The GAPS Programme at TNG XXVIII -- A pair of hot-Neptunes orbiting the young star TOI-942
Ilaria Carleo, Silvano Desidera, Domenico Nardiello +48
Both young stars and multi-planet systems are primary objects that allow us to study, understand and constrain planetary formation and evolution theories. We validate the physical…
ESPRESSO@VLT -- On-sky performance and first results
F. Pepe, S. Cristiani, R. Rebolo +97
ESPRESSO is the new high-resolution spectrograph of ESO's Very-Large Telescope (VLT). It was designed for ultra-high radial-velocity precision and extreme spectral fidelity with th…
An unusually low density ultra-short period super-Earth and three mini-Neptunes around the old star TOI-561
G. Lacedelli, L. Malavolta, L. Borsato +38
Based on HARPS-N radial velocities (RVs) and TESS photometry, we present a full characterisation of the planetary system orbiting the late G dwarf TOI-561. After the identification…
A precise architecture characterization of the Men planetary system
M. Damasso, A. Sozzetti, C. Lovis +97
The bright star Men was chosen as the first target for a radial velocity follow-up to test the performance of ESPRESSO, the new high-resolution spectrograph at the ESO's Very-L…
Characterization of the K2-38 planetary system. Unraveling one of the densest planets known to date
B. Toledo-Padrón, C. Lovis, A. Suárez Mascareño +90
We characterized the transiting planetary system orbiting the G2V star K2-38 using the new-generation echelle spectrograph ESPRESSO. We carried out a photometric analysis of the av…
The GAPS Programme at TNG -- XXIV. An eccentric Neptune-mass planet near the inner edge of the BD-11 4672 habitable zone
D. Barbato, M. Pinamonti, A. Sozzetti +34
With the growth of comparative exoplanetology, it is increasingly clear that investigating the relationships between inner and outer planets plays a key role in discriminating betw…
Revisiting Proxima with ESPRESSO
A. Suárez Mascareño, J. P. Faria, P. Figueira +88
We aim to confirm the presence of Proxima b using independent measurements obtained with the new ESPRESSO spectrograph, and refine the planetary parameters taking advantage of its…
TOI-1235 b: a keystone super-Earth for testing radius valley emergence models around early M dwarfs
Ryan Cloutier, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Jonathan Irwin +85
Small planets on close-in orbits tend to exhibit envelope mass fractions of either effectively zero or up to a few percent depending on their size and orbital period. Models of the…
Two transiting hot Jupiters from the WASP survey: WASP-150b and WASP-176b
Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco, Y. Almleaky +49
We report the discovery of two transiting exoplanets from the WASP survey, WASP-150b and WASP-176b. WASP-150b is an eccentric ( = 0.38) hot Jupiter on a 5.6 day orbit around a $…
The GAPS programme at TNG XXII. The GIARPS view of the extended helium atmosphere of HD189733 b accounting for stellar activity
G. Guilluy, V. Andretta, F. Borsa +48
Exoplanets orbiting very close to their host star are strongly irradiated. This can lead the upper atmospheric layers to expand and evaporate into space. The metastable helium (HeI…
The GAPS Programme at TNG -- XXIII. HD 164922 d: a close-in super-Earth discovered with HARPS-N in a system with a long-period Saturn mass companion
S. Benatti, M. Damasso, S. Desidera +41
In the framework of the Global Architecture of Planetary Systems (GAPS) project we collected more than 300 spectra with HARPS-N at the TNG for the bright G9V star HD164922. This ta…
Neutral Iron Emission Lines From The Day-side Of KELT-9b -- The GAPS Programme With HARPS-N At TNG XX
L. Pino, J. M. Désert, M. Brogi +47
We present the first detection of atomic emission lines from the atmosphere of an exoplanet. We detect neutral iron lines from the day-side of KELT-9b (Teq 4, 000 K). We com…
Searching for the near infrared counterpart of Proxima c using multi-epoch high contrast SPHERE data at VLT
R. Gratton, A. Zurlo, H. Le Coroller +43
Proxima Centauri is known to host an earth-like planet in its habitable zone; very recently a second candidate planet was proposed based on radial velocities. At quadrature, the ex…
Expectations for the confirmation of Proxima c from a long-term radial velocity follow-up
Mario Damasso, Fabio Del Sordo
Proxima c, a candidate second planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, was detected with the radial velocity method. The announced long orbital period (5.21 years), and…
A pair of TESS planets spanning the radius valley around the nearby mid-M dwarf LTT 3780
Ryan Cloutier, Jason D. Eastman, Joseph E. Rodriguez +84
We present the confirmation of two new planets transiting the nearby mid-M dwarf LTT 3780 (TIC 36724087, TOI-732, , , =0.374 R, =0.401 M$_{\…
An ultra-short period rocky super-Earth orbiting the G2-star HD 80653
G. Frustagli, E. Poretti, T. Milbourne +26
Ultra-short period (USP) planets are a class of exoplanets with periods shorter than one day. The origin of this sub-population of planets is still unclear, with different formatio…
