Inferring the physics of protoplanetary disc evolution from the irradiated Cygnus OB2 region -- A comparison of viscous and MHD wind-driven scenarios
Jesse Weder, Andrew J. Winter, Christoph Mordasini
Our current understanding has crystallised around two possible evolution scenarios for protoplanetary discs (turbulent viscosity and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wind-driven) - but wh…
NIRPS and TESS reveal a peculiar system around the M dwarf TOI-756: A transiting sub-Neptune and a cold eccentric giant
Léna Parc, François Bouchy, Neil J. Cook +148
The Near InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) joined HARPS on the 3.6-m ESO telescope at La Silla Observatory in April 2023, dedicating part of its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) p…
Survival of satellites during the migration of a Hot Jupiter
Emeline Bolmont, Edward Galantay, Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma +2
We investigate the origin and stability of extrasolar satellites orbiting close-in gas giants, focusing on whether these satellites can survive planetary migration within a protopl…
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…
Quantifying thermal water dissociation in the dayside photosphere of WASP-121 b using NIRPS
Luc Bazinet, Romain Allart, Björn Benneke +119
The intense stellar irradiation of ultra-hot Jupiters results in some of the most extreme atmospheric environments in the planetary regime. On their daysides, temperatures can be s…
NIRPS joining HARPS at ESO 3.6 m. On-sky performance and science objectives
Francois Bouchy, Rene Doyon, Francesco Pepe +131
The Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) is a high-resolution, high-stability near-infrared (NIR) spectrograph equipped with an AO system. Installed on the ESO 3.6-m telescope, it…
Diving into the planetary system of Proxima with NIRPS -- Breaking the metre per second barrier in the infrared
Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, Étienne Artigau, Lucile Mignon +138
We obtained 420 high-resolution spectra of Proxima, over 159 nights, using the Near Infra Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS). We derived 149 nightly binned radial velocity measurements wi…
NIRPS detection of delayed atmospheric escape from the warm and misaligned Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-69b
Romain Allart, Yann Carteret, Vincent Bourrier +119
Near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrographs unlock access to fundamental properties of exoplanets, from their atmospheric escape and composition to their orbital architectu…
Blind search for activity-sensitive lines in the near-infrared using HARPS and NIRPS observations of Proxima and Gl 581
João Gomes da Silva, Elisa Delgado-Mena, Nuno C. Santos +145
Stellar activity variability is one of the main obstacles to the detection of Earth-like planets using the RV method. The aim of this work is to measure the effect of activity in t…
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…
NuAncestor: an artificial satellite-borne star for accurate frequency calibration of ground-based EPRV spectrographs
F. Pepe, M. Bugatti, A. Baur +17
The accuracy of state-of-the-art Extreme Precision Radial Velocity (EPRV) spectrographs depends on the access to extremely precise and stable wavelength calibration sources. There…
Semi-analytical model for the dynamical evolution of planetary system II: Application to systems formed by a planet formation model
Tadahiro Kimura, Eiichiro Kokubo, Yuji Matsumoto +2
The standard formation model of close-in low-mass planets involves efficient inward migration followed by growth through giant impacts after the protoplanetary gas disk disperses.…
The importance of the dynamical corotation torque for the migration of low-mass planets -- 1D analytical prescriptions verified by 2D hydrodynamical simulations
Jesse Weder, Clément Baruteau, Christoph Mordasini
Recent developments suggested that planet formation occurs in regions of the discs with low turbulent viscosity. There, the dynamical corotation torque is thought to play an import…
