"Perfect" spectra for ESO's HARPS spectrograph
Dinko MilakoviÄ, Guido Cupani, Bruce A. Bassett +2
HARPERFECT is the first application of "spectral perfectionism" to a high-resolution echelle spectrograph, reconstructing 1D spectra from 2D detector data via a forward model built…
Test of a 34 GHz EOM laser frequency comb at ESPRESSO
Tobias M. Schmidt, Ewelina Obrzud, François Bouchy +18
Laser frequency combs (LFCs) are a promising technology for wavelength calibration of astronomical high-resolution spectrographs requiring utmost accuracy and stability, since they…
The ESPRESSO Redshift Drift Experiment III -- The Third Epoch of QSO J052915.80-435152.0
Andrea Trost, Catarina M. J. Marques, S. Cristiani +25
The Sandage-Loeb test probes cosmic expansion directly by measuring the redshift drift in quasar absorption features in a model-independent way. In this series of papers, we have l…
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…
From the Intergalactic to the Interstellar Scales -- EQUALS: a High-resolution Legacy Survey of Gas in the Distant Universe Using ESPRESSO
Trystyn Berg, Valentina D'Odorico, Elisa Boera +14
Understanding how the Universe evolved from diffuse primordial gas into the rich cosmic web we observe today is one of the great challenges of modern astrophysics. Quasar absorptio…
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…
