The Beauty of k2: Probing Stellar Interiors Using Apsidal Motion. I. The Benchmark Massive Binary HD 152248
Sophie Rosu, Luca Sciarini, Sylvia Ekström +4
Over the last decades, several independent studies have shown the need for large convective boundary mixing (CBM) and convective core sizes in massive stars to reproduce a variety…
On the origin of the rotation of massive stars
André Oliva, Facundo D. Moyano, Luca Sciarini +3
We explore the origin of the rotation rates of massive stars. Contrary to their low-mass siblings, most massive stars do not have detectable magnetic fields, so that star-disk inte…
Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs
Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65
The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…
TOI-3862 b: A dense super-Neptune deep in the hot Neptune desert
Ilaria Carleo, Amadeo Castro-González, Enric Pallé +61
The structure and evolution of close-in exoplanets are shaped by atmospheric loss and migration processes, which give rise to key population features such as the hot Neptune desert…
Precise mass and radius determination for two new and one known Neptune-sized planets around G Dwarf hosts
Ilaria Carleo, Grzegorz Nowak, Felipe Murgas +56
As part of the KESPRINT collaboration, we present the discovery and characterization of three exoplanets in the sub-Neptune to super-Neptune regime, spanning key regions of the exo…
