Possible detection of phase changes from the non-transiting planet HD 46375b by CoRoT

P. Gaulme, M. Vannier, T. Guillot +19

The present work deals with the detection of phase changes in an exoplanetary system. HD 46375 is a solar analog known to host a non-transiting Saturn-mass exoplanet with a 3.0236…

A collision in 2009 as the origin of the debris trail of asteroid P/2010 A2

Colin Snodgrass, Cecilia Tubiana, Jean-Baptiste Vincent +15

The peculiar object P/2010 A2 was discovered by the LINEAR near-Earth asteroid survey in January 2010 and given a cometary designation due to the presence of a trail of material, a…

Saturated torque formula for planetary migration in viscous disks with thermal diffusion: recipe for protoplanet population synthesis

Frederic S. Masset, Jules Casoli

We provide torque formulae for low mass planets undergoing type I migration in gaseous disks. These torque formulae put special emphasis on the horseshoe drag, which is prone to sa…

Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission XIV. CoRoT-11b: a transiting massive "hot-Jupiter" in a prograde orbit around a rapidly rotating F-type star

D. Gandolfi, G. Hébrard, R. Alonso +52

The CoRoT exoplanet science team announces the discovery of CoRoT-11b, a fairly massive hot-Jupiter transiting a V=12.9 mag F6 dwarf star (M*=1.27 +/- 0.05 Msun, R*=1.37 +/- 0.03 R…

First results on Martian carbon monoxide from Herschel/HIFI observations

P. Hartogh, M. I. Błęcka, C. Jarchow +48

We report on the initial analysis of Herschel/HIFI carbon monoxide (CO) observations of the Martian atmosphere performed between 11 and 16 April 2010. We selected the (7-6) rotatio…

Herschel/HIFI observations of Mars: first detection of O_2 at submillimetre wavelengths and upper limits on HCl and H_2O_2

P. Hartogh, C. Jarchow, E. Lellouch +47

We report on an initial analysis of Herschel/HIFI observations of hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen peroxide (H_2O_2), and molecular oxygen (O_2) in the Martian atmosphere performe…

Water production in comet 81P/Wild 2 as determined by Herschel/HIFI

M. de Val-Borro, P. Hartogh, J. Crovisier +42

The high spectral resolution and sensitivity of Herschel/HIFI allows for the detection of multiple rotational water lines and accurate determinations of water production rates in c…

The triaxial ellipsoid dimensions, rotational pole, and bulk density of ESA Rosetta target asteroid (21) Lutetia

J. D. Drummond, A. Conrad, W. J. Merline +6

We seek the best size estimates of the asteroid (21) Lutetia, the direction of its spin axis, and its bulk density, assuming its shape is well described by a smooth featureless tri…

Long-term & large-scale viscous evolution of dense planetary rings

Julien Salmon, Sébastien Charnoz, Aurélien Crida +1

We investigate the long-term and large-scale viscous evolution of dense planetary rings using a simple 1D numerical code. We use a physically realistic viscosity model derived from…

HIFI Observations of Water in the Atmosphere of Comet C/2008 Q3 (Garradd)

P. Hartogh, J. Crovisier, M. de Val-Borro +42

High-resolution far-infrared and sub-millimetre spectroscopy of water lines is an important tool to understand the physical and chemical properties of cometary atmospheres. We pres…

Neptune's Atmospheric Composition from AKARI Infrared Spectroscopy

Leigh N. Fletcher, Pierre Drossart, Martin Burgdorf +2

Aims: Disk-averaged infrared spectra of Neptune between 1.8 and 13 m, obtained by the AKARI Infrared Camera (IRC) in May 2007, have been analysed to (a) determine the globally-a…

Puzzling asteroid 21 Lutetia: our knowledge prior to the Rosetta fly-by

I. N. Belskaya, S. Fornasier, Yu. N. Krugly +5

A wide observational campaign was carried out in 2004-2009 aimed to complete the ground-based investigation of Lutetia prior to the Rosetta fly-by in July 2010. We have obtained BV…
