Diving into the planetary system of Proxima with NIRPS -- Breaking the metre per second barrier in the infrared
Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, Ãtienne Artigau, Lucile Mignon +138
We obtained 420 high-resolution spectra of Proxima, over 159 nights, using the Near Infra Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS). We derived 149 nightly binned radial velocity measurements wi…

Blind search for activity-sensitive lines in the near-infrared using HARPS and NIRPS observations of Proxima and Gl 581
João Gomes da Silva, Elisa Delgado-Mena, Nuno C. Santos +145
Stellar activity variability is one of the main obstacles to the detection of Earth-like planets using the RV method. The aim of this work is to measure the effect of activity in t…

Hydride ion continuum hides absorption signatures in the NIRPS near-infrared transmission spectrum of the ultra-hot gas giant WASP-189b
Valentina Vaulato, Stefan Pelletier, David Ehrenreich +77
Ultra-hot Jupiters showcase extreme atmospheric conditions, including molecular dissociation, ionisation, and significant day-to-night temperature contrasts. Their close proximity…
