Stellar obliquity serves as a key diagnostic for tracing the dynamical evolution of bound systems-from giant planets and brown dwarfs to stellar binaries-revealing whether these di…
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…
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…
Photodynamical modeling of TOI-4504 reveals its deeply resonant state and similarity to GJ 876
J. M. Almenara, R. Mardling, A. Leleu +15
The K-dwarf TOI-4504 hosts two giant planets in 2:1 mean-motion resonance, with orbital periods of 41.3 days (planet d) and 82.8 days (planet c). They exhibit among the largest kno…
The SPIRou Legacy Survey: Detection of a nearby world orbiting in the habitable zone of Gl725B achieved by correcting strong telluric contamination in near-infrared radial velocities with WAPITI
M. Ould-Elhkim, C. Moutou, J. -F. Donati +15
M dwarfs are prime targets in the search for exoplanets because of their prevalence and because low-mass planets can be better detected with radial velocity (RV) methods. In partic…
Two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an Earth-sized candidate in the M5V-M6V binary system TOI-2267
