Correcting for Telluric Absorption: Methods, Case Studies, and Release of the TelFit Code
read the original abstract
Ground-based astronomical spectra are contaminated by the Earth's atmosphere to varying degrees in all spectral regions. We present a Python code that can accurately fit a model to the telluric absorption spectrum present in astronomical data, with residuals of $\sim 3-5\%$ of the continuum for moderately strong lines. We demonstrate the quality of the correction by fitting the telluric spectrum in a nearly featureless A0V star, HIP 20264, as well as to a series of dwarf M star spectra near the 819 nm sodium doublet. We directly compare the results to an empirical telluric correction of HIP 20264 and find that our model-fitting procedure is at least as good and sometimes more accurate. The telluric correction code, which we make freely available to the astronomical community, can be used as a replacement for telluric standard star observations for many purposes.

The CRIMSON survey I: super-stellar SiO in the directly imaged companion TWA 5 B from high-resolution M-band spectroscopy
High-resolution M-band spectroscopy detects super-stellar SiO in TWA 5 B, implying no significant magnesium-silicate clouds and formation consistent with core accretion beyond the CO snowline or gravitational instabil...

Star-planet interaction in the Proxima system
Spectroscopic monitoring detects phase-locked flares to Proxima d and flare-intensity modulation by Proxima b, producing a -16 G polar field estimate for the inner planet via Poynting-flux modeling.

Evidence for elemental diffusion in the eclipsing binary star AI Phoenicis
In the eclipsing binary AI Phe, the hotter component is depleted in Fe and Mg relative to its cooler subgiant companion by about 0.1 dex, matching the atomic-diffusion signature seen in the open cluster M67.

CORALIE radial-velocity search for companions around evolved stars (CASCADES) V. Three planetary companions and achievable precision
Three Jupiter-mass planets are detected around two low-luminosity red giants with 15–18 yr CORALIE RVs; a multi-exposure strategy averages pulsations below 5 m/s.

CORALIE radial-velocity search for companions around evolved stars (CASCADES) V. Three planetary companions and achievable precision
Three massive planets detected around HD125136 (2.26 MJup, 850 d) and HD127195 (0.66 and 0.78 MJup, 535 d and 834 d) via Bayesian Keplerian modeling of CORALIE RV series; one additional signal attributed to activity.
