CAFE follow-up of TESS hot Jupiter candidates left behind: I. Five newly confirmed planets and a false positive
J. Lillo-Box, C. Cifuentes, O. Balsalobre-Ruza +56
Hot Jupiters are key targets for understanding planet formation, migration, and atmospheres. Yet, most ground-based follow-up resources for the TESS mission are focused on confirmi…
The ORCA-TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science case and commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory
Martin M. Roth, Pasko Roje, Stella Vjesnica +18
We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. Th…
Improving radial velocity precision with CARMENES-PLUS:An upgrade of the near-infrared spectrograph cooling system
R. Varas, R. Calvo-Ortega, P. J. Amado +25
CARMENES is a dual-channel high-resolution spectrograph at the 3.5 m Calar Alto telescope designed to detect low-mass planets around late-type dwarfs by measuring their radial velo…
Upper limits on atmospheric abundances of KELT-11b and WASP-69b from a retrieval approach
F. Lesjak, L. Nortmann, D. Cont +18
WASP-69b and KELT-11b are two low-density hot Jupiters, which are expected to show strong atmospheric features in their transmission spectra. Such features offer valuable insights…
KOBE-1: The first planetary system from the KOBE survey. Two planets likely residing in the sub-Neptune mass regime around a late K-dwarf
O. Balsalobre-Ruza, J. Lillo-Box, A. M. Silva +35
K-dwarf stars are promising targets in the exploration of potentially habitable planets. Their properties, falling between G and M dwarfs, provide an optimal trade-off between the…
