Reconnaissance of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanet system in the Lyman- line

V. Bourrier, D. Ehrenreich, P. J. Wheatley +7

The TRAPPIST-1 system offers the opportunity to characterize terrestrial, potentially habitable planets orbiting a nearby ultracool dwarf star. We performed a four-orbit reconnaiss…

Astrometric planet search around southern ultracool dwarfs III. Discovery of a brown dwarf in a 3-year orbit around DE0630-18

J. Sahlmann, P. F. Lazorenko, D. Segransan +4

Using astrometric measurements obtained with the FORS2/VLT camera, we are searching for low-mass companions around 20 nearby ultracool dwarfs. With a single-measurement precision o…

Analysis of spin-orbit alignment in the WASP-32, WASP-38, and HAT-P-27/WASP-40 systems

D. J. A. Brown, A. Collier Cameron, R. F. Díaz +14

We present measurements of the spin-orbit alignment angle, lambda, for the hot Jupiter systems WASP-32, WASP-38, and HAT-P-27/WASP-40, based on data obtained using the HARPS spectr…

The HARPS search for southern extrasolar planets: XXXIII. New multi-planet systems in the HARPS volume limited sample: a super-Earth and a Neptune in the habitable zone

G. Lo Curto, M. Mayor, W. Benz +10

The vast diversity of planetary systems detected to date is defying our capability of understanding their formation and evolution. Well-defined volume-limited surveys are the best…

The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XXXI. Magnetic activity cycles in solar-type stars: statistics and impact on precise radial velocities

C. Lovis, X. Dumusque, N. C. Santos +6

Context. Searching for extrasolar planets through radial velocity measurements relies on the stability of stellar photospheres. Aims. We aim at characterizing the statistical prope…

HD45364, a pair of planets in a 3:2 mean motion resonance

A. C. M. Correia, S. Udry, M. Mayor +8

Precise radial-velocity measurements with the HARPS spectrograph reveal the presence of two planets orbiting the solar-type star HD45364. The companion masses are 0.187 Mjup and 0.…
