Peering through the disc of HD 98800 BaBb. Precise timing predictions for the HD 98800 AaAb occultation

S. Zúñiga-Fernández, A. Bayo, J. Olofsson +2

HD 98800 is a young hierarchical quadruple system composed of the tight binaries AaAb and BaBb on a wide, highly inclined outer orbit. The B subsystem hosts a circumbinary disc in…

Multi-epoch afterglow rebrightenings in GRB 250129A: Evidence for successive shock interactions

D. Akl, S. Antier, H. Koehn +105

Most long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit afterglows broadly consistent with external forward-shock emission, typically described by smooth broken power-law decays in the multiband…

TOI-1080 b: a temperate, rocky planet orbiting a quiet M4V host

Y. Gómez Maqueo Chew, G. Dransfield, K. Barkaoui +41

We present the detection and validation of a small, temperate transiting exoplanet orbiting TOI-1080 every 3.9652482 days. The host is a quiet M4V star…

Two temperate Earth- and Neptune-sized planets orbiting fully convective M dwarfs

Madison G. Scott, Georgina Dransfield, Mathilde Timmermans +30

As the diversity of exoplanets continues to grow, it is important to revisit assumptions about habitability and classical HZ definitions. In this work, we introduce an expanded 'te…

Validation of a Third Earth-sized Planet in the TOI-2267 Binary System

Michael Greklek-McKeon, Jonathan Gomez Barrientos, Heather A. Knutson +13

We report the validation of a third terrestrial exoplanet in the nearby (22 pc) TOI-2267 system. TOI-2267 is a binary system with stellar components TOI-2267A (M5, 3030 K) and TOI-…

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.…

ATREIDES I. Embarking on a trek across the exo-Neptunian landscape with the TOI-421 system

V. Bourrier, M. Steiner, A. Castro-González +75

The distribution of close-in exoplanets is shaped by the interplay between atmospheric and dynamical processes. The Neptunian Desert, Ridge, and Savanna illustrate the sensitivity…

Two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an Earth-sized candidate in the M5V-M6V binary system TOI-2267

S. Zúñiga-Fernández, F. J. Pozuelos, M. Dévora-Pajares +63

We report two warm Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting the close binary TOI-2267 (M5+M6, separation ~8 au). Data from TESS and ground-based facilities confirm the planets, but we canno…

High contrast at short separation with VLTI/GRAVITY: Bringing Gaia companions to light

N. Pourré, T. O. Winterhalder, J. -B. Le Bouquin +173

Since 2019, GRAVITY has provided direct observations of giant planets and brown dwarfs at separations of down to 95 mas from the host star. Some of these observations have provided…

TOI-4336 A b: A temperate sub-Neptune ripe for atmospheric characterization in a nearby triple M-dwarf system

M. Timmermans, G. Dransfield, M. Gillon +54

Small planets transiting bright nearby stars are essential to our understanding of the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. However, few constitute prime targets for at…

NGTS-28Ab: A short period transiting brown dwarf

Beth A. Henderson, Sarah L. Casewell, Michael R. Goad +43

We report the discovery of a brown dwarf orbiting a M1 host star. We first identified the brown dwarf within the Next Generation Transit Survey data, with supporting observations f…

An M dwarf accompanied by a close-in giant orbiter with SPECULOOS

Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Georgina Dransfield, Taiki Kagetani +40

In the last decade, a dozen close-in giant planets have been discovered orbiting stars with spectral types ranging from M0 to M4, a mystery since known formation pathways do not pr…

A super-Earth and a mini-Neptune near the 2:1 MMR straddling the radius valley around the nearby mid-M dwarf TOI-2096

F. J. Pozuelos, M. Timmermans, B. V. Rackham +72

Several planetary formation models have been proposed to explain the observed abundance and variety of compositions of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. In this context, multitransit…

Two temperate super-Earths transiting a nearby late-type M dwarf

L. Delrez, C. A. Murray, F. J. Pozuelos +82

In the age of JWST, temperate terrestrial exoplanets transiting nearby late-type M dwarfs provide unique opportunities for characterising their atmospheres, as well as searching fo…

The protoplanetary disc around HD 169142: circumstellar or circumbinary?

P. P. Poblete, N. Cuello, S. Pérez +12

Stellar binaries represent a substantial fraction of stellar systems, especially among young stellar objects. Accordingly, binaries play an important role in setting the architectu…

The HD 98800 quadruple pre-main sequence system. Towards full orbital characterisation using long-baseline infrared interferometry

S. Zúñiga-Fernández, J. Olofsson, A. Bayo +8

HD 98800 is a young ( Myr old) and nearby ( pc) quadruple system, composed of two spectroscopic binaries orbiting around each other (AaAb and BaBb), with a gas-rich…
