SPIRou near-infrared spectropolarimetry of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9b: tentative detection of the planet magnetic field
Alexis Lavail, Florian Debras, David Rogé Royo +23
Exoplanetary magnetic fields govern atmospheric escape and circulation but have eluded detection in close-in planets. In the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9b, atmospheric dynamo is predic…
A temperate sub-Neptune transiting the M4 Dwarf TOI-210 identified by NIRPS and TESS -- Uncovering hidden M-dwarf planetary systems in the near-infrared
C. Cadieux, B. N. Skinner, F. Bouchy +63
Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes dominate the exoplanet population, yet their compositions, formation mechanisms, and capability of retaining atmospheres remain poorly understood. M-t…
The First Hubble Detection of a Secondary Eclipse from a Rocky Exoplanet: the 5.4-hour planet TOI-2431 b
Sebastian Zieba, Billy Edwards, Samuel N. Quinn +18
We present an HST/WFC3 G141 phase-curve observation of the ultra-short-period rocky planet TOI-2431 b and detect its secondary eclipse in the near infrared. Combined with the TESS…
Upside down: GJ3090 b the first retrograde exoplanet around an M dwarf detected with NIRPS
Y. Carteret, V. Bourrier, L. Parc +57
The angle between stellar spin axis and planetary orbital plane can provide key insights into the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. In particular, this measur…
Thermal Evolution of Lava Planets Across System Ages: Predictions for Hell of a Survey
Mariana Sastre, Tim Lichtenberg, Lisa Dang +22
Ultra-short-period (USP) rocky exoplanets can have dayside temperatures high enough to maintain permanent magma oceans, sitting at the intersection of interior geophysics and atmos…
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…
Radial velocity detection of the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system with SPIRou and NIRPS
Alexandrine L'Heureux, René Doyon, Charles Cadieux +57
The TRAPPIST-1 system is well-known for its seven transiting Earth-sized exoplanets. It has been extensively studied and characterized, notably with transit timing variations (TTVs…
Precise Determination of the Metallicity and C/O of WASP-39~b From a Single JWST Instrument Mode with Phase-Resolved Cross-Correlation Retrievals
Arjun B. Savel, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Erin M. May +4
Measuring atmospheric metallicities and C/O ratios is a key goal of JWST exoplanet science, given their proposed link to planet formation. Achieving this goal has previously been s…
Parametrizing the projected wind fields of ultra-hot Jupiters in thermal emission: an application to GCM spectra of WASP-76b
Joost P. Wardenier, Romain Allart, Georgia Mraz +5
High-resolution thermal emission spectroscopy provides a powerful probe of atmospheric circulation in ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs), with Doppler shifts encoding information about the…
Magnetic field strengths of hot giant exoplanets consistent with Solar System values
Julia V. Seidel, Vivien Parmentier, Bibiana Prinoth +29
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe. They play a key role in shaping the activity of stars, the habitability of rocky planets, and the long-term retention of planetary a…
The breaking of cold traps and onset of titanium in ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres: WASP-189b in context
Stefan Pelletier, Romain Allart, Valentina Vaulato +56
Condensates are ubiquitous to all Solar System planets with significant (10mbar) atmospheres. The same is true for most exoplanets with characterised atmospheres, with even ultr…
