Study of Planetary Systems around Giant Stars
M. I. Jones, J. S. Jenkins, P. Rojo
More than 450 exoplanets have currently been detected, most of them by the radial velocity (RV) technique. While the majority of exoplanets have been found around main-sequence (MS…
Identifying A Stars in the CoRoT Fields IRa01, LRa01 and LRa02
D. Sebastian, E. W. Guenther
Up to now, planet search programs have concentrated on main sequence stars later than spectral type F5. However, identifying planets of early type stars would be interesting. For e…
Connections between Tilted Accretion Disks around White Dwarfs and Substellar Companions
M. M. Montgomery
Accretion disks in white dwarf systems are believed to be tilted. In a recent publication, the lift force has been suggested to be a source to disk tilt, a source that is likely re…
Towards a New Prescription for the Tidal Capture of Planets, Brown Dwarfs and Stellar Companions
N. Madappatt Alikutty, O. De Marco, J. Nordhaus +1
We study the evolution of the orbit of a planetary companion as the primary star evolves during the red giant branch phase. Our aim is to determine a prescription for the capture r…
Radial Velocity Survey of Low-Mass Companions to sdB Stars
L. Classen, S. Geier, U. Heber +1
The origin of subdwarf B (sdB) stars is not fully understood yet since it requires high mass loss at the red giant stage. SdBs in close binary systems are formed via common envelop…
On the Origin of Metals in Some Hot White Dwarf Photospheres
M. R. Burleigh, M. A. Barstow, J. Farihi +6
We have searched for evidence for dust and gas disks at a sample of hot DA white dwarfs 20 000K < Teff < 50 000K, without success. Although their atmospheres are polluted with heav…
