   Companions of Hot Jupiters: two decades of radial velocity monitoring with CORALIE

   Léna Parc, João P. Faria, François Bouchy et al. · 2026 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Hot Jupiters are thought to form through multiple pathways, some of which can leave observable signatures in the architecture of their planetary systems. Massive outer companions, in particular, can provide important constraints on the dynamical histories of hot Jupiters. We aim to characterize the occurrence rate and orbital properties of additional giant companions in hot Jupiter systems, and to investigate whether these companions provide evidence for the role of dynamical interactions in shaping the hot Jupiter population. We perform a homogeneous long-term radial-velocity analysis of 147 WASP hot Jupiter systems observed with the CORALIE spectrograph between 2007 and 2025. We identify o…

   In situ formation of hot Jupiters with companion super-Earths

   Sanson T. S. Poon, Richard P. Nelson, Gavin A. L. Coleman · 2021 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · cité 12 fois · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Observations have confirmed the existence of multiple-planet systems containing a hot Jupiter and smaller planetary companions. Examples include WASP-47, Kepler-730, and TOI-1130. We examine the plausibility of forming such systems in situ using $N$-body simulations that include a realistic treatment of collisions, an evolving protoplanetary disc and eccentricity/inclination damping of planetary embryos. Initial conditions are constructed using two different models for the core of the giant planet: a 'seed-model' and an 'equal-mass-model'. The former has a more massive protoplanet placed among multiple small embryos in a compact configuration. The latter consists only of equal-mass embryos. …

   Combining Gaia and GRAVITY: Characterising Five New Directly Detected Substellar Companions

   T. O. Winterhalder, S. Lacour, A. Mérand et al. · 2024 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · cité 8 fois · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Precise mass constraints are vital for the characterisation of brown dwarfs and exoplanets. Here, we present how the combination of data obtained by Gaia and GRAVITY can help enlarge the sample of substellar companions with measured dynamical masses. We show how the Non-Single-Star (NSS) two-body orbit catalogue contained in Gaia DR3 can be used to inform high angular resolution follow-up observations with GRAVITY. Applying the method presented in this work for eight Gaia candidate systems, we detect all eight predicted companions, seven of which being previously unknown and five of substellar nature. Among the sample is Gaia DR3 2728129004119806464 B, which - detected at a angular separatio…

   The COBREX archival survey: improved constraints on the occurrence rate of wide-orbit substellar companions. I. A uniform re-analysis of 400 stars from the GPIES survey

   V. Squicciarini, J. Mazoyer, A. -M. Lagrange et al. · 2024 · A&A 693, A54 (2025) · cité 6 fois · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Direct imaging (DI) campaigns are uniquely suited to probing the outer regions around young stars and looking for giant exoplanet and brown dwarf companions, hence providing key complementary information to radial velocity (RV) and transit searches for the purpose of demographic studies. However, the critical 5-20 au region, where most giant planets are thought to form, remains poorly explored, lying in-between RV and DI capabilities. Significant gains in detection performances can be attained at no instrumental cost by means of advanced post-processing techniques. In the context of the COBREX project, we have assembled the largest collection of archival DI observations to date in order to u…

   A Model to Map Brown Dwarf Companions to White Dwarfs in Partial Secondary Eclipse

   Arthur D. Adams, Yifan Zhou, Daniel Apai et al. · 2026 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Eclipse mapping is a well-established technique for constraining the spatial emission of hot Jupiter exoplanets. Brown dwarfs in ultra-short orbits around white dwarfs are an analog to hot Jupiters that can only ever be eclipsed within a limited range of latitudes. We adapt the eigenmapping method to disentangle the signals from the ever- and never-occulted regions. The result of this signal separation is a super-position of map structures, yielding sharp boundaries at the occultation region. We introduce a model that penalizes the harmonic complexity of the model map with Tikhonov regularization, whose parameters are tuned to reproduce the fit quality of the eigenmapping model. We use JWST …

   Direct spectroscopic confirmation of the young embedded proto-planet WISPIT 2c

   Chloe Lawlor, Richelle F. van Capelleveen, Guillaume Bourdarot et al. · 2026 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · cité 9 fois · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   WISPIT 2 is a nearby young star with a multi-ringed disk which was recently confirmed to host a ~4.9 MJup gas giant planet embedded in a large (60 au) gap at a radial separation of 57 au from the host star. We confirm and characterise a second, close-in planet in the WISPIT 2 system using a combination of new VLT/SPHERE H-band dual-polarisation imaging and VLTI/GRAVITY K-band interferometric observations of the WISPIT 2 system. The GRAVITY detection is consistent with a point-like source while its extracted K-band spectrum shows CO band-head absorption at 2.3 microns and a continuum shape consistent with a young giant planet. From the GRAVITY data we extract a medium resolution K-band spectr…

   Updated Planetary Mass Constraints of the Young V1298 Tau System Using MAROON-X

   James Sikora, Jason Rowe, Saugata Barat et al. · 2023 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · cité 7 fois · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   The early K-type T-Tauri star, V1298 Tau ($V=10\,{\rm mag}$, ${\rm age}\approx20-30\,{\rm Myr}$) hosts four transiting planets with radii ranging from $4.9-9.6\,R_\oplus$. The three inner planets have orbital periods of $\approx8-24\,{\rm d}$ while the outer planet's period is poorly constrained by single transits observed with \emph{K2} and \emph{TESS}. Planets b, c, and d are proto-sub-Neptunes that may be undergoing significant mass loss. Depending on the stellar activity and planet masses, they are expected to evolve into super-Earths/sub-Neptunes that bound the radius valley. Here we present results of a joint transit and radial velocity (RV) modelling analysis, which includes recently …

   Uncovering the true periods of the young sub-Neptunes orbiting TOI-2076

   Hugh P. Osborn, Andrea Bonfanti, Davide Gandolfi et al. · 2022 · Earth and Planetary Astrophysics · cité 30 fois · Résumé IA disponible

   Résumé scientifique

   Context: TOI-2076 is a transiting three-planet system of sub-Neptunes orbiting a bright (G = 8.9 mag), young ($340\pm80$ Myr) K-type star. Although a validated planetary system, the orbits of the two outer planets were unconstrained as only two non-consecutive transits were seen in TESS photometry. This left 11 and 7 possible period aliases for each. Aims: To reveal the true orbits of these two long-period planets, precise photometry targeted on the highest-probability period aliases is required. Long-term monitoring of transits in multi-planet systems can also help constrain planetary masses through TTV measurements. Methods: We used the MonoTools package to determine which aliases to follo…
