Orbital motion and dynamical mass of the complex periodic variable binary system 2MASS J05082729-2101444
S. Curiel, G. N. Ortiz-León, V. J. S. Béjar +22
We used very long baseline interferometry to constrain the orbit of the binary system 2MASS J05082729-2101444. We observed the system with the VLBA in three epochs at a frequency o…
Stellar encounters in the solar neighbourhood and the special case of GJ~710
Eloi Fernandez-Puig, Juan Carlos Morales, Ignasi Ribas +2
We present a comprehensive characterisation of close stellar encounters in the solar vicinity, with a particular focus on placing the predicted fly-by of GJ~710 in context. This st…
Spinning out of focus: The challenge of rotational line broadening in exoplanet reflection spectroscopy
T. O. Winterhalder, K. Molaverdikhani, D. Cont +17
Detecting light reflected off the dayside of an exoplanet in high-resolution spectroscopic data has proved to be a notoriously difficult endeavour. Despite several attempts, the fa…
Mitigating stellar radial velocity jitter using orthogonal activity indices and a time-aware neural network
Jordi Blanco-Pozo, Manuel Perger, Guillem Anglada-Escudé +7
Despite recent advances in the precision of high-resolution spectrographs, the detection of Earth-like exoplanets is still limited by the effects of stellar activity, which introdu…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. A homogeneous catalogue of projected rotational velocities accounting for limb-darkening
R. Varas, G. Morello, M. Zechmeister +18
Stellar rotation is closely linked to both age and magnetic activity. Through gyrochronology, it provides a means to estimate stellar ages and trace the evolution of planetary syst…
Improving radial velocity precision with CARMENES-PLUS:An upgrade of the near-infrared spectrograph cooling system
R. Varas, R. Calvo-Ortega, P. J. Amado +25
CARMENES is a dual-channel high-resolution spectrograph at the 3.5 m Calar Alto telescope designed to detect low-mass planets around late-type dwarfs by measuring their radial velo…
