NIRPS and TESS reveal a peculiar system around the M dwarf TOI-756: A transiting sub-Neptune and a cold eccentric giant

Léna Parc, François Bouchy, Neil J. Cook +148

The Near InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) joined HARPS on the 3.6-m ESO telescope at La Silla Observatory in April 2023, dedicating part of its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) p…

TOI-3288 b and TOI-4666 b: two gas giants transiting low-mass stars characterised by NIRPS

Yolanda G. C. Frensch, François Bouchy, Gaspare Lo Curto +62

Gas giant planets orbiting low-mass stars are uncommon outcomes of planet formation. Increasing the sample of well-characterised giants around early M dwarfs will enable population…

Stellar-activity analysis of the nearby M dwarf GJ 526. Multi-dimensional Gaussian-process modelling of RV, FWHM and S-index

A. K. Stefanov, J. I. González Hernández, A. Suárez Mascareño +17

M dwarfs are the most abundant stars in the Galaxy, and their low masses make them natural favourites for exoplanet radial-velocity (RV) searches. Nevertheless, these stars often d…

A second low-mass planet orbiting the nearby M-dwarf GJ 536

A. Suárez Mascareño, C. del Burgo, J. -B. Delisle +7

GJ 536 is a low-mass star, located 10 pc away from the Sun, that hosts a low-mass planet orbiting with a period of 8.71 days. Based on an analysis of the radial velocity (RV) time…

Atmospheric composition and circulation of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b with joint NIRPS, HARPS and CRIRES+ transit spectroscopy

Valentina Vaulato, Melissa J. Hobson, Romain Allart +57

Ultra-hot Jupiters like WASP-121b provide unique laboratories for studying atmospheric chemistry and dynamics under extreme irradiation. Constraining their composition and circulat…

Quantifying thermal water dissociation in the dayside photosphere of WASP-121 b using NIRPS

Luc Bazinet, Romain Allart, Björn Benneke +119

The intense stellar irradiation of ultra-hot Jupiters results in some of the most extreme atmospheric environments in the planetary regime. On their daysides, temperatures can be s…

Diving into the planetary system of Proxima with NIRPS -- Breaking the metre per second barrier in the infrared

Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, Étienne Artigau, Lucile Mignon +138

We obtained 420 high-resolution spectra of Proxima, over 159 nights, using the Near Infra Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS). We derived 149 nightly binned radial velocity measurements wi…

Blind search for activity-sensitive lines in the near-infrared using HARPS and NIRPS observations of Proxima and Gl 581

João Gomes da Silva, Elisa Delgado-Mena, Nuno C. Santos +145

Stellar activity variability is one of the main obstacles to the detection of Earth-like planets using the RV method. The aim of this work is to measure the effect of activity in t…

HADES RV Programme with HARPS-N at TNG. XVI. A super-Earth in the habitable zone of the GJ 3998 multi-planet system

A. K. Stefanov, A. Suárez Mascareño, J. I. González Hernández +12

The low masses of M dwarfs create attractive opportunities for exoplanet radial-velocity (RV) detections. These stars, however, exhibit strong stellar activity that may attenuate o…
