Of the thousands of exoplanets detected to date, only a very small fraction are classified as circumbinary planets. When considering only low-mass planets, their number becomes negligible. This rarity may be partly explained by observational biases, but also by the challenging dynamical environment that often prevents...

Ultracool dwarfs are promising targets for detecting and characterising temperate terrestrial exoplanets. Their flux peaks in the near-infrared, beyond the wavelength cut-off of the silicon-based CCDs used by ground-based surveys dedicated to observing them, such as SPECULOOS. We present the on-sky performance of SPIRI...

Eclipsing binaries consisting of a solar-type primary and an M dwarf secondary are key laboratories to study objects at the bottom of the main sequence. Fundamental parameters of such stars have a direct impact upon exoplanetary studies, as searches for temperate Earth-sized planets focus on M dwarf hosts. Eclipsing bi...

Precise and accurate measurements of host stars are crucial in the search for Earth-like exoplanets, and M-dwarfs are favourable targets in this quest. Low-mass eclipsing binaries offer unique opportunities to empirically determine stellar masses and radii for low-mass stars where stellar models may be systematically b...
