L. V. Barkhudaryan, A. A. Hakobyan, M. H. Gevorgyan +6
The origin of the near-maximum-light Si II 6355 velocity diversity among supernovae Ia (SNe Ia) remains uncertain. Previous studies have suggested that high-velocity (HV) and no…
Predicting Radial Velocities from Rossiter-McLaughlin Time Series Observations
Vardan Adibekyan, Olivier Demangeon, Diogo Teixeira +7
The Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect produces apparent radial velocity (RV) shifts through line-profile distortions caused by a transiting planet blocking different regions of the r…
HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
The small transiting planet population revealed by ESPRESSO with extreme precision radial velocities
M. J. Hobson, B. Lavie, F. Bouchy +35
Small planets are extremely common in the Galaxy, including planets with masses and radii between those of Earth and Neptune. Characterizing these planets' masses requires ultra-pr…
Inferring stellar metallicity and elemental abundances from kinematic and spectroscopic data using machine learning -- Implications for exoplanet host stars
V. Adibekyan, B. M. T. B. Soares, S. G. Sousa +7
(abridged) Elemental abundances of FGK stars can be derived routinely from high-resolution optical spectra, but this remains considerably more difficult for cooler stars. Machine-l…
An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and a Sub-Neptune Orbiting the K dwarf TOI-4311
Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrew Collier Cameron +95
We report the discovery and characterisation of the multi-planetary system around TOI-4311, a K dwarf kinematically between the Galactic thick disk and Hercules stream. TOI-4311 ho…
The PLATO Input Catalogue of targets (tPIC) for the first Long Pointing Field
M. Montalto, G. Piotto, P. M. Marrese +31
The ESA PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission is designed to detect terrestrial planets in the habitable zones of solar-type stars. Owing to telemetry constr…
Reinforcing Prestige: Journal Citation Biases in Astronomy
Vardan Adibekyan, Olivier Demangeon, Tiago Campante +3
Citations are essential for recognizing scientific contributions, yet citation behavior is shaped by more than just relevance or quality. We analyzed approximately 255,000 refereed…
TILARA: Template-Independent Line-by-line Algorithm for Radial velocity Analysis. I. Description of the code and application on a Sun-like star
C. San Nicolas Martinez, N. C. Santos, V. Adibekyan +3
Precise radial velocities (RVs) are commonly derived through cross-correlation or template-matching methods, both of which rely on a reference spectrum that can introduce biases wh…
Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903
Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173
Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…
Revisiting the exoplanet radius valley with host stars from SWEET-Cat
Juma Kamulali, Vardan Adibekyan, Benard Nsamba +7
The radius valley,a deficit of planets near 2 , was observed among exoplanets of radius 5 with periods 100 days by NASA's…
