The EBLM project - XX. Absolute dynamical masses of five low-mass eclipsing binaries, and an evaluation of mass estimation methods
Adam T. Stevenson, Yasmin T. Davis, Daniel Sebastian +8
Eclipsing binaries consisting of a solar-type primary and an M dwarf secondary are key laboratories to study objects at the bottom of the main sequence. Fundamental parameters of s…
The EBLM Project - XIX. The absence of radius inflation in a homogeneous analysis of 66 Northern low-mass eclipsing binaries
Yasmin T. Davis, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, David V. Martin +30
Precise and accurate measurements of host stars are crucial in the search for Earth-like exoplanets, and M-dwarfs are favourable targets in this quest. Low-mass eclipsing binaries…
TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf
F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44
Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…
Hidden Gems in TESS: sherlock finds two new rocky planets around nearby M dwarfs
M. Timmermans, M. Dévora-Pajares, F. J. Pozuelos +25
The Hidden Gems project searches the TESS data for additional planets transiting low-mass stars in confirmed systems. Our goal is to identify planet candidates that are below the d…
Two temperate Earth- and Neptune-sized planets orbiting fully convective M dwarfs
Madison G. Scott, Georgina Dransfield, Mathilde Timmermans +30
As the diversity of exoplanets continues to grow, it is important to revisit assumptions about habitability and classical HZ definitions. In this work, we introduce an expanded 'te…
TOI-7166 b: A Habitable Zone mini-Neptune planet around a nearby low-mass star
Khalid Barkaoui, Francisco J. Pozuelos, Benjamin V. Rackham +41
We present the discovery and validation of TOI-7166b, a 2.01+/-0.05R_Earth planet orbiting a nearby low-mass star. We validated the planet by combining TESS and multi-color high-pr…
BEBOP VIII. SOPHIE radial velocities reveal an eccentric, circumbinary brown dwarf
Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Thomas A. Baycroft, Neda Heidari +18
Circumbinary configurations offer a test of planet formation in an altered environment, where the inner binary has perturbed a protoplanetary disc. Comparisons of the physical and…
MANGOS II: Five new giant planets orbiting low-mass stars
G. Dransfield, M. Timmermans, D. Sebastian +47
Giant planets orbiting low-mass stars on short orbits present a conundrum, as in the most extreme cases their existence cannot be reconciled with current models of core accretion.…
ATREIDES I. Embarking on a trek across the exo-Neptunian landscape with the TOI-421 system
V. Bourrier, M. Steiner, A. Castro-González +75
The distribution of close-in exoplanets is shaped by the interplay between atmospheric and dynamical processes. The Neptunian Desert, Ridge, and Savanna illustrate the sensitivity…
Two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an Earth-sized candidate in the M5V-M6V binary system TOI-2267
S. Zúñiga-Fernández, F. J. Pozuelos, M. Dévora-Pajares +63
We report two warm Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting the close binary TOI-2267 (M5+M6, separation ~8 au). Data from TESS and ground-based facilities confirm the planets, but we canno…
BEBOP VII. SOPHIE discovery of BEBOP-3b, a circumbinary giant planet on an eccentric orbit
Thomas A. Baycroft, Alexandre Santerne, Amaury H. M. J. Triaud +21
Planetary systems orbiting close binaries are valuable testing grounds for planet formation and migration models. More detections with good mass measurements are needed. We present…
SPECULOOS: five years hunting terrestrial planets around ultra-cool dwarfs
Sebastián Zúñiga-Fernández, Michael Gillon, SPECULOOS consortium
The SPECULOOS (Search for habitable Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars) project aims to detect temperate terrestrial planets transiting nearby ultracool dwarfs, including late M-dw…
EBLM XV -- Revised dynamical masses for the circumbinary planet host Kepler-16 AB, using the SOPHIE spectrograph
D. Sebastian, I. Boisse, A. Santerne +14
Eclipsing binaries are perfect laboratories to measure precise, accurate and model-independent stellar radii and stellar masses, so long as both components are spectroscopically re…
A transiting rocky super-Earth and a non-transiting sub-Neptune orbiting the M dwarf TOI-771
G. Lacedelli, E. Pallé, Y. T. Davis +24
The origin and evolution of the sub-Neptune population is a highly debated topic in the exoplanet community. With the advent of JWST, atmospheric studies can now put unprecedented…
TOI-6508b: A massive transiting brown dwarf orbiting a low-mass star
K. Barkaoui, D. Sebastian, S. Zúñiga-Fernández +44
We report the discovery of a transiting brown dwarf orbiting a low-mass star, TOI-6508b. Today, only ~50 transiting brown dwarfs have been discovered. TOI-6508b was first detected…
BEBOP VI. Enabling the detection of circumbinary planets orbiting double-lined binaries with the DOLBY method of radial-velocity extraction
Lalitha Sairam, Thomas A. Baycroft, Isabelle Boisse +13
Circumbinary planets - planets that orbit both stars in a binary system - offer the opportunity to study planet formation and orbital migration in a different environment compare t…
CHEOPS in-flight performance: A comprehensive look at the first 3.5 years of operations
A. Fortier, A. E. Simon, C. Broeg +128
CHEOPS is a space telescope specifically designed to monitor transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. In September 2023, CHEOPS completed its nominal mission and remains in exc…
