SOPHIE and TESS characterization of fourteen TESS Objects of Interest: nine planetary systems and five low-mass stellar companions

N. Heidari, G. Hébrard, S. Sousa +61

We present fourteen TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) from the SOPHIE-TESS follow-up program. Combining TESS photometry, SOPHIE radial velocities (RVs), ground-based photometry, and…

A distant brown dwarf coplanar to a warm Jupiter and a hot super-Earth

Matías I. Jones, Luca Naponiello, Trifon Trifonov +21

In transiting planetary systems, in which planetary sizes are accurately determined from transit observations, the presence of transit-timing variations (TTVs), especially when com…

PLATOSpec's first results: Three new transiting warm Jupiters from the WINE survey TIC 147027702, TIC 245076932 and TIC 87422071

Pavol Gajdoš, Rafael Brahm, Lorena Acuña-Aguirre +33

We report the discovery and characterisation of three transiting warm Jupiters: TIC 147027702b, TIC 245076932b and TIC 87422071b. These systems were initially identified as transit…

TIC65910228b: A single-transit discovery of a massive long-period warm Jupiter with TESS

Felipe I. Rojas, Rafael Brahm, Matías I. Jones +27

Context. Warm Jupiters are excellent case studies for the investigation of giant planet internal structures and formation theories. However, the sample of long-period transiting gi…

Unraveling the Brown Dwarf Desert: Four New Discoveries and a Unifying, Period-Coded Picture

Ján Šubjak, Rafael Brahm, Jozef Lipták +30

We present four newly validated transiting brown dwarfs identified through TESS photometry and confirmed with high-precision radial velocity measurements obtained from the FEROS an…

Constraining the size, shape, and albedo of the large Trans-Neptunian Object (28978) Ixion with multi-chord stellar occultations

Y. Kilic, F. Braga-Ribas, C. L. Pereira +81

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most primitive remnants of the early Solar System, and constraining their sizes, shapes, albedos, and surface properties is essential f…

Flares and superflares on the southern active binary CC Eri

M. Leitzinger, P. Odert, R. Greimel +15

Flares and CMEs are known to be the dominating high-energy phenomena on cool stars. Superflares were thoroughly investigated using broadband photometry predominantly from Kepler, K…

The evolution of PUCHEROS from a basic to a competitive tool for stellar astrophysics

Luca Antonucci, Leonardo Vanzi, Abner Zapata +16

We present PUCHEROS +, a new spectrograph developed as an enhanced version of PUCHEROS (Pontificia Universidad Catolica High Echelle Resolution Optical Spectrograph), which was the…

The rings of (2060) Chiron: Evidence of an evolving system

C. L. Pereira, F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy +54

The centaur (2060) Chiron has long been a candidate for hosting material in orbit, based on occultation and photometric and spectroscopic data. Here, we present a multichord stella…

PLATOSpec: a precise spectrograph in support of space missions

P. Kabáth, M. Skarka, A. Hatzes +42

The upcoming space missions that will characterize exoplanets, such as PLATO and Ariel, will collect huge amounts of data that will need to be complemented with ground-based observ…

Hidden massive eclipsing binaries in red supergiant systems: The hierarchical triple system KQ Puppis and other candidates

D. Jadlovský, L. Molnár, A. Ercolino +26

The majority of massive stars are part of binary systems that may interact during their evolution. However, not many RSGs are known binaries, and only a few have constrained orbita…

PLATOSpec's first results: planets WASP-35b and TOI-622b are on aligned orbits, and K2-237b is on a polar orbit

J. Zak, P. Kabath, H. M. J. Boffin +10

The spin-orbit angle between a stellar spin axis and its planetary orbital axis is a key diagnostic of planetary migration pathways, yet the mechanisms shaping the observed spin-or…

Once in a blue moon: detection of 'bluing' during debris transits in the white dwarf WD1145+017

N. Hallakoun, S. Xu, D. Maoz +16

The first transiting planetesimal orbiting a white dwarf was recently detected in K2 data of WD1145+017 and has been followed up intensively. The multiple, long, and variable trans…

New spectroscopic binary companions of giant stars and updated metallicity distribution for binary systems

P. Bluhm, M. I. Jones, L. Vanzi +10

We report the discovery of 24 spectroscopic binary companions to giant stars. We fully constrain the orbital solution for 6 of these systems. We cannot unambiguously derive the orb…
