The GAPS Programme at TNG. LXXX. Characterisation of the 400 Myr old multi-planet system K2-233

V. Fardella, S. Benatti, R. Spinelli +27

Understanding exoplanet physical properties is crucial for characterising their atmospheres and internal composition. Precise planetary masses are essential for constraining bulk d…

The GAPS programme at TNG LXX. HD 128717 B/Gaia-6 B: a long-period eccentric low-mass brown dwarf from astrometry and radial velocities

M. Pinamonti, A. Sozzetti, D. Barbato +24

The transition regime between giant planets (GPs) and brown dwarfs (BDs) is still an open subject of study in exoplanetary science. A complete understanding of the population of lo…

The GAPS Programme at TNG LXVIII. Characterization of the outer substellar companion around HD 72659 with a multi-technique approach

A. Ruggieri, A. Sozzetti, S. Desidera +23

Before discovering the first exoplanets, the Radial Velocity (RV) method had been used for decades to discover binary stars. Despite significant advancements in this technique, it…

A study of the frequency and characteristics of stellar companions and Jupiter-like planets in nearby open clusters

R. Gratton, M. Bonavita, D. Mesa +9

Observations of companions of solar-type stars in nearby young moving groups (NYMGs) show that they split into two groups: stellar and brown dwarf companions (mass ratio )…

Stellar companions and Jupiter-like planets in young associations

R. Gratton, M. Bonavita, D. Mesa +9

Recently, combining high-contrast imaging and space astrometry we found that Jupiter-like (JL) planets are frequent in the beta Pic moving group (BPMG) around those stars where the…

Detection of the tidal deformation of WASP-103b at with CHEOPS

S. C. C. Barros, B. Akinsanm, G. Boué +5

WASP-103b is the exoplanet with the highest expected deformation signature in its transit light curve and one of the shortest expected spiral-in times. Measuring the tidal deformat…
