Time-resolved X-ray spectra of Proxima Centauri as seen by XMM-Newton
A. Damonte, I. Pillitteri, A. Maggio +2
Stellar soft X-ray ([1, 100] Angstrom) and Extreme Ultraviolet (also EUV, [100, 920] Angstrom; jointly, XUV) radiation affects the evolution and chemistry of exoplanet atmospheres.…
Selection and characterisation of the M-dwarf targets in the PLATO Input Catalogue
L. Prisinzano, M. Montalto, G. Piotto +33
The ESA's PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of Stars (PLATO) mission aims to detect planets orbiting around dwarfs and subgiant stars with spectral type F5 or later, including M-…
Long-term X-ray variability of the multiple-planet host L 98-59: Hints of an activity cycle
I. Pillitteri, S. Bellotti, S. Benatti +7
High-energy irradiation in X-rays and UV (XUV) can transform the planetary atmospheres through photoevaporation and photochemistry. This is more crucial for M stars, whose habitabl…
The Hot Neptune Initiative (HONEI) II. TOI-5795 b: A hot super-Neptune orbiting a metal-poor star
F. Manni, L. Naponiello, L. Mancini +31
The formation of Neptune planets with orbital periods less than 10\,days remains uncertain. They might have developed similarly to longer-period counterparts, emerged from rare col…
First detection of variable radio emission originating from the infant planetary system V1298 Tau
M. Damasso, O. Morata, S. Kaur +13
V1298 Tau is a very young and magnetically active star which hosts a benchmark multi-planetary system to study planet formation and evolutionary history at the earliest stages. We…
A joint effort to discover and characterize two resonant mini Neptunes around TOI-1803 with TESS, HARPS-N and CHEOPS
T. Zingales, L. Malavolta, L. Borsato +130
We present the discovery of two mini Neptunes near a 2:1 orbital resonance configuration orbiting the K0 star TOI-1803. We describe their orbital architecture in detail and suggest…
