- Description:
- We report on the first star discovered to host a planet detected by radial velocity (RV) observations obtained within the CARMENES survey for exoplanets around M dwarfs. HD 147379 (V=8.9mag, M=0.58+/-0.08M_{sun}_), a bright M0.0 V star at a distance of 10.7pc, is found to undergo periodic RV variations with a semi-amplitude of K=5.1+/-0.4m/s and a period of P=86.54+/-0.06d. The RV signal is found in our CARMENES data, which were taken between 2016 and 2017, and is supported by HIRES/Keck observations that were obtained since 2000. The RV variations are interpreted as resulting from a planet of minimum mass m_P_sini=25+/-2M_{Earth}_, 1.5 times the mass of Neptune, with an orbital semi-major axis a=0.32au and low eccentricity (e<0.13). HD 147379 b is orbiting inside the temperate zone around the star, where water could exist in liquid form. The RV time-series and various spectroscopic indicators show additional hints of variations at an approximate period of 21.1d (and its first harmonic), which we attribute to the rotation period of the star.

- Description:
- Space-based transit surveys such as K2 and the Transiting Exoplanets Survey Satellite (TESS) allow the detection of small transiting planets with orbital periods greater than 10 days. Few of these warm Neptunes are currently known around stars bright enough to allow for detailed follow-up observations dedicated to their atmospheric characterization. The 21-day period and 3.95R_Earth_ planet HD106315c has been discovered by K2 based on the observation of two of its transits. We observed HD 106315 using the 1.2m Euler telescope equipped with the EulerCam camera on two occasions to confirm the transit using broadband photometry and refine the planetary period. Based on two observed transits of HD106315c, we detect its ~1mmag transit and obtain a precise measurement of the planetary ephemerides, which are critical for planning further follow-up observations. We used the attained precision together with the predicted yield from the TESS mission to evaluate the potential for ground-based confirmation of Neptune-sized planets found by TESS. We find that one-meter class telescopes on the ground equipped with precise photometers could substantially contribute to the follow-up of 162 TESS candidates orbiting stars with magnitudes of V<14. Of these candidates, 74 planets orbit stars with V<12 and 12 planets orbit V<10, which makes them high-priority objects for atmospheric characterization with high-end instrumentation.

- Description:
- We present synoptic optical photometry of HD 189733, the chromospherically active parent star of one of the most intensively studied exoplanets. We have significantly extended the timespan of our previously reported observations and refined the estimate of the stellar rotation period by more than an order of magnitude: P=11.953+/-0.009-days. We derive a lower limit on the inclination of the stellar rotation axis of 54{deg} (with 95% confidence), corroborating earlier evidence that the stellar spin axis and planetary orbital axis are well aligned.

- Description:
- Differences in the elemental abundances of planet-hosting stars in binary systems can give important clues and constraints about planet formation and evolution. In this study we performed a high-precision, differential elemental abundance analysis of a wide binary system, HD 80606/80607, based on high-resolution spectra with high signal-to-noise ratio obtained with Keck/HIRES. HD 80606 is known to host a giant planet with the mass of four Jupiters, but no planet has been detected around HD 80607 so far. We determined stellar parameters as well as abundances for 23 elements for these two stars with extremely high precision. Our main results are that (i) we confirmed that the two components share very similar chemical compositions, but HD 80606 is marginally more metal-rich than HD 80607, with an average difference of +0.013+/-0.002dex ({sigma}=0.009dex); and (ii) there is no obvious trend between abundance differences and condensation temperature. Assuming that this binary formed from material with the same chemical composition, it is difficult to understand how giant planet formation could produce the present-day photospheric abundances of the elements we measure. We cannot exclude the possibility that HD 80606 might have accreted about 2.5 to 5M_Earth_ material onto its surface, possibly from a planet destabilised by the known highly eccentric giant.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of a system of two super-Earths orbiting the moderately active K-dwarf HD 176986. This work is part of the RoPES RV program of G- and K-type stars that combines radial velocity from both HARPS and HARPS-N spectrograph to search for short-period terrestrial planets. HD 176986 b and c are super-Earth mass planets with masses of 5.74 and 9.18 Me, with orbital periods of 6.49 and 16.82 days, at a distances of 0.063 and 0.119AU, in orbits that are consistent with circular. The host star is a K2.5 dwarf, and in spite of its modest level of chromospheric activity log(R'hk)=-4.90+/-0.04, shows a complex activity pattern. Along with the discovery of the planets we study the magnetic cycle and rotation of the star. HD 176986 proves to be suitable to test the available techniques of RV analysis and our understanding of stellar activity.

