Hidden Gems in TESS: sherlock finds two new rocky planets around nearby M dwarfs

M. Timmermans, M. Dévora-Pajares, F. J. Pozuelos +25

The Hidden Gems project searches the TESS data for additional planets transiting low-mass stars in confirmed systems. Our goal is to identify planet candidates that are below the d…

ExoClock Project IV: A homogeneous catalogue of 620 updated exoplanet ephemerides

A. Kokori, A. Tsiaras, G. Pantelidou +323

The ExoClock project is an open platform aiming to monitor exoplanets by integrating observations from space and ground based telescopes. This study presents an updated catalogue o…

Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars -- VI. Improved methodology and application to the circumbinary planet host star BEBOP-3

P. F. L. Maxted, N. J. Miller, T. A. Baycroft +3

BEBOP-3 is detached eclipsing binary star that shows total eclipses of a faint M~dwarf every 13.2 days by a 9-magnitude F9V star. High precision radial velocity measurem…

MANGOS II: Five new giant planets orbiting low-mass stars

G. Dransfield, M. Timmermans, D. Sebastian +47

Giant planets orbiting low-mass stars on short orbits present a conundrum, as in the most extreme cases their existence cannot be reconciled with current models of core accretion.…

The EBLM project -- XIV. TESS light curves for eclipsing binaries with very low mass companions

Jay Fitzpatrick, Pierre F. L. Maxted, Alix V. Freckelton +3

Accurate limb-darkening models are needed for accurate characterisation of eclipsing binary stars and transiting exoplanets from the analysis of their light curves. The limb-darken…

The EBLM project -- XIII. The absolute dynamical masses of the circumbinary planet host TOI-1338/BEBOP-1

D. Sebastian, A. H. M. J. Triaud, M. Brogi +6

High-contrast eclipsing binaries with low mass M-dwarf secondaries are precise benchmark stars to build empirical mass-radius relationships for fully convective low-mass ($\rm M_{*…

The EBLM Project XI. Mass, radius and effective temperature measurements for 23 M-dwarf companions to solar-type stars observed with CHEOPS

M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted, A. H. M. J. Triaud +104

Observations of low-mass stars have frequently shown a disagreement between observed stellar radii and radii predicted by theoretical stellar structure models. This ``radius inflat…

The EBLM project -- IX. Five fully convective M-dwarfs, precisely measured with CHEOPS and TESS light curves

D. Sebastian, M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted +85

Eclipsing binaries are important benchmark objects to test and calibrate stellar structure and evolution models. This is especially true for binaries with a fully convective M-dwar…

Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars -- III. SPIRou near-infrared spectroscopy and CHEOPS photometry of the benchmark G0V star EBLM J0113+31

P. F. L. Maxted, N. J. Miller, S. Hoyer +74

EBLM J0113+31 is moderately bright (V=10.1), metal-poor ([Fe/H]) G0V star with a much fainter M dwarf companion on a wide, eccentric orbit (=14.3 d). We have used near…

The EBLM project -- VIII. First results for M-dwarf mass, radius and effective temperature measurements using CHEOPS light curves

M. I. Swayne, P. F. L. Maxted, A. H. M. J. Triaud +93

The accuracy of theoretical mass, radius and effective temperature values for M-dwarf stars is an active topic of debate. Differences between observed and theoretical values have r…

Machine-learning Approaches to Exoplanet Transit Detection and Candidate Validation in Wide-field Ground-based Surveys

N. Schanche, A. Collier Cameron, G. Hébrard +23

Since the start of the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) program, more than 160 transiting exoplanets have been discovered in the WASP data. In the past, possible transit-like e…

Placing Limits On The Transit Timing Variations Of Circumbinary Exoplanets

D. Armstrong, D. V. Martin, G. Brown +6

We present an efficient analytical method to predict the maximum transit timing variations of a circumbinary exoplanet, given some basic parameters of the host binary. We derive an…
