Resolving star spots on WASP-85 A using high-resolution transit spectroscopy

Vedad Kunovac, Heather Cegla, Hritam Chakraborty +23

Stellar surface inhomogeneities such as spots and faculae introduce Doppler variations that challenge exoplanet detection via the radial velocity method. While their impact on disc…

Exploring the stellar surface phenomena of WASP-52 and HAT-P-30 with ESPRESSO

H. M. Cegla, N. Roguet-Kern, M. Lendl +21

We analyse spectroscopic and photometric transits of the hot Jupiters WASP-52b and HAT-P30b obtained with ESPRESSO, Eulercam and NGTS for both targets, and additional TESS data for…

Lower-than-expected flare temperatures for TRAPPIST-1

A. J. Maas, E. Ilin, M. Oshagh +12

Although high energetic radiation from flares is a potential threat to exoplanet atmospheres and may lead to surface sterilization, it might also provide the extra energy for low-m…

A hot sub-Neptune in the desert and a temperate super-Earth around faint M dwarfs: Color validation of TOI-4479b and TOI-2081b

E. Esparza-Borges, H. Parviainen, F. Murgas +45

We report the discovery and validation of two TESS exoplanets orbiting faint M dwarfs: TOI-4479b and TOI-2081b. We have jointly analyzed space (TESS mission) and ground based (MuSC…

A transiting, temperate mini-Neptune orbiting the M dwarf TOI-1759 unveiled by TESS

Néstor Espinoza, Enric Pallé, Jonas Kemmer +66

We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-1759~b, a temperate (400 K) sub-Neptune-sized exoplanet orbiting the M~dwarf TOI-1759 (TIC 408636441). TOI-1759 b was observed b…

CaRM: Exploring the chromatic Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. The cases of HD 189733b and WASP-127b

E. Cristo, N. C. Santos, O. Demangeon +34

In this paper we introduce CaRM, a semi-automatic code for the retrieval of broadband transmission spectra of transiting planets through the chromatic Rossiter-McLaughlin method. W…
