TOI-2322: two transiting rocky planets close to the stellar rotation period and its first harmonic

M. J. Hobson, A. Suárez Mascareño, C. Lovis +42

Context. Active regions on the stellar surface can induce quasi-periodic radial velocity (RV) variations that can mimic planets and mask true planetary signals. These spurious sign…

A systematic bias in template-based RV extraction algorithms

André M. Silva, N. C. Santos, J. P. Faria +30

In this paper we identify and explore a previously unidentified, multi meter-per-second, systematic correlation between time and RVs inferred through TM and LBL methods. We evaluat…

The ESPRESSO transmission spectrum of HD189733b : Extracting the planetary sodium and lithium signatures amid stellar contamination

D. Mounzer, W. Dethier, C. Lovis +20

While transmission spectroscopy has allowed us to detect many atomic and molecular species in exoplanet atmospheres, the improvement in resolution and signal-to-noise ratio enabled…

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…

Two neighbours of the ultra-short-period Earth-sized planet K2-157 b in the warm Neptunian savanna

A. Castro-González, F. Bouchy, A. C. M. Correia +30

The formation and evolution of ultra-short-period (USP) planets is poorly understood. However, it is widely thought that these planets migrated inwards through interactions with ou…

TOI-512: Super-Earth transiting a K-type star discovered by TESS and ESPRESSO

J. Rodrigues, S. C. Barros, N. C. Santos +38

One of the goals of the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTOs) at the ESO 8.2m telescope is to follow up on candidate planets from transit surveys such as the TESS mission. H…

Surviving in the Hot Neptune Desert: The Discovery of the Ultra-Hot Neptune TOI-3261b

Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer A. Burt +45

The recent discoveries of Neptune-sized ultra-short period planets (USPs) challenge existing planet formation theories. It is unclear whether these residents of the Hot Neptune Des…

Unveiling the internal structure and formation history of the three planets transiting HIP 29442 (TOI-469) with CHEOPS

J. A. Egger, H. P. Osborn, D. Kubyshkina +91

Multiplanetary systems spanning the radius valley are ideal testing grounds for exploring the proposed explanations for the observed bimodality in the radius distribution of close-…

Three super-Earths and a possible water world from TESS and ESPRESSO

M. J. Hobson, F. Bouchy, B. Lavie +51

Since 2018, the ESPRESSO spectrograph at the VLT has been hunting for planets in the Southern skies via the RV method. One of its goals is to follow up candidate planets from trans…

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…

The compact multi-planet system GJ 9827 revisited with ESPRESSO

V. M. Passegger, A. Suárez Mascareño, R. Allart +36

GJ 9827 is a bright, nearby K7V star orbited by two super-Earths and one mini-Neptune on close-in orbits. The system was first discovered using K2 data and then further characteriz…

The SOPHIE search for northern extrasolar planets-XIX. A system including a cold sub-Neptune potentially transiting a V = 6.5 star HD88986

N. Heidari, I. Boisse, N. C. Hara +51

Transiting planets with orbital periods longer than 40 d are extremely rare among the 5000+ planets discovered so far. The lack of discoveries of this population poses a challenge…

A compact multi-planet system transiting HIP 29442 (TOI-469) discovered by TESS and ESPRESSO. Radial velocities lead to the detection of transits with low signal-to-noise ratio

M. Damasso, J. Rodrigues, A. Castro-González +52

We followed-up with ESPRESSO the K0V star HIP 29442 (TOI-469), already known to host a validated sub-Neptune companion TOI-469.01. We aim to verify the planetary nature of TOI-469.…
