources for precision astronomical spectroscopy. This development is considered key i…
Rotational and rotational-vibrational Raman spectroscopy of air to characterize astronomical spectrographs
F. P. A. Vogt, F. Kerber, A. Mehner +14
Raman scattering enables unforeseen uses for the laser guide-star system of the Very Large Telescope. Here, we present the observation of one up-link sodium laser beam acquired wit…
Stellar Variability of the Exoplanet Hosting Star HD 63454
