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…

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…

Effect of stellar spot-only spectral lines in high-resolution transit spectroscopy

W. Dethier, E. Cristo, O. D. S. Demangeon +3

We investigate how a representative single spectral line present only in a stellar spot can introduce distortions in high-resolution planetary absorption spectra. Specifically, we…

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…

Predicting Radial Velocities from Rossiter-McLaughlin Time Series Observations

Vardan Adibekyan, Olivier Demangeon, Diogo Teixeira +7

The Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect produces apparent radial velocity (RV) shifts through line-profile distortions caused by a transiting planet blocking different regions of the r…

The impact of interpolation in high-resolution spectroscopy -- The overlooked role of interpolation in radial velocity extraction

A. M. Silva, D. Doshi, K. Al Moulla +11

We explore the impact of spectral interpolation in radial velocity (RV) time-series extracted through template-based methods. We build synthetic datasets with Gaussian profiles to…

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…

Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs

Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98

Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…

Modelling solar radial velocities and photometric variability with SOAPv4

Alba Barka, Eduardo Cristo, Ângela R. G. Santos +5

Stellar activity remains one of the main limitations in the detection of Earth-like planets using radial velocity (RV) measurements. The Sun, as the only star for which surface fea…

TOI-4552 b: A new ultra-short period rocky world revealed by NIRPS and TESS

Avidaan Srivastava, René Doyon, François Bouchy +57

A particularly intriguing subclass of rocky exoplanets are the ultra-short period (USP) worlds that orbit their host stars in less than a day. These planets are particularly rare a…

Exploring the surface of HD 189733 via Doppler shadow analysis of planetary transits

E. C. Gonçalves, E. Cristo, W. Dethier +6

Transmission spectroscopy has greatly advanced the study of exoplanet atmospheres, but stellar surface heterogeneities can contaminate transit spectra. Characterising how stellar s…

Impact of stellar spots on the high-resolution transmission spectra of a giant planet around a Sun-like star

Jennifer P. Lucero, O. D. S. Demangeon, E. Cristo +2

Transmission spectroscopy has enabled the analysis of exoplanet atmospheres. However, a major challenge is the noise from host stars, caused by stellar activity such as dark spots…

Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs

Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65

The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…

NIRPS tightens the mass estimate of GJ 3090 b and detects a planet near the stellar rotation period

Pierrot Lamontagne, Drew Weisserman, Charles Cadieux +148

We present an updated characterization of the planetary system orbiting the nearby M2 dwarf GJ 3090 (TOI-177; pc), based on new high-precision radial velocity (RV) observa…
