Magnetic field measurements in a sample of Class I and flat-spectrum protostars observed with SPIRou
L. Drouglazet, E. Alecian, A. Sousa +27
Magnetic fields play a crucial role throughout stellar evolution, regulating angular momentum, channelling accretion, and launching jets and outflows. While the magnetic properties…
Tempawral: A Time-Resolved Retrieval Framework for Variable Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets
Fei Wang, Ben Burningham, Stuart Littlefair +4
Brown dwarfs and exoplanets are thought to host complex atmospheric phenomena such as clouds, storms, and chemical heterogeneity, akin to weather patterns on Earth. These features…
Characterizing planetary systems with SPIRou: questions about the magnetic cycle of 55 Cnc A and two new planets around B
C. Moutou, P. Petit, P. Charpentier +12
One of the first exoplanet hosts discovered thirty years ago, the star 55 Cnc has been constantly observed ever since. It is now known to host at least five planets with orbital pe…
Characterizing planetary systems with SPIRou: Detection of a sub-Neptune in a 6-day period orbit around the M dwarf Gl 410
A. Carmona, X. Delfosse, M. Ould-Elhkim +42
The search for exoplanets around nearby M dwarfs represents a crucial milestone in the census of planetary systems in the vicinity of our Solar System. Since 2018 our team is carry…
Six-yr SPIRou monitoring of the young planet-host dwarf AU Mic
J. -F. Donati, P. I. Cristofari, C. Moutou +10
In this paper we revisit our spectropolarimetric and velocimetric analysis of the young M dwarf AU Mic based on data collected with SPIRou at the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope, ov…
A systematic bias in template-based RV extraction algorithms
André M. Silva, N. C. Santos, J. P. Faria +30
In this paper we identify and explore a previously unidentified, multi meter-per-second, systematic correlation between time and RVs inferred through TM and LBL methods. We evaluat…
