PLATOSpec: a precise spectrograph in support of space missions
P. Kabáth, M. Skarka, A. Hatzes +42
The upcoming space missions that will characterize exoplanets, such as PLATO and Ariel, will collect huge amounts of data that will need to be complemented with ground-based observ…
PLATOSpec's first results: planets WASP-35b and TOI-622b are on aligned orbits, and K2-237b is on a polar orbit
J. Zak, P. Kabath, H. M. J. Boffin +10
The spin-orbit angle between a stellar spin axis and its planetary orbital axis is a key diagnostic of planetary migration pathways, yet the mechanisms shaping the observed spin-or…
Ten Aligned Orbits: Planet Migration in the Era of JWST and Ariel
J. Zak, H. M. J. Boffin, A. Bocchieri +3
Understanding the diverse formation and migration pathways that shape exoplanetary systems requires characterizing both their atmospheric properties and their orbital dynamics. A k…
Stellar obliquities of eight close-in gas giant exoplanets
J. Zak, H. M. J. Boffin, E. Sedaghati +4
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect allows us to measure the projected stellar obliquity of exoplanets. From the spin-orbit alignment, planet formation and migration theories can be tes…
