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…
The ESPRESSO transmission spectrum of HD189733b : Extracting the planetary sodium and lithium signatures amid stellar contamination
D. Mounzer, W. Dethier, C. Lovis +20
While transmission spectroscopy has allowed us to detect many atomic and molecular species in exoplanet atmospheres, the improvement in resolution and signal-to-noise ratio enabled…
Alkali phenoxides in comets
M. Fulle, P. Molaro, A. Rotundi +4
Potassium was first detected in spectra of the sungrazer comet Ikeya-Seki at the heliocentric distance rh = 0.15 au and, 48 years later, in comets PanSTARRS and ISON at rh = 0.46 a…
The ESPRESSO Redshift Drift Experiment I -- High-resolution spectra of the Lyman- forest of QSO J052915.80-435152.0
Andrea Trost, Catarina M. J. Marques, Stefano Cristiani +25
The measurement of the temporal evolution in the redshift of distant objects, the redshift drift, is a probe of universal expansion and cosmology. We perform the first steps toward…
