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…
Simulating RISTRETTO: Proxima b detectability in reflected light
Maddalena Bugatti, Christophe Lovis, Nicolas Billot +5
The characterization of exoplanet atmospheres is one of the key topics in modern astrophysics. To date, transmission spectroscopy has been the primary method used, but upcoming ins…
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…
NIRPS joining HARPS at ESO 3.6 m. On-sky performance and science objectives
Francois Bouchy, Rene Doyon, Francesco Pepe +131
The Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) is a high-resolution, high-stability near-infrared (NIR) spectrograph equipped with an AO system. Installed on the ESO 3.6-m telescope, it…
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…
Studying the variability of the He triplet to understand the detection limits of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres
Samson J. Mercier, Xavier Dumusque, Vincent Bourrier +20
With more than a dozen significant detections, the helium triplet has emerged as a key tracer of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres. This near-infrared feature can be observed from…
NIRPS detection of delayed atmospheric escape from the warm and misaligned Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-69b
Romain Allart, Yann Carteret, Vincent Bourrier +119
Near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrographs unlock access to fundamental properties of exoplanets, from their atmospheric escape and composition to their orbital architectu…
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…
Hydride ion continuum hides absorption signatures in the NIRPS near-infrared transmission spectrum of the ultra-hot gas giant WASP-189b
Valentina Vaulato, Stefan Pelletier, David Ehrenreich +77
Ultra-hot Jupiters showcase extreme atmospheric conditions, including molecular dissociation, ionisation, and significant day-to-night temperature contrasts. Their close proximity…
PoET: the Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope
Nuno C. Santos, Alexandre Cabral, Inês Leite +42
The detection and characterisation of other "Earths", orbiting other suns, is a bold objective of present-day astrophysics. However, this quest is severely challenged by astrophysi…
