Uncovering temperate worlds: an updated look at the K2-3 system with ESPRESSO
Avidaan Srivastava, Emma Pimentel, Amélie Gressier +24
The K2-3 system is one of the most unique planetary systems as it features three transiting sub-Neptunes in decreasing order of radii, spanning the radius valley. In addition to th…
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…
RISTRETTO: Assembly and Testing of the Seven-spaxel, High-resolution, Diffraction-limited Spectrograph
Leonie Hoerner, Bruno Chazelas, Nathanaël Restori +24
The RISTRETTO project aims at the direct detection of the reflected light of extra-solar planets to measure albedos and detect possible biosignatures, using the high-contrast / hig…
A broad exploration of climate and observability of close-in rocky exoplanets: applications to Ross 128 b
Mathilde Houelle, Emeline Bolmont, Christophe Lovis +4
VLT/RISTRETTO, ELT/ANDES and ELT/PCS will soon enable atmospheric characterization of non-transiting, small rocky exoplanets orbiting closer than the inner edge of the Habitable Zo…
DD4AO control law for RISTRETTO: robustness, real-time performance, and on-sky validation with PAPYRUS
Isaac Dinis, Muskan Schinde, Nicolas Blind +11
This study presents DD4AO progress towards its implementation in the RISTRETTO instrument. DD4AO is a novel frequency-domain, data-driven controller for adaptive optics that levera…
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…
Resolving protoplanetary H-alpha emission with the high-resolution spectrograph RISTRETTO
J. W. Blackman, C. Mordasini, G. -D. Marleau +4
Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered to date, but only a handful of them are young planets in the latter stages of their formation. H-alpha emission is a strong tracer of t…
Active moons in our Solar System and beyond -- Io, Europa, Enceladus, Triton, and exomoons
Caroline Haslebacher, Emeline Bolmont, Marco Cilibrasi +19
The outgassing signatures of Io, Europa, Enceladus, Triton, and Io-like exomoons are the focus of this review chapter. The rocky volcanic world of Io is unique in our Solar System,…
Recent development in high-precision high-fidelity spectrographs for exoplanet research and characterization
François Bouchy, Francesco Pepe, Xavier Dumusque +3
High-precision high-fidelity spectrographs are the most powerful instruments for exoplanets detection and characterization. The sub-m/s radial-velocity precision, required to detec…
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…
Climates of Terrestrial Exoplanets and Biosignatures
Siddharth Bhatnagar, Emeline Bolmont, Nikita J. Boeren +18
Understanding the climates of terrestrial exoplanets and the detectability of biosignatures is an inherently interdisciplinary challenge, requiring the integration of insights from…
