On the Age of Stars Harboring Transiting Planets
C. Melo, N. C. Santos, F. Pont +5
Results of photometric surveys have brought to light the existence of a population of giant planets orbiting their host stars even closer than the hot Jupiters (HJ), with orbital p…
A correlation between the heavy element content of transiting extrasolar planets and the metallicity of their parent stars
Tristan Guillot, Nuno C. Santos, Frédéric Pont +3
Nine extrasolar planets with masses between 110 and 430M are known to transit their star. The knowledge of their masses and radii allows an estimate of their composition, but uncer…
Jupiter's composition: sign of a (relatively) late formation in a chemically evolved protosolar disk
Tristan Guillot, Ricardo Hueso
It has been proposed that the enrichment in noble gases found by Galileo in Jupiter's atmosphere can be explained by their delivery inside cold planetesimals. We propose instead th…
High resolution spectroscopy of stars with transiting planets. The cases of OGLE-TR-10, 56, 111, 113, and TrES-1
N. C Santos, F. Pont, C. Melo +7
Context: During the past years photometric surveys, later complemented by follow-up radial-velocity measurements, have revealed the presence of several new extra-solar transiting p…
