![D.2: Transit signals recovery analysis in the TESS light curve of TOI-210. TOI-210 b is shown in gold at its period of 9.01 days. Candidate planets at 2.15 and 3.76 days tentatively detected in the NIRPS RVs are indicated as lower limits, with arrows extending from minimum (iron density) to realistic (Earth density) radii based on their minimum masses. The expected transit depths fall within the TESS sensitivity, suggesting that if these RV signals are planets, they are unlikely to be transiting. -- [astro-ph.EP]](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/A-temperate.png?resize=1200%2C713&ssl=1)
[astro-ph.EP] Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes dominate the exoplanet population, yet their compositions, formation mechanisms, and capability of retaining atmospheres remain poorly understood. M-type stars offer a unique opportunity to investigate these […]

TOI-4552 b: A New Ultra-short Period Rocky World Revealed By NIRPS And TESS
A particularly intriguing subclass of rocky exoplanets are the ultra-short period (USP) worlds that orbit their host stars in less than a day. These planets are particularly rare around M […]

Hidden Gems In TESS: Sherlock Finds Two New Rocky Planets Around Nearby M Dwarfs
The Hidden Gems project searches the TESS data for additional planets transiting low-mass stars in confirmed systems. Our goal is to identify planet candidates that are below the detection threshold […]
