Revisiting TOI-4438 and TOI-442 planetary systems with new observations from SPIRou and TESS
J. Serrano Bell, G. Hébrard, E. Martioli +26
We present a comprehensive re-analysis of two star-planet systems: TOI-4438, an M3.5V star hosting a mini-Neptune in a 7.4-day orbit, and TOI-442, an M1V star with a 4-day period p…
Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs
Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98
Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…
An Aligned Very-Low-Mass Star Orbiting an M dwarf and Obliquity Patterns Across Giant Planets, Brown Dwarfs, and Binary Stars
Tianjun Gan, Alexandrine L'Heureux, Étienne Artigau +4
Stellar obliquity serves as a key diagnostic for tracing the dynamical evolution of bound systems-from giant planets and brown dwarfs to stellar binaries-revealing whether these di…
TOI-4552 b: A new ultra-short period rocky world revealed by NIRPS and TESS
Avidaan Srivastava, René Doyon, François Bouchy +57
A particularly intriguing subclass of rocky exoplanets are the ultra-short period (USP) worlds that orbit their host stars in less than a day. These planets are particularly rare a…
Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs
Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65
The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…
The SPIRou Legacy Survey: Detection of a nearby world orbiting in the habitable zone of Gl725B achieved by correcting strong telluric contamination in near-infrared radial velocities with WAPITI
M. Ould-Elhkim, C. Moutou, J. -F. Donati +15
M dwarfs are prime targets in the search for exoplanets because of their prevalence and because low-mass planets can be better detected with radial velocity (RV) methods. In partic…
Two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an Earth-sized candidate in the M5V-M6V binary system TOI-2267
S. Zúñiga-Fernández, F. J. Pozuelos, M. Dévora-Pajares +63
We report two warm Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting the close binary TOI-2267 (M5+M6, separation ~8 au). Data from TESS and ground-based facilities confirm the planets, but we canno…
Characterizing planetary systems with SPIRou: Detection of a sub-Neptune in a 6-day period orbit around the M dwarf Gl 410
A. Carmona, X. Delfosse, M. Ould-Elhkim +42
The search for exoplanets around nearby M dwarfs represents a crucial milestone in the census of planetary systems in the vicinity of our Solar System. Since 2018 our team is carry…
The SPIRou Legacy Survey: near-infrared and optical radial velocity analysis of Gl 480 and Gl 382 using SPIRou, HARPS and CARMENES spectrographs
M. Ould-Elhkim, C. Moutou, J-F. Donati +13
Context: Advancements in the field of exoplanetary research have extended radial velocity (RV) observations from the optical to the near-infrared (nIR) domain. M dwarf stars, chara…
TOI-3568 b: a super-Neptune in the sub-Jovian desert
E. Martioli, R. P. Petrucci, E. Jofre +42
The sub-Jovian desert is a region in the mass-period and radius-period parameter space, typically encompassing short-period ranges between super-Earths and hot Jupiters, that exhib…
Characterisation of TOI-406 as showcase of the THIRSTEE program: A 2-planet system straddling the M-dwarf density gap
G. Lacedelli, E. Pallè, R. Luque +31
The exoplanet sub-Neptune population currently poses a conundrum, as to whether small-size planets are volatile-rich cores without an atmosphere, or rocky cores surrounded by a H-H…
Characterizing planetary systems with SPIRou: a temperate sub-Neptune exoplanet orbiting the nearby fully-convective star GJ 1289 and a candidate around GJ 3378
C. Moutou, M. Ould-Elhkim, J. -F. Donati +12
We report the discovery of two new exoplanet systems around fully convective stars, found from the radial-velocity (RV) variations of their host stars measured with the nIR spectro…
Atmospheric Waves Driving Variability and Cloud Modulation on a Planetary-Mass Object
Michael K. Plummer, Ji Wang, Étienne Artigau +2
Planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs at the transition (\,K) from relatively red L dwarfs to bluer mid-T dwarfs show enhanced spectrophotometric variabilit…
Early science with SPIRou: near-infrared radial velocity and spectropolarimetry of the planet-hosting star HD 189733
Claire Moutou, Shweta Dalal, Jean-Francois Donati +16
SPIRou is the newest spectropolarimeter and high-precision velocimeter that has recently been installed at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope on Maunakea, Hawaii. It operates in th…
