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…
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…
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…
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…
Revisiting the multi-planetary system of the nearby star HD 20794: Confirmation of a low-mass planet in the habitable zone of a nearby G-dwarf
N. Nari, X. Dumusque, N. C. Hara +44
Close-by Earth analogs and super-Earths are of primary importance because they will be preferential targets for the next generation of direct imaging instruments. Bright and close-…
