The GAPS programme at TNG LXXXII. The first atmospheric investigation of the gas giant WASP-13b at high resolution with GIARPS

D. Sicilia, M. Basilicata, G. Guilluy +17

Low-density transiting gas giant exoplanets are key benchmarks for atmospheric studies. Despite their large-scale heights, many of them remain poorly characterised. We present the…

Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts

A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101

This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…

The GAPS programme at TNG LXXVIII. Phase-resolved detection of multiple atomic species in the atmosphere of KELT-20b/MASCARA-2b

F. Biassoni, F. Borsa, L. Fossati +15

Among the different classes of exoplanets, ultra-hot Jupiters represent prime laboratories for atmospheric characterisation. With an equilibrium temperature of ~2300 K, KELT-20b/MA…

Refined parameters, formation, and dynamical stability of the wild exoplanet system K2-312=HD 80653

L. Naponiello, E. Poretti, K. Rice +24

The architecture of planetary systems hosting ultra-short-period (USP) planets is a key diagnostic for understanding formation and migration scenarios. The presence of outer giant…

The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG LXXVII. Occurrence rates of small close-in planets in the presence of cold Jupiters

A. Ruggieri, S. Desidera, M. Pinamonti +18

Context. The architecture of our Solar System, with inner small planets (ISPs) and outer giants, may or may not be common. Understanding whether a correlation exists between ISPs a…

The GAPS programme at TNG LXXV. Validating and confirming Gaia substellar astrometric candidates with HARPS-N

D. Barbato, M. Pinamonti, A. Sozzetti +22

The astrometric measurements provided by the Gaia space mission represent a key advancement in the search and characterization of exoplanets, helping in particular to solve the mas…
