A super-Earth transiting a nearby low-mass star
- D. Charbonneau, Z. K. Berta, +16 authors T. Forveille
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 16 December 2009
A decade ago, the detection of the first transiting extrasolar planet provided a direct constraint on its composition and opened the door to spectroscopic investigations of extrasolar planetary… Expand
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets XXXIV. Occurrence, mass distribution and orbital properties of super-Earths and Neptune-mass planets ?
- M. Mayor, M. Marmier, +11 authors N. Santos
- Physics
- 12 September 2011
Aims. We report on the results of an 8-year survey carried out at the La Silla Observatory with the HARPS spectrograph to detect and characterize planets in the super-Earth and Neptune mass regime.… Expand
An Earth-mass planet orbiting α Centauri B
- X. Dumusque, F. Pepe, +8 authors S. Udry
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 8 November 2012
Exoplanets down to the size of Earth have been found, but not in the habitable zone—that is, at a distance from the parent star at which water, if present, would be liquid. There are planets in the… Expand
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XI. Super-Earths (5 and 8 M{⊕}) in a 3-planet system
- S. Udry, X. Bonfils, +19 authors Verrieres-le-Buisson
- Physics
- 29 April 2007
This Letter reports on the detection of two super-Earth planets in the Gl 581 system, which is already known to harbour a hot Neptune. One of the planets has a mass of 5 M⊕ and resides at the “warm”… Expand
The HARPS search for Earth-like planets in the habitable zone - I. Very low-mass planets around HD 20794, HD 85512, and HD 192310
Context. In 2009 we started an intense radial-velocity monitoring of a few nearby, slowly-rotating and quiet solar-type stars within the dedicated HARPS-Upgrade GTO program. Aims. The goal of this… Expand
An extrasolar planetary system with three Neptune-mass planets
- C. Lovis, M. Mayor, +11 authors Jean-Pierre Sivan
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 18 May 2006
Over the past two years, the search for low-mass extrasolar planets has led to the detection of seven so-called ‘hot Neptunes’ or ‘super-Earths’ around Sun-like stars. These planets have masses 5–20… Expand
Planets around evolved intermediate-mass stars. I. Two substellar companions in the open clusters NG
Context. Many efforts are being made to characterize extrasolar planetary systems and unveil the fundamental mechanisms of planet formation. An important aspect of the problem, which remains largely… Expand
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect of CoRoT-3b and HD 189733b
We present radial-velocity sequences acquired during three transits of the exoplanet HD 189733b and one transit of CoRoT-3b. We applied a combined Markov-chain Monte-Carlo analysis of spectroscopic… Expand
Detection of a transit of the super-Earth 55 Cancri e with warm Spitzer
We report on the detection of a transit of the super-Earth 55 Cnc e with warm Spitzer in IRAC’s 4.5 μm band. Our MCMC analysis includes an extensive modeling of the systematic effects affecting warm… Expand
