Doppler follow-up of OGLE transiting companions in the Galactic bulge

Francois Bouchy, F. Pont, C. Melo +4

Two years ago, the OGLE-III survey (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) announced the detection of 54 short period multi-transiting objects in the Galactic bulge (Udalski et…

The "missing link": a 4-day period transiting exoplanet around OGLE-TR-111

Frederic Pont, Francois Bouchy, Didier Queloz +4

We report the discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter around OGLE-TR-111, from our radial velocity follow-up of OGLE transiting candidates in Carina. The planet has a mass of 0.53 +-…

The Geneva-Copenhagen survey of the Solar neighbourhood: Ages, metallicities, and kinematic properties of 14,000 F and G dwarfs

B. Nordstrom, M. Mayor, J. Andersen +6

We present and discuss new determinations of metallicity, rotation, age, kinematics, and Galactic orbits for a complete, magnitude-limited, and kinematically unbiased sample of 16,…

Two new "very hot Jupiters" among the OGLE transiting candidates

F. Bouchy, F. Pont, N. C. Santos +4

As a result of a radial velocity follow-up of OGLE planetary transit candidates in Carina, we report the discovery of two new transiting planets with very short orbital periods: OG…

Isochrone ages for field dwarfs: method and application to the age-metallicity relation

Frederic Pont, Laurent Eyer

A new method is presented to compute age estimates from theoretical isochrones using temperature, luminosity and metallicity data for individual stars. Based on Bayesian probabilit…
