CoRoT-2a magnetic activity: hints for possible star-planet interaction
Isabella Pagano, Antonino F. Lanza, Giuseppe Leto +3
CoRoT-2a is a young (about 0.5 Gyr) G7V star accompanied by a transiting hot-Jupiter, discovered by the CoRoT satellite (Alonso et al. 2008; Bouchy et al. 2008). An analysis of its…
Modelling solar-like variability for the detection of Earth-like planetary transits. II) Performance of the three-spot modelling, harmonic function fitting, iterative non-linear filtering and sliding boxcar filtering
A. S. Bonomo, S. Aigrain, P. Bordé +1
We present a comparison of four methods of filtering solar-like variability to increase the efficiency of detection of Earth-like planetary transits by means of box-shaped transit…
Magnetic activity in the photosphere of CoRoT-Exo-2a. Active longitudes and short-term spot cycle in a young Sun-like star
A. F. Lanza, I. Pagano, G. Leto +18
The space experiment CoRoT has recently detected transits by a hot Jupiter across the disc of an active G7V star (CoRoT-Exo-2a) that can be considered as a good proxy for the Sun a…
CoRoT and stellar activity: preliminary results from the modelling of CoRoT-Exo-2a
A. F. Lanza, I. Pagano, G. Leto +3
We present a preliminary analysis of the photospheric activity of CoRoT-Exo-2a, a young G7V star accompanied by a transiting hot Jupiter recently discovered by CoRoT. We apply spot…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission IV: CoRoT-Exo-4b: A transiting planet in a 9.2 day synchronous orbit
S. Aigrain, A. Collier Cameron, M. Ollivier +32
CoRoT, the first space-based transit search, provides ultra-high precision light curves with continuous time-sampling over periods, of up to 5 months. This allows the detection of…
Comparing the performance of stellar variability filters for the detection of planetary transits
A. S. Bonomo, A. F. Lanza
We have developed a new method to improve the transit detection of Earth-sized planets in front of solar-like stars by fitting stellar microvariability by means of a spot model. A…
