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…
New substellar candidates identified through deep learning in the F150 sample of the large-scale SHINE direct imaging survey
Carles Cantero Mitjans, Mariam Sabalbal, Olivier Absil +3
Context. The SPHERE High-contrast Imaging survey for Exoplanets (SHINE) represents one of the largest direct imaging campaigns, targeting over 400 young, nearby stars with the goal…
An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and a Sub-Neptune Orbiting the K dwarf TOI-4311
Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrew Collier Cameron +95
We report the discovery and characterisation of the multi-planetary system around TOI-4311, a K dwarf kinematically between the Galactic thick disk and Hercules stream. TOI-4311 ho…
The multi-planet system TOI-5624: Four transiting sub-Neptunes with an outer companion revealed by transit-timing variations
A. Bonfanti, D. Gandolfi, P. Leonardi +96
Following the 2022 alert of a TESS object of interest transiting TOI-5624 (a G7 V star 100 pc away), a CHEOPS campaign in 2023 detected four planetary signals at $P_b\approx3…
Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs
Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98
Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…
TOI-4552 b: A new ultra-short period rocky world revealed by NIRPS and TESS
Avidaan Srivastava, René Doyon, François Bouchy +57
A particularly intriguing subclass of rocky exoplanets are the ultra-short period (USP) worlds that orbit their host stars in less than a day. These planets are particularly rare a…
