The Hot Neptune Initiative (HONEI) III. An ultra-hot super Neptune orbiting the metal-rich subgiant star TOI-5646: the largest host for a desert dweller

L. Mancini, F. Manni, D. Kubyshkina +25

We report the confirmation of the TESS transiting-planet candidate orbiting the metal-rich F8\,IV-V subgiant star TOI-5646 (V=11.38 mag; T=6136 K). The planetary nature of TOI-5646…

SHARP -- A spectrograph proposal to fully exploit ELT capabilities and look beyond JWST

P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +47

The Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with their large apertures and cutting-edge Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems, promise to deliver data that is both sharper and…

The GAPS programme at TNG LXXV. Validating and confirming Gaia substellar astrometric candidates with HARPS-N

D. Barbato, M. Pinamonti, A. Sozzetti +22

The astrometric measurements provided by the Gaia space mission represent a key advancement in the search and characterization of exoplanets, helping in particular to solve the mas…

Hide and Seek with Gaia. Detectability of Predicted Thin-Disc Metal-Rich RR Lyrae Binaries in Gaia DR3 and DR4

Giuliano Iorio, Pranav Nagarajan, Alexey Bobrick +8

RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are classical tracers of old stellar populations, yet growing evidence suggests the presence of a metal-rich ([Fe/H]>-0.5), intermediate-age (2-7 Gyr) sub-pop…

The SPHERE infrared survey for exoplanets (SHINE) V. Full sample characterization

V. Squicciarini, S. Desidera, G. Chauvin +109

Unbiased surveys of large stellar samples are the prime means through which the prevalence of exoplanets can be derived, and crucial constraints to planet formation models can be s…

High-Precision Near-Infrared Abundances of Solar Analogs in the YJ Bands

Noriyuki Matsunaga, Takuji Tsujimoto, Daisuke Taniguchi +12

We present a near-infrared abundance analysis of 46 solar analogs with known ages, observed with the WINERED WIDE-mode spectrograph at a resolution of . Using an e…
