Many areas of astrophysics, including exoplanetary studies, rely on precise and accurate stellar parameters. This demands that uncertainties on these parameters truly reflect all b…
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…
