Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 528(4), 5703-5722. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3866

Observations of low-mass stars have frequently shown a disagreement between observed stellar radii and radii predicted by theoretical stellar structure models. This ‘radius inflation’ problem could have an impact on both stellar and exoplanetary scie... Read More about The EBLM Project– XI.

Context. Different theories have been developed to explain the origins and properties of close-in giant planets, but none of them alone can explain all of the properties of the warm Jupiters (WJs, Porb = 10–200 days). One of the most intriguing chara... Read More about The GAPS programme at TNG: L. TOI-4515 b: An eccentric warm Jupiter orbiting a 1.2 Gyr-old G-star.

Context. Multiwavelength photometry of the secondary eclipses of extrasolar planets is able to disentangle the reflected and thermally emitted light radiated from the planetary dayside. Based on this, we can measure the planetary geometric albedo Ag,... Read More about Constraining the reflective properties of WASP-178 b using CHEOPS photometry.

The zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) is a critical phase for stellar angular momentum evolution, as stars transition from contraction-dominated spin-up to magnetic wind-dominated spin-down. We present the first robust observational constraints on rotati... Read More about Constraining Stellar Rotation at the Zero-age Main Sequence with TESS.
