Stellar magnetic activity and rocky planets in cool dwarf stars

A. K. Stefanov

Exoplanetary astronomy has entered its Golden Age, with humanity having found over 6000 exoplanets to date. The majority of these discoveries have been achieved through transit-pho…

A temperate sub-Neptune transiting the M4 Dwarf TOI-210 identified by NIRPS and TESS -- Uncovering hidden M-dwarf planetary systems in the near-infrared

C. Cadieux, B. N. Skinner, F. Bouchy +63

Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes dominate the exoplanet population, yet their compositions, formation mechanisms, and capability of retaining atmospheres remain poorly understood. M-t…

Upside down: GJ3090 b the first retrograde exoplanet around an M dwarf detected with NIRPS

Y. Carteret, V. Bourrier, L. Parc +57

The angle between stellar spin axis and planetary orbital plane can provide key insights into the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. In particular, this measur…

Night-sky emission correction techniques for high-resolution spectroscopy: Demonstration with NIRPS

Avidaan Srivastava, François Bouchy, Xavier Dumusque +54

Ground-based spectrographs operating in the near-infrared (NIR) regime are hampered by various absorption and emission features of Earth's atmosphere. While considerable attention…

Radial velocity detection of the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system with SPIRou and NIRPS

Alexandrine L'Heureux, René Doyon, Charles Cadieux +57

The TRAPPIST-1 system is well-known for its seven transiting Earth-sized exoplanets. It has been extensively studied and characterized, notably with transit timing variations (TTVs…

Mass constraints for the K2-223 system planets: An ultra-short-period sub-Earth, a short-period super-Earth, and a tentative long-period giant planet

Dawid Jankowski, Grzegorz Nowak, Gaia Lacedelli +23

We present mass constraints of two short-period Earth-sized planets transiting K2-223 based on high-precision radial velocity measurements from HARPS-N and ESPRESSO, as well as a t…

The breaking of cold traps and onset of titanium in ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres: WASP-189b in context

Stefan Pelletier, Romain Allart, Valentina Vaulato +56

Condensates are ubiquitous to all Solar System planets with significant (10mbar) atmospheres. The same is true for most exoplanets with characterised atmospheres, with even ultr…

The RoPES project with HARPS and HARPS-N III. Two candidate planets orbiting the G-type star HD 161098

N. Nari, A. Suárez Mascareño, J. I. González Hernández +9

Context. The development of refined instruments and techniques for a detailed analysis of the radial velocities (RVs) of stars other than the Sun allows the presence of planetary s…

Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs

Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98

Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…

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…

Long-period magnetic activity in the K dwarf GJ 1137 and a new super-Earth on a 9-day orbit

Denitza Stoeva, Atanas K. Stefanov, Stefan Y. Stefanov +12

Aims: We investigate long-term radial velocity (RV) variability in the K-dwarf star GJ 1137 (HD 93083, HIP52521), a known Saturn-mass exoplanet host, and assess the role of stellar…

NIRPS tightens the mass estimate of GJ 3090 b and detects a planet near the stellar rotation period

Pierrot Lamontagne, Drew Weisserman, Charles Cadieux +148

We present an updated characterization of the planetary system orbiting the nearby M2 dwarf GJ 3090 (TOI-177; pc), based on new high-precision radial velocity (RV) observa…

The RoPES project with HARPS and HARPS-N II. A third planet in the multi-planet system HD 176986

N. Nari, A. Suárez Mascareño, J. I. González Hernández +7

Earth-like planets orbiting in the habitable zone of K- to G-type stars create an RV effect in amplitude of less than 1 \si{\meter\per\second} and have orbital periods of hundreds…
