Exoplanets smaller than Neptune are common around red dwarf stars (M dwarfs), with those
that transit their host star constituting the bulk of known temperate worlds amenable for …

The early evolution of a supernova (SN) can reveal information about the environment and
the progenitor star. When a star explodes in vacuum, the first photons to escape from its …

The discovery of only a handful of exoplanets required establishing a correlation between
giant planet occurrence and metallicity of their host stars. More than 20 years have already …

Stars and planets both form by accreting material from a surrounding disk. Because they
grow from the same material, theory predicts that there should be a relationship between …

Context. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun. This small, low-mass, mid M dwarf is
known to host an Earth-mass exoplanet with an orbital period of 11.2 days within the …

In no other field of astrophysics has the impact of new instrumentation been as substantial
as in the domain of exoplanets. Before 1995 our knowledge of exoplanets was mainly based …

We carried out a Bayesian homogeneous determination of the orbital parameters of 231
transiting giant planets (TGPs) that are alone or have distant companions; we employed …

We analyze 5108 AFGKM stars with at least five high-precision radial velocity points, as well
as Gaia and Hipparcos astrometric data, utilizing a novel pipeline developed in previous …

Context. KELT-9 b exemplifies a newly emerging class of short-period gaseous exoplanets
that tend to orbit hot, early type stars–termed ultra-hot Jupiters. The severe stellar irradiation …

In recent years, the advent of a new generation of radial velocity instruments has allowed us
to detect planets with increasingly lower mass and to break the one Earth-mass barrier. Here …
