The SPHERE infrared survey for exoplanets (SHINE) V. Full sample characterization

V. Squicciarini, S. Desidera, G. Chauvin +109

Unbiased surveys of large stellar samples are the prime means through which the prevalence of exoplanets can be derived, and crucial constraints to planet formation models can be s…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Testing giant planet formation in the transitional disk of SAO 206462 using deep VLT/SPHERE imaging

A. -L. Maire, T. Stolker, S. Messina +42

Context. The SAO 206462 (HD 135344B) disk is one of the few known transitional disks showing asymmetric features in scattered light and thermal emission. Near-infrared scattered-li…
