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…

A 43 day transiting Neptune and two 25 day Saturns from TESS, NGTS and ASTEP

Alicia Kendall, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Samuel Gill +53

Beyond orbital periods of 10 days, there is a dearth of known transiting gas giants. On longer orbits, planets are less affected by their host star, and become ideal probes of plan…
