Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903

Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…

The magnetically quiet solar surface dominates HARPS-N solar RVs during low activity
Ben S. Lakeland, Tim Naylor, Raphaëlle Haywood +15
Using images from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager aboard the \textit{Solar Dynamics Observatory} (SDO/HMI), we extract the radial-velocity (RV) signal arising from the suppres…
Masses, Revised Radii, and a Third Planet Candidate in the "Inverted" Planetary System Around TOI-1266
Ryan Cloutier, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Serena Wurmser +40
Is the population of close-in planets orbiting M dwarfs sculpted by thermally driven escape or is it a direct outcome of the planet formation process? A number of recent empirical…

F. Rescigno, G. Hébrard, A. Vanderburg +64
We present the characterisation of an inner mini-Neptune in a 9.22920050.0000063 day orbit and an outer mono-transiting sub-Saturn planet in a 95.50 day orbi…

M. Stalport, M. Cretignier, S. Udry +26
The Rocky Planet Search (RPS) program is dedicated to a blind radial velocity (RV) search of planets around bright stars in the Northern hemisphere, using the high-resolution echel…
Sub-m s upper limits from a deep HARPS-N radial-velocity search for planets orbiting HD 166620 and HD 144579
Ancy Anna John, Andrew Collier Cameron, João P. Faria +3
Minimising the impact of stellar variability in Radial Velocity (RV) measurements is a critical challenge in achieving the 10 cm s precision needed to hunt for Earth twins.…
Predicting convective blueshift and radial-velocity dispersion due to granulation for FGK stars
S. Dalal, R. D. Haywood, A. Mortier +2
To detect Earth-mass planets using the Doppler method, a major obstacle is to differentiate the planetary signal from intrinsic stellar variability (e.g., pulsations, granulation,…
