We present and describe a new version of the spot oscillation and planet code, SOAPv4. Our aim is to demonstrate its capabilities in modeling stellar activity in the context of RV…
TOI-2322: two transiting rocky planets close to the stellar rotation period and its first harmonic
M. J. Hobson, A. Suárez Mascareño, C. Lovis +42
Context. Active regions on the stellar surface can induce quasi-periodic radial velocity (RV) variations that can mimic planets and mask true planetary signals. These spurious sign…
A comprehensive study on radial velocity signals using ESPRESSO: Pushing precision to the 10 cm/s level

We report on the validation and characterisation of two transiting planets around TOI-1453, a K-dwarf star in the TESS northern continuous viewing zone. In addition to the TESS dat…
TOI-512: Super-Earth transiting a K-type star discovered by TESS and ESPRESSO
J. Rodrigues, S. C. Barros, N. C. Santos +38
One of the goals of the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTOs) at the ESO 8.2m telescope is to follow up on candidate planets from transit surveys such as the TESS mission. H…
KOBE-1: The first planetary system from the KOBE survey. Two planets likely residing in the sub-Neptune mass regime around a late K-dwarf
O. Balsalobre-Ruza, J. Lillo-Box, A. M. Silva +35
K-dwarf stars are promising targets in the exploration of potentially habitable planets. Their properties, falling between G and M dwarfs, provide an optimal trade-off between the…
A sub-Earth-mass planet orbiting Barnard's star
J. I. Gonzalez Hernandez, A. Suarez Mascareno, A. M. Silva +37
Barnard's star is a primary target within the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTO) as it is the second closest neighbour to our Sun after the Centauri stellar system. We…
ESPRESSO reveals blueshifted neutral iron emission lines on the dayside of WASP-76 b
A. R. Costa Silva, O. D. S. Demangeon, N. C. Santos +34
Ultra hot Jupiters (gas giants, Teq>2000 K) are intriguing exoplanets due to their extreme atmospheres. Their torrid daysides can be characterised using ground-based high-resolutio…
Confronting compositional confusion through the characterisation of the sub-Neptune orbiting HD 77946
