Detection of Solar-like Oscillations and Granulation at Infrared Wavelengths using JWST

Angharad Weeks, Daniel Huber, Timothy R. Bedding +8

Stellar oscillations and granulation are key probes of stellar convection, one of the most poorly understood processes in stars. Stellar models predict strong wavelength dependence…

A temperate sub-Neptune transiting the M4 Dwarf TOI-210 identified by NIRPS and TESS -- Uncovering hidden M-dwarf planetary systems in the near-infrared

C. Cadieux, B. N. Skinner, F. Bouchy +63

Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes dominate the exoplanet population, yet their compositions, formation mechanisms, and capability of retaining atmospheres remain poorly understood. M-t…

Upside down: GJ3090 b the first retrograde exoplanet around an M dwarf detected with NIRPS

Y. Carteret, V. Bourrier, L. Parc +57

The angle between stellar spin axis and planetary orbital plane can provide key insights into the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. In particular, this measur…

POSTELLAR: Posterior Stellar Spectrum Sampling - An Alternative to Approximate Stellar Spectra for Exoplanetary Analysis

Dhvani Doshi, Nicolas B. Cowan, Yashar Hezaveh +2

We present a novel approach to perform posterior sampling of the underlying stellar spectrum in high-resolution spectroscopic observations. Our method, postellar, coherently combin…

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…

Radial velocity detection of the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system with SPIRou and NIRPS

Alexandrine L'Heureux, René Doyon, Charles Cadieux +57

The TRAPPIST-1 system is well-known for its seven transiting Earth-sized exoplanets. It has been extensively studied and characterized, notably with transit timing variations (TTVs…

Atmospheric Reconnaissance of TRAPPIST-1 f with JWST NIRISS SOSS: No Evidence for the Transit Light Source Effect

Olivia Lim, René Doyon, Ryan J. MacDonald +25

In just over three years of operation, JWST has observed all seven planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system. The two innermost planets were found to have little to no atmosphere, barring t…

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…

Towards Doppler eclipse mapping of hot Jupiters. An observational perspective on WASP-33 b with SPIRou

Vincent Yariv, Xavier Bonfils, Nicolas Cowan +7

In the last decade, ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) has emerged as a powerful method to probe exoplanet atmospheres both in transit and thermal emission. With HRS s…

Unraveling the Mystery of the Peculiar and Young Hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b. I. HO and CO Detection from Dayside Observations with Gemini-S/IGRINS

Ying Shu, Lisa Dang, Antoine Darveau-Bernier +12

We present ground-based high-resolution spectroscopic pre-eclipse observations of the hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b obtained with the IGRINS spectrograph on Gemini South. Using cross-correl…

The Days Drag On on WASP-121 b: Interpreting its NIRISS Spectroscopic Phase Curve with General Circulation Models

Robert C. Frazier, Emily Rauscher, Jared Splinter +18

Ultra-hot Jupiters present extreme atmospheric phenomena not found in the Solar System. These planets' daysides experience strong temperature inversions, molecular species (includi…

Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs

Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65

The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…

Searching for Molecular Signatures in 14 Transiting Exoplanets with SPIRou

A. Masson, S. Vinatier, B. Bézard +6

High-resolution spectroscopy provides unique constraints on exoplanet atmospheric composition and dynamics. The past decade of ground-based campaigns has accumulated extensive publ…

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…
