Uncovering temperate worlds: an updated look at the K2-3 system with ESPRESSO

Avidaan Srivastava, Emma Pimentel, Amélie Gressier +24

The K2-3 system is one of the most unique planetary systems as it features three transiting sub-Neptunes in decreasing order of radii, spanning the radius valley. In addition to th…

A super-Earth on a close-in orbit around the M1V star GJ 740. A HADES and CARMENES collaboration

B. Toledo-Padrón, A. Suárez Mascareño, J. I. González Hernández +23

M-dwarfs have proven to be ideal targets for planetary radial velocity (RV) searches due to their higher planet-star mass contrast. The HADES and CARMENES programs aim to carry out…

The GAPS Programme at TNG XXVII. Reassessment of a young planetary system with HARPS-N: is the hot Jupiter V830 Tau b really there?

M. Damasso, A. F. Lanza, S. Benatti +41

Detecting and characterising exoworlds around very young stars (age10 Myr) are key aspects of exoplanet demographic studies, especially for understanding the mechanisms and time…

Searching for planetary signals in Doppler time series: a performance evaluation of tools for periodograms analysis

M. Pinamonti, A. Sozzetti, A. S. Bonomo +1

We carry out a comparative analysis of the performance of three algorithms widely used to identify significant periodicities in radial-velocity (RV) datasets: the Generalised Lomb-…

The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N@TNG XII: Characterization of the planetary system around HD108874

S. Benatti, S. Desidera, M. Damasso +36

In order to understand the observed physical and orbital diversity of extrasolar planetary systems, a full investigation of these objects and of their host stars is necessary. With…

Seismic investigation of the γ Dor star KIC 6462033: The first results of Kepler and ground-based follow up observations

C. Ulusoy, B. Ulaş, M. Damasso +5

We present the first preliminary results on the analysis of ground-based time series of the γ Dor star KIC 6462033 (TYC 3144-646-1, V = 10.83, P = 0.69686 d) as well as Kepler phot…
