Calcium versus silicon ejecta velocities and decline rates in supernovae Ia: The role of high-velocity features

A. A. Hakobyan, M. H. Gevorgyan, A. G. Karapetyan +4

Photospheric and high-velocity features (PVFs and HVFs) of Si II 6355 and Ca II IR3 lines in supernova Ia (SN Ia) spectra provide insights into ejecta structure, energetics, and…

Transit Timing Variations in HIP 41378: CHEOPS and TESS confirm a non-transiting sixth planet in the system

P. Leonardi, L. Borsato, L. Pagliaro +89

In multiple-planet systems, gravitational interactions of exoplanets could lead to transit timing variations (TTVs), whose amplitude becomes significantly enhanced when planets are…

Metallicity regulates planet formation across all masses

Max Nguyen, Vardan Adibekyan

The role of stellar metallicity in shaping planetary systems is central to our understanding of planet formation. While the core accretion paradigm is widely accepted as the domina…

TOI-283 b: A transiting mini-Neptune in a 17.6-day orbit discovered with TESS and ESPRESSO

F. Murgas, E. Pallé, A. Suárez Mascareño +51

Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are missing from our Solar System, yet they appear to be the most abundant planetary types in our Galaxy. A detailed characterization of key planets…

ATREIDES I. Embarking on a trek across the exo-Neptunian landscape with the TOI-421 system

V. Bourrier, M. Steiner, A. Castro-González +75

The distribution of close-in exoplanets is shaped by the interplay between atmospheric and dynamical processes. The Neptunian Desert, Ridge, and Savanna illustrate the sensitivity…

A four-planet system orbiting the old thick disk star TOI-1203

D. Gandolfi, A. Alnajjarine, L. M. Serrano +120

TOI-1203 is a bright (V=8.6) G3 V star known to host a transiting warm sub-Neptune on a 25.5 d orbit. Here we report on an intensive high-precision radial velocity and photometric…

TOI-2322: two transiting rocky planets close to the stellar rotation period and its first harmonic

M. J. Hobson, A. Suárez Mascareño, C. Lovis +42

Context. Active regions on the stellar surface can induce quasi-periodic radial velocity (RV) variations that can mimic planets and mask true planetary signals. These spurious sign…

The CHEOPS view of HD 95338b: refined transit parameters, and a search for exomoons

Sz. Kálmán, A. E. Simon, A. Deline +90

Despite the ever-increasing number of known exoplanets, no uncontested detections have been made of their satellites, known as exomoons. The quest to find exomoons is at the forefr…

A comprehensive study on radial velocity signals using ESPRESSO: Pushing precision to the 10 cm/s level

P. Figueira, J. P. Faria, A. M. Silva +30

We analyse ESPRESSO data for the stars HD10700, HD20794, HD102365, and HD304636 acquired via its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) programme. We characterise the stars' radial vel…

The TOI-1117 Multi-planetary System: 3 sub-Neptunes, 1 in both the Neptunian Desert and Radius Valley

Isobel S. Lockley, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández +33

We present the discovery of three sub-Neptune planets around TOI-1117, a Sun-like star with mass , radius , age Gyr and ef…

PoET: the Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope

Nuno C. Santos, Alexandre Cabral, Inês Leite +42

The detection and characterisation of other "Earths", orbiting other suns, is a bold objective of present-day astrophysics. However, this quest is severely challenged by astrophysi…

Two neighbours of the ultra-short-period Earth-sized planet K2-157 b in the warm Neptunian savanna

A. Castro-González, F. Bouchy, A. C. M. Correia +30

The formation and evolution of ultra-short-period (USP) planets is poorly understood. However, it is widely thought that these planets migrated inwards through interactions with ou…

TOI-512: Super-Earth transiting a K-type star discovered by TESS and ESPRESSO

J. Rodrigues, S. C. Barros, N. C. Santos +38

One of the goals of the ESPRESSO guaranteed time observations (GTOs) at the ESO 8.2m telescope is to follow up on candidate planets from transit surveys such as the TESS mission. H…

The NCORES Program: Precise planetary masses, null results, and insight into the planet mass distribution near the radius gap

David J. Armstrong, Ares Osborn, Remo Burn +39

NCORES was a large observing program on the ESO HARPS spectrograph, dedicated to measuring the masses of Neptune-like and smaller transiting planets discovered by the TESS satellit…