- Description:
- We explore the feasibility of detecting Earth analogs around Sun-like stars using the radial velocity method by investigating one of the largest radial velocities datasets for the one of the most stable radial-velocity stars HD20794. We proceed by disentangling the Keplerian signals from correlated noise and activity-induced variability. We diagnose the noise using the differences between radial velocities measured at different wavelength ranges, so-called "differential radial velocities", as well as the combination of radial velocities measured for other stars to account for instrumental effects. We apply this method to the radial velocities measured by HARPS, and identify four signals at 18, 89, 147 and 330d. The two signals at periods of 18 and 89d are previously reported and are better quantified in this work. The signal at a period of about 147d is reported for the first time, and corresponds to a super-Earth with a minimum mass of 4.59 Earth mass located 0.51AU from HD20794. We also find a significant signal at a period of about 330d corresponding to a super-Earth or Neptune in the habitable zone. Since this signal is close to the annual sampling period and significant periodogram power in some noise proxies are found close to this signal, further observations and analyses are required to confirm it. The analyses of the eccentricity and consistency of signals provide weak evidence for the existence of the previously reported 43d signal and a new signal at a period of about 11.9d with a semi amplitude of 0.4m/s. We find that the detection of a number of signals with radial velocity variations around 0.5m/s likely caused by low mass planet candidates demonstrates the important role of noise modeling in searching for Earth analogs.

- Description:
- We present the analysis of the entire HARPS observations of three stars that host planetary systems: HD1461, HD40307, and HD204313. The data set spans eight years and contains more than 200 nightly averaged velocity measurements for each star. This means that it is sensitive to both long-period and low-mass planets and also to the e ects induced by stellar activity cycles. We modelled the data using Keplerian functions that correspond to planetary candidates and included the short- and long-term effects of magnetic activity. A Bayesian approach was taken both for the data modelling, which allowed us to include information from activity proxies such as log(R'_HK_) in the velocity modelling, and for the model selection, which permitted determining the number of significant signals in the system. The Bayesian model comparison overcomes the limitations inherent to the traditional periodogram analysis. We report an additional super-Earth planet in the HD1461 system. Four out of the six planets previously reported for HD40307 are confirmed and characterised. We discuss the remaining two proposed signals. In particular, we show that when the systematic uncertainty associated with the techniques for estimating model probabilities are taken into account, the current data are not conclusive concerning the existence of the habitable-zone candidate HD40307 g. We also fully characterise the Neptune-mass planet that orbits HD204313 in 34.9 days.

- Description:
- We present new radial velocity measurements for three low-metallicity solar-like stars observed with the SOPHIE spectrograph and its predecessor ELODIE, both installed at the 193cm telescope of the Haute-Provence Observatory, allowing the detection and characterization of three new giant extrasolar planets in intermediate periods of 1.7 to 3.7yr. All three stars, HD 17674, HD 42012 and HD 29021 present single giant planetary companions with minimum masses between 0.9 and 2.5M_Jup_. The range of periods and masses of these companions, along with the distance of their host stars, make them good targets to look for astrometric signals over the lifetime of the new astrometry satellite Gaia. We discuss the preliminary astrometric solutions obtained from the first Gaia data release.

- Description:
- In 2009 we started, within the dedicated HARPS-Upgrade GTO program, an intense radial-velocity monitoring of a few nearby, slowly-rotating and quiet solar-type stars. The goal of this campaign is to gather, with high cadence and continuity, very-precise radial-velocity data in order to detect tiny signatures of very-low-mass stars potentially in the habitable zone of their parent stars. 10 stars have been selected among the most stable stars of the original HARPS high-precision program, uniformly spread in hour angle, such that three to four of them are observable at any time of the year. For each star we record 50 data points spread over the observing season. The data point consists of three nightly observations of a total integration time of 10 minutes each and separated by 2 hours. This is an observational strategy adopted to minimize stellar pulsation and granulation noise. In this paper we present the first results of this ambitious program. The radial-velocity data and the orbital parameters of five new and one confirmed low-mass planets around the stars HD 20794, HD 85512 and HD 192310, respectively, are reported and discussed, among which a system of three super-Earths and one harboring a 3.6-Earth-mass planet at the inner edge of the habitable zone. This result already confirms previous indications that low-mass planets seem to be very frequent around solar-type stars and that this occurrence frequency may be higher than 30%.
