The SPIRou Legacy Survey: Detection of a nearby world orbiting in the habitable zone of Gl725B achieved by correcting strong telluric contamination in near-infrared radial velocities with WAPITI

M. Ould-Elhkim, C. Moutou, J. -F. Donati +15

M dwarfs are prime targets in the search for exoplanets because of their prevalence and because low-mass planets can be better detected with radial velocity (RV) methods. In partic…

Measuring the magnetic fields in the chromospheres of low-mass stars

Tianqi Cang, Pascal Petit, Jean-François Donati +11

Magnetic fields in the upper atmospheres of solar-like stars are believed to provide an enormous amount of energy to power the hot coronae and drive large-scale eruptions that coul…

Far beyond the Sun: III. The magnetic cycle of Horologii

Julián D. Alvarado-Gómez, Gaitee A. J. Hussain, Eliana M. Amazo-Gómez +6

We present a comprehensive investigation of the magnetic cycle of the young, active solar analogue Horologii ( Hor) based on intensive spectropolarimetric monitoring using…

Chromaticity of stellar activity in radial velocities : Anti-correlated families of lines on the M dwarf EV Lac with SPIRou and SOPHIE

Pierre Larue, Xavier Delfosse, Andres Carmona +33

Context. In the search for exoplanets using radial velocities (RV), stellar activity has become one of the main limiting factors for detectability. Fortunately, activity-induced RV…

Using Doppler Imaging to model stellar activity and search for planets around Sun-like stars

Baptiste Klein, Suzanne Aigrain, Michael Cretignier +9

Doppler Imaging (DI) is a well-established technique to map a physical field at a stellar surface from a time series of high-resolution spectra. In this proof-of-concept study, we…

The magnetic and spin-down properties of slowly rotating fully convective M dwarfs

Victor See, Louis Amard, Stefano Bellotti +19

The evolution of the magnetism, winds and rotation of low-mass stars are all linked. One of the most common ways to probe the magnetic properties of low-mass stars is with the Zeem…
