JWST observations of 47 Tucanae: I. The low-mass main sequence down to the hydrogen-burning limit

M. Scalco, R. Gerasimov, L. R. Bedin +4

We present the first results of a series of studies based on JWST observations of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc, or NGC 104) obtained with NIRCam. By combining new data w…

Euclid: The convective-transition gap of 47 Tuc

M. Libralato, M. Griggio, R. Gerasimov +140

We report the first detection of the `convective-transition gap' (also known as `M-dwarf gap') in the globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104) thanks to Euclid data. This feature, linked…

JWST photometry and astrometry of 47 Tucanae. Discontinuity in the stellar sequence at the star/brown dwarf transition

M. Scalco, R. Gerasimov, L. R. Bedin +10

Using JWST Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) images of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (or NGC 104), taken at two epochs just 7 months apart, we derived proper-motion membership down t…

TESS discovery of two super-Earths orbiting the M-dwarf stars TOI-6002 and TOI-5713 near the radius valley

M. Ghachoui, B. V. Rackham, M. Dévora-Pajares +45

We present the validation of two TESS super-Earth candidates transiting the mid-M dwarfs TOI-6002 and TOI-5713 every 10.90 and 10.44 days, respectively. The first star (TOI-6002) i…

Three short-period Earth-sized planets around M dwarfs discovered by TESS: TOI-5720b, TOI-6008b and TOI-6086b

K. Barkaoui, R. P. Schwarz, N. Narita +53

One of the main goals of the NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission is the discovery of Earth-like planets around nearby M-dwarf stars. Here, we present the di…
