The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs : Understanding the wavelength dependence of radial velocity measurements
S. V. Jeffers, J. R. Barnes, P. Schöfer +22
Context. Current exoplanet surveys are focused on detecting small exoplanets orbiting in the liquid-water habitable zones of their host stars. Despite the recent significant advanc…
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…
Physical properties of trans-Neptunian object (143707) 2003 UY117 derived from stellar occultation and photometric observations
M. Kretlow, J. L. Ortiz, J. Desmars +49
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are considered to be among the most primitive objects in our Solar System. Knowledge of their primary physical properties is essential for understand…
CAVITY, Calar Alto Void Integral-field Treasury surveY and project extension
I. Pérez, S. Verley, L. Sánchez-Menguiano +58
We have learnt in the last decades that the majority of galaxies belong to high density regions interconnected in a sponge-like fashion. This large-scale structure is characterised…
The KOBE experiment: K-dwarfs Orbited By habitable Exoplanets. Project goals, target selection and stellar characterization
J. Lillo-Box, N. C. Santos, A. Santerne +33
The detection of habitable worlds is one of humanity's greatest endeavors. So far, astrobiological studies show that one of the most critical components for life development is liq…
A giant exoplanet orbiting a very low-mass star challenges planet formation models
J. C. Morales, A. J. Mustill, I. Ribas +179
Statistical analyses from exoplanet surveys around low-mass stars indicate that super-Earth and Neptune-mass planets are more frequent than gas giants around such stars, in agreeme…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Two temperate Earth-mass planet candidates around Teegarden's Star
M. Zechmeister, S. Dreizler, I. Ribas +182
Context. Teegarden's Star is the brightest and one of the nearest ultra-cool dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. For its late spectral type (M7.0V), the star shows relatively little…
CAFE2: an upgrade to the CAFE high-resolution spectrograph. Commissioning results and new public pipeline
J. Lillo-Box, J. Aceituno, S. Pedraz +10
The Calar Alto Fiber-fed Échelle spectrograph (CAFE) is a high-resolution spectrographs with high-precision radial velocity capabilities mounted in the 2.2m telescope of Calar Alto…
High-resolution confirmation of an extended helium atmosphere around WASP-107b
R. Allart, V. Bourrier, C. Lovis +7
Probing the evaporation of exoplanet atmospheres is key to understanding the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. The main tracer of evaporation in the UV is the Lyman-…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs - HD 147379b: A nearby Neptune in the temperate zone of an early-M dwarf
A. Reiners, I. Ribas, M. Zechmeister +169
We report on the first star discovered to host a planet detected by radial velocity (RV) observations obtained within the CARMENES survey for exoplanets around M dwarfs. HD 147379…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs: High-resolution optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of 324 survey stars
A. Reiners, M. Zechmeister, J. A. Caballero +170
The CARMENES radial velocity (RV) survey is observing 324 M dwarfs to search for any orbiting planets. In this paper, we present the survey sample by publishing one CARMENES spectr…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. First visual-channel radial-velocity measurements and orbital parameter updates of seven M-dwarf planetary systems
T. Trifonov, M. Kürster, M. Zechmeister +166
Context: The main goal of the CARMENES survey is to find Earth-mass planets around nearby M-dwarf stars. Seven M-dwarfs included in the CARMENES sample had been observed before wit…
The 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observation campaign in support of the Rosetta mission
C. Snodgrass, M. F. A'Hearn, F. Aceituno +112
We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67…
The Calar Alto Observatory: current status and future instrumentation
D. Barrado, U. Thiele, J. Aceituno +13
The Calar Alto Observatory, located at 2168m height above the sea level in continental Europe, holds a significant number of astronomical telescopes and experiments, covering a lar…
