TOI-3288 b and TOI-4666 b: two gas giants transiting low-mass stars characterised by NIRPS
Yolanda G. C. Frensch, François Bouchy, Gaspare Lo Curto +62
Gas giant planets orbiting low-mass stars are uncommon outcomes of planet formation. Increasing the sample of well-characterised giants around early M dwarfs will enable population…
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…
Studying the variability of the He triplet to understand the detection limits of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres
Samson J. Mercier, Xavier Dumusque, Vincent Bourrier +20
With more than a dozen significant detections, the helium triplet has emerged as a key tracer of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres. This near-infrared feature can be observed from…
Hydride ion continuum hides absorption signatures in the NIRPS near-infrared transmission spectrum of the ultra-hot gas giant WASP-189b
Valentina Vaulato, Stefan Pelletier, David Ehrenreich +77
Ultra-hot Jupiters showcase extreme atmospheric conditions, including molecular dissociation, ionisation, and significant day-to-night temperature contrasts. Their close proximity…
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…
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…
