The GAPS Programme at TNG. LXXX. Characterisation of the 400 Myr old multi-planet system K2-233

V. Fardella, S. Benatti, R. Spinelli +27

Understanding exoplanet physical properties is crucial for characterising their atmospheres and internal composition. Precise planetary masses are essential for constraining bulk d…

Why M-dwarf flares have limited impact on the atmospheric evaporation of sub-Neptunes and Earth-sized planets

Andrea Caldiroli, Francesco Haardt, Elena Gallo +4

M-type stars are prime targets for exoplanet searches within their habitable zones (HZs). These stars also exhibit significant magnetic flaring activity, particularly during their…

Non-Detections of Helium in the Young Sub-Jovian Planets K2-100b, HD 63433b, & V1298 Tau c

Munazza K. Alam, James Kirk, Leonardo A. Dos Santos +10

We search for excess in-transit absorption of neutral helium at 1.083 m in the atmospheres of the young (<800 Myr) sub-Jovian (0.2-0.5 ) planets HD 63433b, K2-100b, a…

TIC 378898110: A Bright, Short-Period AM CVn Binary in TESS

Matthew J. Green, J. J. Hermes, Brad N. Barlow +22

AM CVn-type systems are ultracompact, helium-accreting binary systems which are evolutionarily linked to the progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae and are expected to be strong G…

Survival in the Neptune desert: LTT 9779 b kept its atmosphere thanks to an unusually X-ray faint host star

Jorge Fernández Fernández, Peter Wheatley, George King +1

The Neptunian desert is a region in period-radius parameter space with very few Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods. Amongst these, LTT 9779 b is the only known Neptune…

TOI-332 b: a super dense Neptune found deep within the Neptunian desert

Ares Osborn, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández +49

To date, thousands of planets have been discovered, but there are regions of the orbital parameter space that are still bare. An example is the short period and intermediate mass/r…
