Finding extra-solar planets in the presence of stellar jitter
The RV method is responsible for discovering the majority of planets that orbit stars other than our Sun. However, one problem with this technique is that...
Fingerprints of our Neighbors: A Spectral Library for Characterizing the Coldest Stars, Brown Dwarfs and Extrasolar Planets.
Over the past two decades, advances in infrared instrumentation have allowed us to identify a vast and previously unseen population of low-temperature stars...
First Release of PLATO Consortium Stellar Limb-darkening Coefficients
We release the first grid of stellar limb-darkening coefficients (LDCs) and intensity profiles (IPs) computed by the consortium of the PLAnetary Transits and...
Gliese 12 b: A Temperate Earth-sized Planet at 12 pc Ideal for Atmospheric Transmission Spectroscopy
Recent discoveries of Earth-sized planets transiting nearby M dwarfs have made it possible to characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial planets via follow-up...
Gliese 486 b: a Rosetta stone for the study of exoplanets
An international scientific team , with the participation of the Institutito de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has measured the mass and radius of an Earth-like...
We present a revised mass measurement for HD 119130 b (aka K2-292 b), a transiting planet (P = 17 days, R p = R ⊕) orbiting a chromospherically inactive G dwarf...
HD 191939: Three Sub-Neptunes Transiting a Sun-like Star Only 54 pc Away
We present the discovery of three sub-Neptune-sized planets transiting the nearby and bright Sun-like star HD 191939 (TIC 269701147, TOI 1339), a K s = 7.18 mag...
Heaviest element yet detected in an exoplanet atmosphere
An international team of astronomers, in which IAC researchers participate, have discovered barium, the heaviest element ever found in an exoplanet atmosphere...
