    Qatar Exoplanet Survey: Qatar-7b—A Very Hot Jupiter Orbiting a Metal-rich F-Star
    We present the discovery of Qatar-7b—a very hot and inflated giant gas planet orbiting close to its parent star. The host star is a relatively massive main...

    Radial velocity confirmation of a hot super-Neptune discovered by TESS with a warm Saturn-mass companion
    We report the discovery and confirmation of the planetary system TOI-1288. This late G dwarf harbours two planets: TOI-1288 b and TOI-1288 c. We combine TESS...

    Radial velocity confirmation of K2-100b: a young, highly irradiated, and low-density transiting hot Neptune
    We present a detailed analysis of HARPS-N radial velocity observations of K2-100, a young and active star in the Praesepe cluster, which hosts a transiting...

    Radial velocity follow-up of GJ1132 with HARPS. A precise mass for planet b and the discovery of a second planet
    The source GJ1132 is a nearby red dwarf known to host a transiting Earth-size planet. After its initial detection, we pursued an intense follow-up with the...
