Detection of an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting the nearby ultracool dwarf star SPECULOOS-3

Michaël Gillon, Peter P. Pedersen, Benjamin V. Rackham +81

Located at the bottom of the main sequence, ultracool dwarf stars are widespread in the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, their extremely low luminosity has left their planetary p…

Refining the transit timing and photometric analysis of TRAPPIST-1: Masses, radii, densities, dynamics, and ephemerides

Eric Agol, Caroline Dorn, Simon L. Grimm +32

We have collected transit times for the TRAPPIST-1 system with the Spitzer Space Telescope over four years. We add to these ground-based, HST and K2 transit time measurements, and…

Disentangling the planet from the star in late type M dwarfs: A case study of TRAPPIST-1g

Hannah R. Wakeford, Nikole K. Lewis, Julia Fowler +10

The atmospheres of late M stars represent a significant challenge in the characterization of any transiting exoplanets due to the presence of strong molecular features in the stell…

Atmospheric reconnaissance of the habitable-zone Earth-sized planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1

J. de Wit, H. R. Wakeford, N. Lewis +14

Seven temperate Earth-sized exoplanets readily amenable for atmospheric studies transit the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 (refs 1,2). Their atmospheric regime is unknown a…
