The GAPS Programme at TNG. LXXX. Characterisation of the 400 Myr old multi-planet system K2-233

V. Fardella, S. Benatti, R. Spinelli +27

Understanding exoplanet physical properties is crucial for characterising their atmospheres and internal composition. Precise planetary masses are essential for constraining bulk d…

The GAPS Programme at TNG. LXXIII. Confirmation of the hot sub-Neptune TOI-4602 b (HD 25295 b), a key target for future atmospheric characterization

C. Di Maio, S. Benatti, D. Locci +25

Precise mass and radius measurements of small, transitional exoplanets, such as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, are essential to constrain their bulk density and formation history,…

The GAPS programme at TNG LXXI. A sub-Neptune suitable for atmospheric characterization in a multiplanet and mutually inclined system orbiting the bright K dwarf TOI-5789 (HIP 99452)

A. S. Bonomo, L. Naponiello, A. Sozzetti +37

Sub-Neptunes with planetary radii of are the most common planets around solar-type stars in short-period ( d) orbits. It is still unclear, howe…

The GAPS Programme at TNG. LXV. Precise density measurement of TOI-1430 b, a young planet with an evaporating atmosphere

D. Nardiello, J. M. Akana Murphy, R. Spinelli +34

Small-sized exoplanets in tight orbits around young stars (10-1000 Myr) give us the opportunity to investigate the mechanisms that led to their formation, the evolution of their ph…

The time evolution of the ultraviolet habitable zone

R. Spinelli, F. Borsa, G. Ghirlanda +3

For stars hosting Circumstellar Habitable Zone (CHZ) exoplanets, we investigate the time-evolution of their ultraviolet habitable zone (UHZ), the annular region around a star where…

The GAPS Programme at TNG. LIX. A characterisation study of the 300 Myr old multi-planetary system orbiting the star BD+40 2790 (TOI-2076)

M. Damasso, D. Locci, S. Benatti +35

We collected more than 300 high-resolution spectra of the 300 Myr old star BD+40 2790 (TOI-2076) over ~3 years. This star hosts three transiting planets discovered by TESS, with or…

TOI-837 b: characterisation, formation and evolutionary history of an infant warm Saturn-mass planet

M. Damasso, D. Polychroni, D. Locci +15

We aim to determine the fundamental properties of the 35 Myr old star TOI-837 and its close-in Saturn-sized planet, and to investigate the system's formation and evolutionary…

The GAPS Programme at TNG: LIV. A HeI survey of close-in giant planets hosted by M-K dwarf stars with GIANO-B

G. Guilluy, M. C. D'Arpa, A. S. Bonomo +30

Atmospheric escape plays a fundamental role in shaping the properties of exoplanets. The metastable near-infrared helium triplet at 1083.3 nm (HeI) is a powerful proxy of extended…

Orbital obliquity of the young planet TOI-5398 b and the evolutionary history of the system

G. Mantovan, L. Malavolta, D. Locci +19

Multi-planet systems exhibit remarkable architectural diversity. However, short-period giant planets are typically isolated. Compact systems like TOI-5398, with an outer close-orbi…
